HRVATSKA UDRUGA LIKOVNIH UMJETNIKA

CROATIAN ASSOCIATION OF VISUAL ARTIST

Mare Magnum Nostrum / international project in Split

10. November 2020. by hulu

Mare Magnum Nostrum

We are all on the same water

The international project Mare Magnum Nostrum by renowned Italian artist Gea Casolaro (curated by Leonardo Regano) is a project supported by Italian Council (8th Edition, 2020) program to promote Italian contemporary art in the world by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism. The main holder of the project is the italian and in cooperation with the Croatian Association of Fine Artists in Split (HULU Split), the project will be presented to the Split audience this Thursday.

Mare Magnum Nostrum is a participatory art project that, thanks to the cooperation of various institutions, associations and the public, is being developed in several countries of the Mediterranean. It will be presented exclusively to the Croatian public in the gallery of the Southeast Tower of Diocletian’s Palace, and after visiting several other Mediterranean countries, it will become part of the permanent collection of the National Museum of Ravenna.

It is a large art installation depicting the Mediterranean Sea that the artist continuously reflects and reinterprets through photographs of people invited to participate in the project: she actively seeks the cooperation of viewers to create a photographic archive of the Mediterranean woven from photographs of everyday human rituals, holidays, landscapes etc.

An art installation set up in the gallery space of the Southeast Tower gives visitors a vivid experience where the audience has a view of all 360 degrees of the Mediterranean from the center of the sea. During the exhibition, visitors are invited to add and / or replace existing images with new photographs taken from the archive by placing them on the corrisponding part of the coast.

Gea Casolaro invites the people of Split to send photos of everyday life from the Mediterranean coast to the project’s website – photos showing at least a small piece of the sea – taken in any country, place, time and season. All collected photos will become an integral part of the project, and the website that will follow it and grow over time, will become a platform rich in photos and different views of the Mediterranean sea, so day by day will develop rhizomatic cartography composed of stories intertwined on this sea, which has always been a source of exchange of civilizations – a true common pool that we share and that unites us – with the aim of abolishing the thought “we on this coast and those on the other side”: not a border between people, but a universe that includes us.

The exhibition will be open from 12th to 26th of November 2020 and admission is free.
