Press release

Dear friends, my show in Milano based on the project Sailing away to Paint the Sea will be opening February 7, 2013 at the futuristic space for the arts, the Frigoriferi Milanesi. Here, in the space called the Galleria, I will exhibit 130 paintings, 10 x 12 in, canvas on boards, most of which have been purchased last year to fund my project. Friends and supporters will withdraw their paintings on Sunday February 10^th,  from 3pm to 7 pm.During the exhibition two films will be projected to document my journey on the freighter vessel Isolda which left the steel Tata factory in IJmuiden, Holland, on June 22, 2012 to arrive at the port of Cleveland, Ohio the morning of July 5^th, 2012.

Here is the PDF of a very good article  by Francesca Tarantino about my project, Voglio viaggiare su una nave per Dipingere il Mare/ Sailing away to Paint the Sea and about my solo exhibition which is still on view until Nov. 18 at the Stephen B. Luce library, SUNY Maritime College.

Events

Virtual Journey through the Italian Art Labyrinth:

Five meetings with artist and art historian Vittoria Chierici

Saturdays 2:00 – 4:00 pm, October 20, 27, November 3, 10, 17

Vittoria Chierici, a prominent artist from Bologna, will present Italy as a collection of small towns enriched by their historic centers bearing profound histories that lead to extending paths in art, culture, and time. Students attending will construct a virtual voyage based on places where they have visited or have yet to see. Most of these unique spots are off the tourist path and will present our participants with terminology not only useful for a journey but leading to a greater understanding of their artistic culture.

Chierici will conduct her journeys primarily in Italian.
