Mostra di mosaici contemporanei per MEDITAEUROPA

Koko mosaico è nuovamente presente al festival Meditaeuropa. Questa volta la direzione del festival, mi ha affidato (Luca Barberini) la cura della mostra di mosaici contemporanei all’interno delle Artificerie Almagià, dal 6 all’8 maggio 2008. L’Almagià è un suggestivo edificio situato in darsena ravennate, a suo tempo utilizzato come magazzino di zolfo e ora dedicato ad ospitare concerti, mostre e eventi di vario genere. Lo scopo della mostra è svelare al pubblico come si muove l’arte musiva all’interno della città di Ravenna, come viene tramandata l’antica arte bizantina, e come i giovani artisti non solo ravennati, bensì provenienti da diversi paesi in qualche modo legati a questa città, riescano a tramutare le loro emozioni in tessere.Gli artisti che hanno partecipato alla mostra sono: Aniko Ferreira da Silva e Giseppe Donnaloia, Filippo Bandini, Arianna Gallo, Luca Barberini, Valeria Ercolani, Francesca Gismondi, Takako Hirai, Isabelle Seker Tulay, Yukiko Nagai e Elisa Simoni (vice presidente di  A.I.M.C.).Durante l’evento è stato girato un video nel quale mi intervistano.Ed ora vorrei dare spazio agli artisti ed alle loro opere!!!
