SACROSANCTUM. 2 ANTONIO RIELLO Oratorio di san Mercurio - Pa 7 luglio – 31 agosto 2017 opening: 7 luglio 2017, h 18:30. Ingresso gratuito “For centuries religious visions and popular pieties Have been the backbone of art. I like assembling this extraordinary heritage With contemporary images, trivial, technological and dangerous ones”. (Antonio Riello) The work by ANTONIO RIELLO for Sacrosanctum.2 will be presented on Friday, July 7, at 6.30 pm, at the Oratorio of San Mercurio in Palermo (largo S. Giovanni degli Eremiti). Following the logical expeditions of a conceptual charade, Riello reshapes objects and images investigating with great sagacity the ambivalences and contradictions of contemporary society. Taken from the SUPERMODERN WARS series, his work combines in a single aesthetic potential painting, sculpture and photoreproduction, resulting in a perfect syncretism between Tiepolis's legacy and contemporaneity, between sacredness and propensity to war. Its visual shortcuts, its wild ideas use the paradox as the main tool of knowledge and reflection. Emblem of our time, ambiguity is in fact a symptom of our inability to choose, of a globalized rhetoric of culture, aimed at immobility rather than at a free expression of the conscience. Supported and organized by Amici dei Musei Siciliani and curated by Adalberto Abbate and Maria Luisa Montaperto Sacrosanctum. 2 leverages the attesting value of the artists to promote an active engagement in the protection of common goods, thus offering the chance to start, with free donation, restoration and maintenance works on historical monuments of the city.
