LUCA VITONE Souvenir d'Italie 29.04 - 05.06.2010 Please scroll down for english version Luca Vitone n� en 1964, vit et travaille � Milan La premi�re exposition personnelle de Luca Vitone � la galerie Michel Rein retrace deux moments essentiels de l'histoire contemporaine italienne : la proclamation de la R�publique en 1947 et l'av�nement de la � Seconde � R�publique en 1994. La R�publique italienne est n�e sous l'impulsion des Partisans oppos�s au r�gime mussolinien. La remise en cause, pendant les ann�es 1990, des principes de la Premi�re R�publique par les partis de centre-droit furent � l'origine de la Seconde R�publique et du "Piano di Rinascita Democratica" (Programme de Renaissance Democratique) r�dig� par Licio Gelli pour la loge ma�onnique Propaganda Due. La loge P2 cr�e par Gelli fut une association secr�te anti-communiste form�e pendant la Guerre Froide et dissoute en 1981 par le gouvernement Spadolini. Cette organisation a compt� plus de 900 membres : politiciens, journalistes, hommes d'affaires, membres de l'arm�e et des services secrets, ayant pour objectif de r�aliser le "Piano di Rinascita Democratica" : un programme ayant pour objet l'instauration d'un Etat autoritaire. L'exposition � la galerie Michel Rein pr�sentera un ensemble de trois oeuvres: - Une oeuvre de grand format, compos�e d'impressions photographiques sur papier sur lesquelles figurent, comme une �pitaphe, la liste des membres de la loge P2, suivis de la d�dicace suivante : � NELL'ANNO XVI DELLA SECONDA REPUBBLICA, A RICORDO DEI SUOI FIGLI MIGLIORI, FONDATORI DELLA PATRIA, L'ITALIA DEDICA PER IL LORO IMPEGNO E SACRIFICIO QUESTA LAPIDE A FUTURA MEMORIA �. (En l'an XVI de la Seconde R�publique, � ses meilleurs Fils, Fondateurs de la Patrie, pour leur engagement et leur sacrifice, l'Italie d�die cette st�le... ). - La deuxi�me oeuvre se pr�sente sous la forme d'une plaque carr�e en marbre sur laquelle est grav� le titre de l'exposition Souvenir d'Italie accompagn� du symbole ma�onnique repr�sentant l'oeil omniscient. - La troisi�me oeuvre est compos�e d'une s�rie de photographies (au format 18x24 cm) repr�sentant des monuments d�di�s � la guerre de lib�ration et d'�l�ments cartographiques de m�me format identifiant les lieux de quelques grandes trag�dies de la seconde moiti� du 20�me si�cle. Luca Vitone commence sa carri�re artistique au milieu des ann�es 1980. Son travail interroge la notion de "lieu", en nous imposant des images sorties de notre m�moire, fragilis�e par un zapping permanent. Luca Vitone explore les modes d'identification des lieux par les productions culturelles : art, cartographie, musique, gastronomie, architecture, politique ou minorit�s ethniques. Luca Vitone retisse le lien entre le sentiment de "perte du lieu" qui caract�rise le post modernisme, et la fa�on dont un sentiment d'appartenance na�t aux confluences de la m�moire collective et des souvenirs intimes. Luca Vitone r�invente les parcours oubli�s pour reconstruire notre g�ographie personnelle. La galerie Michel Rein a d�j� pr�sent� des oeuvres de Luca Vitone dans l'exposition 'Nos Rendez-Vous (4) en septembre 2003. LUCA VITONE Souvenir d'Italie 29.04 - 05.06.2010 Luca Vitone (born in 1964, lives and works in Milan) Luca Vitone first solo exhibition presented at the Galerie Michel Rein recounts two essential moments in Italian contemporary history: the proclamation of the Republic in 1947 and the advent of the "Second" Republic in 1994. The Italian Republic emerged from the Partisan' impetus against Mussolini regime. The questioning, during the 1990's, of the principles of the First Republic by the centre right political parties corresponds to the origins of the Second Republic and the "Piano di Rinascita Democratica" (Plan of Democratic Rebirth) written by Lucio Gelli for the Masonic lodge's Propaganda Due. The P2 lodge founded by Gilli consisted in a secret anti-communist association formed during the Cold War and dissolved in 1981 by the Spadolini government. This organisation counted over 900 members: politicians, journalists, businessmen, army members and secret services agents, aiming to materialise the "Piano di Rinascita Democratica", a program aspiring to establish an Authoritarian State. The exhibition at the galerie Michel Rein will present an ensemble of three works: One large work, composed of photographic prints on paper on which appear, as an epitaph, the list of the P2 members, ending with the following inscription: "NELL'ANNO XVI DELLA SECONDA REPUBLICA, A RICORDO DEI SUOI FIGLI MIGLIORI, FONDATORI DELLA PATRIA, L'ITALIA DEDIA PER IL LORO IMPEGNO E SACRIFICIO QUESTA LAPIDE A FUTURA MEMORIA". (In the year XVI of the Second Republic, in memory of its best Sons, Founders of the homeland, for their involvement and sacrifice, Italy dedicates this stele). The second work consists of a square marble plaque onto which is engraved the title of the exhibition Souvenir d'Italie and accompanied by the Freemasonry eye of providence symbol. The third one is a series of photographs, each measuring 18 x 24 cm, and representing the monuments dedicated to the war of Liberation and cartographic elements identifying the sites of some tragedies from the second half of the 20th century. Luca Vitone began his artistic career in the mid 1980's. His work questions the notion of 'location', by inflicting on the beholder images taken from their memory, weakened by a permanent overload. Luca Vitone explores the modes of identification of spaces by cultural production: art, cartography, music, food, architecture, politics or ethnic minority. Luca Vitone rethreads the link between the feeling of loosing space, which characterises post-modernism, and the manner in which a feeling of belonging appear at the confluence of a collective memory and personal recollections. Luca Vitone reinvents the forgotten paths to rebuild our indiviual geography. The gallery Michel Rein previously presented works by Luca Vitone in the exhibition 'Nos Rendez-vous (4)' in September 2003.
