Contemporary art for the first time at the Fortress of Vignola


For the first time, the Vignola Fortress is hosting a contemporary art exhibition featuring four projects by five artists from July 2019 to April 2020.

The Rocca di Vignola, in the province of Modena, will be the setting from July 5, 2019, to April 26, 2020, for the contemporary art exhibition Ora più rada ora più densa. Architectures of the Imaginary, curated by Lucia Biolchini. Four projects created by five Italian artists, Marina Fulgeri, Sabrina Muzi, Alessandro Moreschini, Linda Rigotti and Giorgia Valmorri, will alternate over the course of these months.

With this review, the intention is to circumvent the limits dictated by space and time and make new perspectives act. With this in mind, the artists presented invite us to pause and rebuild anarchitecture of the imaginary: Marina Fulgeri’s chromatic signs will redesign the spaces of the façade of the Rocca and the halls of the Rings, that of the Lions and the Leopards; Sabrina Muzi will superimpose landscapes and monuments to read the halls of the Pavilion and that of the Dogs against the light; Alessandro Moreschini will question us about fullness and emptiness with works that in the Hall of Rings and the Hall of Doves will compose new visual choreographies; Linda Rigotti and Giorgia Valmorri will materialize the frescoes in the Hall of Pavilion to make them come alive for the viewer.

For the first time, the Rocca di Vignola will be contaminated by contemporary art to give rise to an unprecedented cultural continuum.

First event to kick off the review will be Self Expression by Marina Fulgeri (July 5 to September 8, 2019). The artist draws attention to the attractive power that chromatic frequencies can generate and how their reading in a psychological key can provide insights into self-knowledge and space.

The exhibition will continue with an extension and deepening of Shan, a body of work by Sabrina Muzi that includes a pictorial installation, a series of watercolors, photographs and videos (Sept. 21 to Nov. 10, 2019).

Beata Solitudo by Alessandro Moreschini will propose finding a condition to orient ourselves in imaginative pollution (Dec. 14, 2019 to Feb. 2, 2020).

The review will close with Da dentro by Linda Rigotti and Giorgia Valmorri: architecture crumbles and becomes memory, nomadism and mutation, freed from the need to fix itself in a structure firmly anchored to the ground (from March 7 to April 26, 2020).
