“L’ARTE COME PREGHIERA”

Miniartextil 2014

ENTRO IL 6 OTTOBRE 2024

L’Associazione Culturale ARTE&ARTE promuove un bando rivolto agli artisti per selezionare piccole opere per la mostra d’arte contemporanea tessile, 33° MINIARTEXTIL, che si terrà presso l’Ex Chiesa di San Pietro in Atrio, Spazio Natta e la Basilica di San Fedele a Como, da domenica Dall’8 dicembre 2024, fino a febbraio, dal titolo “ART AS PRAYER”.

Il bando è aperto ad artisti, designer, docenti e studenti di discipline artistiche che propongano un’opera realizzata con tecniche e/o materiali tessili; lo scopo della mostra, infatti, è quello di promuovere e divulgare l’arte tessile come mezzo espressivo dell’arte contemporanea, evidenziandone tecniche e modalità di realizzazione.

IL TEMA

Non possiamo nascondere che questi anni manifestano un profondo bisogno di spiritualità. Tanto forte è il grido della tecnologia che sembra corrispondere a tutti i nostri desideri, tanto più profondo diventa l’esigenza di una vera spiritualità che riporti ciascuno all’incontro con se stesso nella verità della sua esistenza.

Nessuna statistica potrebbe rispondere con cifre e percentuali corrette a questo momento intimo di persone che vivono la pluriformità della preghiera come momento totalmente personale.

Nasce così “Art as Prayer”, che si propone di consentire ad ogni artista di esprimere

  • attraverso l’arte la propria preghiera personale.

Gli artisti, con la loro sensibilità e profonda comprensione dell’animo umano, agiscono

  • come custodi di segreti interiori, illuminando i percorsi della meditazione e della creazione.

Nei momenti di riflessione e contemplazione,

  • la bellezza dell’arte diventa fonte di ispirazione che eleva lo spirito e rinnova la speranza.

Come un antico rituale,

  • il processo creativo convoca la mente e il cuore in una dimensione superiore, simile ad una preghiera che apre la porta alla spiritualità.

L’opera deve possedere le seguenti caratteristiche:

  • opera originale, realizzata a mano o dove la tecnica è controllata dall’artista, eseguita con materiali o tecniche tessili, può essere bi o tridimensionale.

Le dimensioni dell’opera non dovranno categoricamente superare i 20×20×20 centimetri. E’ vietato l’uso di passepartout.

  • L’opera non è destinata ad essere appesa o sospesa ad un supporto e non deve essere necessario alcun collegamento alla linea elettrica.

L’ammissione dell’opera alla mostra è subordinata alla selezione insindacabile operata da una Giuria nominata direttamente dall’Associazione Culturale ARTE&ARTE e che, oltre a selezionare i 54 pezzi che saranno esposti in mostra, assegnerà anche l’annuale “PREMIO ARTE&ARTE A NAZZARENA BORTOLASO”.

The Cultural Association ARTE&ARTE is promoting a call for artists to select small works for the contemporary textile art exhibition, 33rd MINIARTEXTIL to be held in the Former Church of San Pietro in Atrio, Spazio Natta and the Basilica of San Fedele in Como, from Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024, through February, entitled “ART AS PRAYER.”

The call is open to artists, designers, teachers and students of art disciplines who propose a work made with textile techniques and/or materials; in fact, the purpose of the exhibition is to promote and popularize textile art as an expressive medium of contemporary art, highlighting its techniques and methods of realization.

THE THEME

We cannot hide the fact that these years manifest a deep need for spirituality. So loud is the cry of technology that seems to correspond to all our desires so much deeper becomes the demand for a true spirituality that will bring each person back to meet himself in the truth of his existence.
No statistics could answer with correct figures and percentages this intimate moment of people experiencing the pluriformity of prayer as a totally personal moment.
Hence, “Art as Prayer” was born, which aims to enable every artist to express his or her personal prayer through art. Artists, with their sensitivity and deep understanding of the human soul, act as keepers of inner secrets, illuminating the paths of meditation and creation. In moments of reflection and contemplation, the beauty of art becomes a source of inspiration that uplifts the spirit and renews hope. Like an ancient ritual, the creative process summons the mind and heart to a higher dimension, similar to a prayer that opens the door to spirituality.

The work must possess the following characteristics: original work, handmade or where the technique is controlled by the artist, executed with textile materials or techniques, may be two or three-dimensional. The size of the work must categorically not exceed 20×20×20 centimeters. The use of passepartouts is prohibited. The work is not intended to be hung or suspended from a support, and no connection to the power line should be required.

Admission of the work to the exhibition is subject to the unquestionable selection made by a Jury directly appointed by the ARTE&ARTE Cultural Association and which, in addition to selecting the 54 pieces that will be exhibited in the exhibition, will also award the annual “PREMIO ARTE&ARTE A NAZZARENA BORTOLASO”.
