"CONTEXT-ERE (In the frame of AMINA)"
Sardinia - New York - Sardinia 2019-2020
curated by Fabio Acca
Action #1

New York

AMINA>ANIMA (Soul) is a project created by 369gradi and directed by Valeria Orani to achive a contemporary prospective through the ancestral roots of Sardinia’s cultural identity and developed by the funds of Unione Europea PO FESR 2014-2020 – RAS - Regione Autonoma della Sardegna.

"CONTEXT-ERE (In the frame of AMINA)" is part of Alessandro Carboni’s larger project "Context".

the research that the artist intends to develop within AMINA>ANIMA (Soul), draws from these assumptions and aims to activate a reflection on the idea of weaving and loom as a model of the cosmic mind, and on its relations with the visual arts, cartographic processes and the stage.

During the Open Studio Alessandro Carboni will show his work and will talk about how he is studying and relating the patterns and modular structures developed in the Sardinian textile production with geometric volumes and primary elementary units of American minimalism.
As "topos" Alessandro Carboni choose the traditional design developed in the town of Nule in Sardinia, the "Nule's flame" given by the rhomboid shape of the drawing, which resembles precisely a flame.

Alessandro Carboni is a visual artist, performer and researcher, whose artistic and conceptual production revolves around the complex web of correlations and permutations that occur between space and its constituent elements (people, places, relationships, meanings), starting from the concept of cartography, intended as a "scaled-down/reduced representation of the earth's surface and the phenomena that take place and evolve on it". In this sense, in his performative and installation projects, the artist uses the stage as an actual projection screen from which arise reflections and criticalities related to the contemporary world.
