From the Dolomites to Venice (and vice versa). Author's migration

Thursday, February 20th at the 6 pm the Officina delle Zattere reopens with two important initiatives, which will last until March 23 "From the Dolomites to Venice (and vice versa). Author's migration" was born from a reflection on the common thread that links Venice with its Alps, on the relationship between memory , bond with the land and art, on the links of the inhabitants of the province of Belluno with "stone, wood and water, the three main elements of alchemy in the Dolomites ( that ) they also become the key determinants of their history" writes the curator Roberta Semeraro. Migration intellectuals were the movements of those people who, in order to continue their studies or professions exercising , abandoning the mountains portandone memories with him. In the exhibition you can admire sculptures then Augusto Murer, a native of those places that has always remembered the brief but crucial collaboration with Arturo Martini took place in Venice , and his son Franco Murer, who studied at the Academy of Arts in Venice . Besides , the works of Dino Buzzati: native of Belluno and settled in Milan, where he had the opportunity to represent the Duomo square, painted the monumental gothic church in the guise of a cathedral of dolomite rock and the square itself as a green valley.
Migration can also define the paths of the artists that they walk the paths of knowledge , keeping alive the memory of their origins. Franco Fiabane , dealing with the latest trends in plastics, has preserved the unique relationship with the stone and the wood from its forests , its mountains and the great tradition of crafts; Isabella Bona , Barbara Taboni , Raul and James Rabattin Roccon , representing the latest generation of artists who live in the Dolomites , pursue their intimate artistic research in the silence of the mountains: for them, the children of the technological era and digital , the physical movement is no longer necessary to reach other places of learning . Other appearances in the show evoke strong links with local memory , the work of the photographers of the Collective Thema ( Annamaria Belloni, Daniel Cinciripini, Marco Rigamonti ) objects presented by the Museum of Stone and the Stonecutters Castellavazzo and the Museum of the rafters of the Piave of Codissago .
