Rich menu also for the first weekend of August on FIRST Art, the FIRSTonline weekly magazine dedicated to the world of art and culture. Marika Lion tells us about the Dutch painter Jan Vermeer, the Borsino degli artists is instead curated by Giuliano Papalini, who tells us about Arcangelo Sassolino, the artist who challenges the limits of matter. The artist is born in Vicenza in 1967, where he still lives and works: le His sculptures and installations explore mechanical behavior, materials and the physical properties of force.
Also interesting was the news, a few days ago, from UNESCO which updated the list of world heritage sites, protected by the United Nations agency. To date there are 1.097, of which 54 in Italy and this year the Piedmontese city of Ivrea has also been added to the list. “A model social project, Ivrea expresses a modern vision of the relationship between industrial production and architecture”. These are the words that have accompanied the Piedmontese city among the new cultural sites to be protected. The industrial city includes a large factory and buildings designed to serve administration and social services. Designed by leading Italian urban planners and architects, mostly between 1930 and 1960, the architectural ensemble reflects the ideas of the Movimento Comunitaria.
And while there is talk of abolishing the free museum initiative on the first Sundays of every month, the MAXXI for the month of August launches a nice initiative: throughout the month of August the doors of twelve exhibitions set up in the Roman art gallery will open – even until 22.00 pm on Thursdays – with a special discount, a single ticket for seven euros to visit them all. The museum in via Guido Reni will also remain open on Wednesday 15 August.
