CREATIVE MEETING: LANDSCAPE AND MUSIC

Five openings located in the space outside to where concerts are held, five informal meetings with the artists: Dino de Simone, Paolo de Nevi, Urit Luden, Eva Nedergaard and Helen Donnelly.
It is a small selection of works exhibited also in Italy and abroad by the association CONTEA DI LEVANTE, an association that aims to survey the landscape with the eyes of new travelers, still journeying on the routes of a “petit tour “expanded to cross the paths of the wonderful and “unsaid” hinterland.
In turn, seated among the audience, there will be critics and artists, who, during the break and at the end of concerts, will be willing to start informal conversation about the particular language which shapes the exhibited works. All the artists, who lived or worked in La Spezia area, have been able to come up with a new and original visions of this territory, moving away from traditional landscape paintings by breaking its stereotypes.
An artist-signed postcards will be given to the visitors. A way to remember and spread the aesthetic quality of the landscape consciously reinterpreted by contemporary artists.
The works will be exhibited at the following concerts:

16 July – CARRO
23 July – BRUGNATO
24 July – BONASSOLA
27 July – FRAMURA
28 July – ROCCHETTA VARA
