Divided into three sections \u2013 La presenza del futuro<\/em>, Tornare<\/em> and Passato prossimo<\/em> – each of which can be considered as a confluence of the other two, the Disio<\/em>, project – whose name is borrowed from Dante (Purgatorio<\/em>, VIII, v. 1-3: \u201cEra gi\u00e0 l\u2019ora che volge il disio\u201d [\u201cIt was the hour that turns seafarers\u2019 longings homeward\u201d]) to indicate its stumbling into the realm of saudade –<\/em> aims to be a moment of debate on the state of art, a place that reawakens critical judgement and intelligence from an atmosphere in which these are often barred.<\/p>\n Arising from an encounter with certain artists (Armando Rever\u00f3n, Umberto Boccioni, Marcel Duchamp, Kazimir Malevi\u010d) whose undisputed aesthetic scope bridges time, space and any kind of territoriality, La presenza del futuro<\/em> (the first section, located in the Sala TAC \u2013 Trasnocho Cultural and curated by F\u00e9lix Suazo), outlines a square – formed by Rever\u00f3n\u2019s Tel\u00e9fono<\/em>, Boccioni\u2019s Disegno per forme uniche di continuit\u00e0 nello spazio<\/em>, Malevi\u010d\u2019s Disegno suprematista <\/em>and Duchamp\u2019s In Piedi Nudo <\/em>\u2013 whose magnetic power lies its vision of the future, constant presence of the now, and reading of what\u2019s to come. Two figures from the current generation (Luis Arroyo and Magdalena Fernandez) enter this visual ring with a joint artwork, like appendices to a reflection that extends to the present and to today\u2019s presences to highlight a growth in art, in critical thought, in the celestial ideology that acts on the future as time for a coming together<\/em>. The five Italian and ten Venezuelan artists also appearing in the middle section (Tornare<\/em>) present a meaningful work relating to the same theme, with an aesthetic tracking of their work; an undercurrent, an imprint capable of marking their vision of the world, their upcoming gaze<\/em>.<\/p>\n The section devoted to returning (Tornare<\/em>), organised at La Caja \u2013 Centro Cultural Chacao and curated by Carolina Balza, forms the heart of the exhibition, the intention being to present the site-specific works arising from the three-way dialogue between artists of the five generations which ideologically cover the second half of the twentieth century. The idea is to establish a conversation among these artists, initially in epistolary form and then in real life, with the goal of getting them to work together in the Centro Cultural Chacao, in the hope of creating six-handed works between indoor and outdoor spaces, between open and closed, between Innen<\/em> and Aussen<\/em>.<\/p>\n Thanks to the creative force of five Italian artists – Enrico Pulsoni, Giovanni Termini, Eugenio Tibaldi, Domenico Antonio Mancini and Antonio Della Guardia \u2013 in dialogue with ten Venezuelan artists \u2013 Jason Galarraga and Adolfo Alay\u00f3n, Luis Mill\u00e9 and Zeinab Rebeca Bulhossen, Hayfer Brea and \u00c1ngela Bonadies, Iv\u00e1n Candeo and Camilo Barboza, Eduardo Vargas Rico and Manuel Eduardo Gonz\u00e1lez \u2013 the exhibition aims to propose, against a background of uncertain economic, political and social circumstances, the magic of a reawakening, the bipolar enthusiasm of re-addressing tradition (the perennial nature of values acquired in the past which project into the <\/em>future), the desire for a shared commitment.<\/p>\n With the starting point of a particular social and anthropological climate and a single installation –Las Cestas <\/em>– of \u2018guapas\u2019, richly decorated circular baskets woven by the Yekuana indigenous Venezuelan people, the third section of the exhibition (also at La Caja) focuses attention on the perfect space of a geometry which characterises not only many Italian artistic ideas born from groups making Kinetic and Programmed art in the early sixties – and intersecting with the illustrious names of Jes\u00fas Soto and Carlos Cruz Diez – but also certain dynamics of contemporary cultures. Here the visitor encounters a second square which, thanks to the work of Venezuelan artist Antonio Paz and Italians Max Coppeta and Fabrizio Cotognini, constitutes an invaluable instance, a reflection on the splendour of geometry, a journey in today\u2019s furor\u00a0<\/em>mathematics<\/i>.
