The Catalog of Modern Art, Editorial Giorgio Mondadori by Cairo Editore, reaches its 59th edition, the longest-running and most sought-after yearbook of Italian art, published for the first time in 1962 and which has since become an unmissable reference for having a complete and exhaustive vision of the contemporary national artistic panorama.
“The first important novelty of this edition of the Catalog is the arrival as editorial consultant of Elena Pontiggia, a well-known figure in the Italian artistic world, for years a signature of the monthly magazine “Arte”, who has collaborated in particular in the recovery of masters of the early twentieth century. – explains Carlo Motta, Editorial Manager of the Catalog – This year too the Catalog is particularly rich in content, information and illustrations to make consultation even more pleasant and interesting. I also remember that CAM is also digital, with the website www.catalogoartemoderna.it, and social with the Facebook page CAM, Modern Art Catalogue.

TRANSPARENT AS A DRAGONFLY
Curated by Rita Carta Manias, Lesley Bunch, Anna Isopo, Martina Scavone
Thursday 5 October 2023 at 6:00 pm, the collective art show “TRANSPARENT AS A DRAGONFLY” will be inaugurated at the Arte Borgo Gallery.
Celebrating the author of “Invisible Cities” is the aim of the exhibition “Transparent as a Dragonfly”, conceived of as a recognition to Italo Calvino on the centenary of his birth. The exhibition was born out of the collaboration between the Arte Borgo Gallery and ArtCan, placing the expressive language of the artists at the forefront, influenced by one of the author’s most significant texts, “Invisible Cities”.
Divided into two appointments, the exhibition will move beyond Italian borders, firstly presented in the Arte Borgo Gallery exhibition space in Rome, in 2024 it will travel to the Bermondsey Project Space in London. “Transparent as a dragonfly” brings together the work of 36 artists united by linguistic interweavings whose role is comparable to the role of the reader of a novel who, addressing various issues, focuses on complex productions and reflections permeated by an intimate investigation from which one’s personal creativity emerges. United by a similar introspection on places, people and memory, the artists create a harmonious dialogue between space and works. An exhibition that celebrates a masterful coexistence through the pages of the book and the works of the artists.
Some guest collaborative artists take part in the exhibition: the architect Felicia Cleper-Borkovi and the British composer Benedict Collins Rice, authors of a video and a soundscape respectively, based on Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. The video includes ink drawings by architect Alan Codd.
Artists: Axel Becker, Serafino Botticelli, Lesley Bunch, Paola Ceci, Tere Chad, Francesca Ciaudano, Phil Cope, Roberta De Caro, Luigi De Leonibus, Stathis Dimitriadis, Diane Frost, Waltraud Gemein, Silvio Gorelli, Cathy Green, Monika Hartl, Rian Hotton, Catherine Jacobs, Silvana Landolfi, Sandy Layton, OXALEA – Léa Layeux, Lola Llinares, Andréa Lobel, Lawrence Mathias, Rebecca Moss Guyver, Maria Pacheco Cibils, Hedy Parry-Davies, Ada Pasta, Desa Philippi, Jane Pryor, Luciano Puzzo, Paulina Ree, Maria Stamati, Anna Tonelli, Rebecca Tucker, Maz Weinec

PLENITUDE
Cured by Miss Anna Isopo
Presentation by the Art Historian Miss Martina Scavone
PLENITUDE is the emblematic title of the exhibition curated by Anna Isopo of Arte Borgo Gallery hosted at the Museo Diocesano S. Matteo in Salerno from 3 to 17 September 2022.
The imposing Museum, an important treasure chest of works ranging from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, is the setting for the works of contemporary artists that are presented in one of the prestigious rooms that are part of the museum itinerary. The Diocesan Museum S. Matteo of Salerno is undoubtedly the most important container of works of art in the city of Salerno and its province, its artistic heritage includes ivories, paintings on canvases and woods, works of goldsmith and some archaeological finds.
Plenitude was born as a proposal to place within an important and evocative space, works in which the different expressive languages reveal the fullness of every single research as the essence of strength of the author.
Plenitude intends not only to enhance the expressive character of the artist, explored between shapes and colors, but is preparing to evoke meanings linked to the individual experience narrated not only from an aesthetic point of view but unhinging emotions that involve the observer. Art, therefore, as Fullness of creative energy, Fullness of emotional intensity. Fullness that helps to generate future scenarios.
The collective Beyond sight invited the spectators to go further by overcoming the fear that anchors their certainties to launch themselves towards still formless freedom. A hymn to go beyond traditional cognitive schemes and explore the free associations of the mind to find new ways and the most authentic part of oneself, thanks to the dialogue with works of art.
The exhibition welcomed 35 artists from 14 countries, including Japan, New Zealand and United States, and has received the moral patronage of the Tuscany Region, the Campania Region, Suor Orsola Benincasa University and the Municipality of Florence.
The exhibition has run from 2 to 12 July 2022 at OnArt Gallery, in via della Pergola 57-61r, Florence.
The opening of the exhibition took place on 2 July, with a debate on the theme of the exhibition. The video is available on facebook .

From 4 to 14 September 2020 the artist will participate in the International exhibition of contemporary art – GENESIS” at the prestigious and suggestive location of the Bellini Museum in Florence.
The term “Genesis” of Greek derivation embodies our concept of birth. The central node of an exhibition that leads the artists to reflect on themes ranging from the biblical creation of the world to the physical and spiritual rebirth of each of us. Sculpture, painting, photography, each form of art participates in the dialogue of artists in a time, our contemporary, in which speed and immediacy have taken the place of reflection on our everyday life, on our origins, while a new set of values and ideas is necessary to regain possession of the present.
Excellent results from ART Innsbruck 2020 (24th edition) in Austria.
