TEMPORARY EXHIBITION

“Then my trembling fingers grasp each thread, and in the golden meshes of this fine net, harmonious hunter, I trap my dreams.”
José-Maria de Heredia, The Trophies: ‘La Siesta’, 1905, p.108

The place of the animal in art is preponderant, protean, plastic and fluid; these living beings have not always been distinguished by specialists, who have often preferred to analyse men and women in the foreground of works. Nevertheless, some were already the main subjects, as shown by the animals depicted on the walls of cave paintings, the tapestry of The Lady with the Unicorn commissioned by Antoine de Viste (1484-1538) or Dürer’s animal portraits in the 16th century.

Why does the animal seem to burst onto the art scene today?

Like a reverie, TAMAT proposes here a space augmented by presences, punctuated by the poems of Parnassian José-Maria de Heredia, an interweaving of forces, potentials and stories that these living creatures bring with them. As in a cadavre-exquis, one form calls the other, reducing the distances between the aquatic and the aerial worlds, between the desire for realism and phantasmagoria, finally offering the possibility of new cosmograms.

Animal Textile

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Esplorazione del tema animale attraverso una selezione di arazzi antichi e moderni di TAMAT, confrontati con opere contemporanee.
MOSTRA TEMPORANEA
Dal 25 marzo 2023 al 10 settembre 2023

“Allora le mie dita tremanti afferrano ogni filo, e nelle maglie dorate di questa rete sottile, cacciatore armonioso, intrappolo i miei sogni”.
José-Maria de Heredia, I Trofei: “La Siesta”, 1905, p.108

Il posto dell’animale nell’arte è preponderante, proteiforme, plastico e fluido; questi esseri viventi non sono sempre stati distinti dagli specialisti, che spesso hanno preferito analizzare gli uomini e le donne in primo piano nelle opere. Nonostante ciò, alcuni erano già i soggetti principali, come dimostrano gli animali rappresentati sulle pareti delle pitture rupestri, l’arazzo de La dama con l’unicorno commissionato da Antoine de Viste (1484-1538) o i ritratti di animali di Dürer nel XVI secolo.

Perché l’animale sembra irrompere oggi sulla scena artistica?

Come una fantasticheria, TAMAT propone qui uno spazio incrementato da presenze, punteggiato dalle poesie del parnassiano José-Maria de Heredia, un intreccio di forze, potenzialità e storie che queste creature viventi portano con sé. Come in un cadavre-exquis, una forma chiama l’altra, riducendo le distanze tra il mondo acquatico e quello aereo, tra il desiderio di realismo e la fantasmagoria, per offrire infine la possibilità di nuovi cosmogrammi.
