Artista, fotocamera, soggetto: un ritratto del rapporto individuo – società 

Articolo in collaborazione con L'Eclisse. Da sempre gli artisti hanno rappresentato il rapporto individuo-società e l'arte ci permette di coglierne i mutamenti. Indaghiamo come questa relazione si presenti nell'epoca contemporanea, osservando gli spazi privati e pubblici immortalati nelle fotografie di Menno Aden e Christopher Herwig.
di Elena Floris e Alice Di Terlizzi L’essere umano è sempre stato oggetto di studio degli artisti: prendendo in considerazione come il rapporto di uomini e donne con la società cambi continuamente, l’artista si avvicina ad esaminare i fenomeni…

Fashion is Art

The Met Gala returns with the theme “Fashion is Art”, turning the red carpet of New York City into a space where clothes become means of expressions: not just a series of dresses, but a reflection of our society.
Every first Monday of May, New York briefly shifts its focus. The steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art transform: from being just an entrance to becoming a stage to be observed, photographed, interpreted. The Met Gala is often reduced to what we see the…

Are Literature and Technology Mutually Exclusive? 

Humanity subjects individuals to ever evolving world dynamics, that follow the wave of progress which now comes under the form of increasing technology use. However, does tech reliance come with a parallel abandonment of literature reading? Or will people be able to take advantage of AI use while still recognizing the 'outdated' enjoyability of authors' creativeness?
The world humans have come to coexist within is as multifaceted as it is ever evolving, since it follows the direction of human development while implicitly establishing the canons according to which human life should be molded. Considering the inescapably pervasive…

Control, Chaos, and Canvases: Why Modern Art Threatens Fascism

“Too complicated” isn’t always a critique, it can be a discomfort with thinking. Modern art has long been outcast not because it lacks meaning, but because it challenges the narrative. And that’s exactly what makes it powerful.
“Works of art which cannot be understood in themselves but need some pretentiousinstruction book to justify their existence will never again find their way to the Germanpeople.” Adolf Hitler pronounced this in 1937, during the opening of the Nazi…

Streets of Minneapolis

Streets of Minneapolis dimostra come la musica può ancora avere un forte valore politico e sociale. Springsteen riafferma il legame profondo fra arte e politica: il brano non si limita a raccontare un fatto di cronaca, lo trasforma in sentimento collettivo in grado di far smuovere l’animo della gente dimostrando che la musica non è solo intrattenimento o una storia d’amore, ma anche voce critica del presente.
In quante occasioni negli ultimi anni abbiamo letto e sentito cantanti essere duramente criticatiper aver parlato di politica o aver inneggiato alla pace durante concerti o festival della musica?Quante volte abbiamo sentito che la musica non è politica ed…

Street Art as Social Infrastructure  

Street art doesn’t just decorate a city, it can quietly become part of how a community lives, gathers, and remembers. From Maradona’s face in the Quartieri Spagnoli to the murals of Ponticelli, these walls aren’t just images but shared reference points, shaped as much by people as by paint.
For years, Ciro Maiello kept the window of his apartment in Naples’ Quartieri Spagnoli tightly shut. Not because of the noise, nor the narrowness of the streets below, but because when he opened it, it opened directly onto Diego Armando Maradona’s…

From Art to Equity: is Fractional Ownership redefining collecting?

When a masterpiece is segmented into shares, its aesthetic value remains intact but its social function changes.
Rapidly evolving financial markets and digital technologies are increasingly redefining consumption patterns and challenging traditional notions of property. Not immune to these transformations, the art sector is responding by integrating models such as fractional ownership. This concept first took shape in real estate during the twentieth…

One Thousand and One Nights: a Bridge to the Medieval Orient 

When you were reading tales as a child, there is a great possibility that some of them were from One Thousand and One Nights. The magical and mysterious world of merchants, voyagers, sorcerers, creatures, sultans and princesses portrays the whole spectrum of human nature. In these works of art, magic plays a very special role, and it is not used as means of escaping reality.
Oh, imagine a land, it’s a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam Where you wander among every culture and tongue It’s chaotic, but hey, it’s home. These are the lyrics to Will Smith’s opening performance in the 2019 live…
