Timeless fragments: chromatic vibrations between water and earth - whose title is borrowed from fragments and archaeological finds in the city of Brindisi, the venue of the event - is a FESTIVAL of Visual, Sound and Performing Arts, that wants to make sense of detail in its uniqueness, recalling the places of "universal synergies" and the relationship between "identity and territory". About 60 national and international artists have been invited to dialogue with the city and the space that hosts them.

The Festival - promoted by Primo Piano LivinGallery and curated by Dores Sacquegna - has as institutional partner the Municipality of Brindisi, and as a cultural partner the Cact Center of Arts, Culture and Tourism, Department of the Atlantic Museum of the Island of Lanzarote in Spain. Artists from all over the world show their works and projects: From Europe, Asia, Middle East, Russia, USA, in synergy dialogue with the Puglia's Region.

The Festival opens with three unprecedented performances of experimental theater and sound art: by Apulian artists Massimiliano Manieri (in collaboration with the performer artist Michaela Stifaniand the musician Max Nocco) and by American performer Jeannette Joy Harris.
The Festival is divided into three sessions of which: "LANDGRAPHIE", "RITUAL ROOMS", and "3D PROJECT ROOM", all of them, crosses unstable territories, launches new challenges, proposes different points of view, dialogue with the social. The project manifests itself, as a concrete sign of a constantly changing society, through divergent dynamism of thought, works that carry the visitor into new imaginative connections.
The "LANDGRAPHIE" session is dedicated to Land Art and hosts unpublished videos and projects of some of the most interesting contemporary land-artists including: Christo & Jeanne-Claude, Craig Dongoski, Pam Longobardi, Ulrike Arnold. In NATIONAL PREVIEW, the whole project of videos titled "SILSILA" by Iraqi Sama Alshaibi and the film "UNDER WATER SCULPTURE" by the British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, worldwide know for his monumental sculptures in the marine parks and, for an incredible coincidence, somehow recalls and remembers archaeological finds in the waters of Brindisi. Both films were presented in part in the recent Venice Biennale.

"RITUAL ROOMS" is the session dedicated to contemporary visual arts. In the "Energy Rooms" with universal themes, the following artists are exhibited: Giulio De Mitri, Fernando De Filippi, Gino Fossali, Sonia Giavitto, Joseph Provan and Marianna Rydvald. Between "Identity and Territory", artists include: Michele Giangrande, Angioletta De Nitto, Andy Artyuhin, Marc Brousse, Dores Sacquegna, Jordi Rosado, Maria Antonietta Scaringella, Evgeniya Strygina, Laura Victore,

Ten Wolde, Beatrice Desrousseaux, Margarita Henriksoon, Paulina Sierra Salazar, Pam Longobardi, Alina Lutaeva, Paolo Cervino, Marina Kabisova & Asya Rilova, Galina Khandova, Coral Fafiani, Maria Luisa Imperiali, Sandra Miranda Pattin, Katarina Norling, Donato Bruno Leo, Fides Linien, Julia Skinner, Guarnieri, Vito Sardano.

The "3D PROJECT ROOM" section, is a virtual platform for unpublished projects and houses the works by Rosa Cruglez Sternmann, Teresa Olabuenaga; Viktoria Isaulova, Elena Klyueva & Maxime Rybalko, Vladimir Kulikov & Natalia Kulikova, Veronika Litvin, Vitaliy Maksimenko, Gerard Frances And Andria Santorelli, Pep Manresa, Christel Sobke, Andrea Vargas, Cynthia Ruse, Stuart Ross Snider, Marianna Bartolomeo, Monte Wright.

Laura Victore is a contemporary artist adding into her collection
of past works, a new exploration of Art History's tradition of
Equestrian Painting. Ms. Victore is a horse owner and rider whose
work represents the perpetual shift in the Idyllic Barn.

Says Ms. Victore, "Certainly, owning and riding a horse is hard
work, but it is one which requires tenderness, attention to detail and
a deep appreciation for an amazing animal. Amazing because of the
ways in which horses communicate to each other and to humans
through a very tactile and intuitive manner. It takes a long time to
learn their language and to hear their voices."

The barn is an idyllic oasis of respite from the modern world of
technology driven communication. This oasis allows one to practice
at and to excel at being in the moment. One must have a feel for
their own surroundings and react with proper instincts and also,
quick reflexes.

Ms. Victore, is also an art teacher at Housatonic Valley Regional
HS, who adds,"All of these same factors come into play
within my studio practice as well; it takes a deep respect for
each horse and their caregivers to understand how to translate
the imagery of this special kind of relationship into a painting."

What is ArtPrize?
In its third year, ArtPrize® has become an unexpected phenomenon. Part arts festival, part social experiment, part civic project, the event overtakes an entire city bringing visitors in the hundreds of thousands.

Unlike any other event, ArtPrize gives away the largest cash prize for an art competition--$250,000 to the winner, $484,000 total. The winner is decided solely by a public vote. Venues and artists register and find each other through artprize.org. (ArtPrize organizers do not pick any artists to exhibit.)

Designed as a new kind of event, ArtPrize is a platform on which artists can experiment, collaborate, and explore new ideas.

PechaKucha Night Volume 8
on Sunday May 22,
2011 to be held at MUSE Arts Warehouse,
located at 703D Louisville Road
PechaKucha Night
starts at 8:00 PM and
each presenter will show
20 slides for
20 seconds apiece.

RSVP, is an invitational response-based group exhibition co-curated by Rubi McGrory and Jamie Kutner. The chain of visual response began with a single photograph, chosen by ThincSavannah founder Ashley Bowersox. A group of five artists were asked to respond to this photograph by creating a piece of art in their chosen medium. That response could be based on theme, color, content, form, or however the artist chose to interpret the image. Upon completion, each artist passed their piece to one artist in the subsequent group. In turn, the second group responded to the previous group’s completed artwork. This process was repeated a total of four times to produce the final 20 works on display in the exhibition. The participating artists are:

Joemy Buschur
Heath Ritch
Heather Deyling
Christine Sajecki
Andrea Gray Harper
Todd Schroeder
Elsie Taliaferro Hill
Ben Stanley
Chad Hoover
Ellen Susan
Richard Leo Johnson
Shawn Turner

The broad theme of “Wide Open 2”

knowledge and freedom and love …
wide open spaces…
arms wide open…
eyes wide open…
but as with all things,
there is the inevitable opposite…
wide open to attack …
corruption …
failure.
What kind of fantasy is this?
What does it really indicate?
This juried show looks to explore this idea of “wide open”
in all the hidden niches of our collective psyche

NOVEMBER 12- 14, 2010

Telfair Art Fair, one of Savannah’s most popular fall events! Held under a large, lighted tent adjacent to historic Telfair Square, the 2010 Art Fair is free and open to the public throughout the weekend. The annual event showcases a variety of original art for sale.

Weather and Atmosphere, Caladan Gallery, Boston, MA

The source of the original drama - movement, exhilaration - the atmosphere is affected by weather and the weather by the atmosphere. It is a constant awakening of the elements, changing, combining to produce storms, blue sky, wind, rain, snow - all as finite and infinite as constant evolution can be. The focus tends to be on movement and a great deal of energy, whether it be tempestuous, awe-inspiring, or even calming. It is chemistry in the macrocosm, action and reaction, visually attainable. We are involved by chance or otherwise.

LAURA VICTORE, Savannah, GA Solo Exhibition Award Winner
"The contrast of natural form and machine is beautifully executed in these images by Laura Victore. We are reminded of the fact that machinery was actually designed and that design and function are interchangeable. One is immediately struck by the visual components of these images, but as a secondary consideration, we wonder of this function; where the subject is going, what its purpose is. The organic and the human-generated are separated only by time."

About ArtPrize®

Designed as a very different art competition, the goal is for the general public and artists to collide, exchange ideas and come away changed.

Grand Rapids, MI USA

September 22 - October 10

* $449,000 prize ($250,000 to 1st place)

My work will be exhibited at:
Riverview Center
678 Front Ave
Grand Rapids

Riverview Center is a four story 200,000 sq/ft historic building that was originally built by the RC Allen Company in the early 1900’s for the manufacture of mechanical calculators. Located just north of the Fish Ladder Park and just south of the prominent Sixth Street Bridge, it is situated right on the banks of the Grand River with over 1,500 feet of frontage along the Downtown River Walk. The property also is highly visible from both the 131 and I-196 expressways with over 200,000 cars passing by each day, and it benefits from an abundance of free on-site parking, which is quite rare in the downtown area.

Riverview’s exceptional visibility and Grand River frontage lends itself to exterior installments either along the River or around (or on) the building. We also many nice corridors and vacant suites that should help showcase our artist’s work.

A Beautiful Demise

The works in this series focus on imagined reliquary objects which float above mercurial water and scarred land masses. The images depict the Earth devoid of human life. My thoughts of the pattern of peril for the human condition are presented as an ephemeral time and space conundrum, and the vessels paradoxically emerge and dissolve within the fog-laden atmosphere.

The objects which appear to hover in orbit, reinforce the concept of our disconnect with our planet, thus creating an awareness of the ability of Earth to sustain life within a limited time frame. I choose to investigate the topic of the Earth devoid of humans, through the artists’ traditional materials such as drawings on paper, brush, rag and pigment. In contrast, I have developed works in materials such as computer generated imagery printed in ink on aluminum and three dimensional computer fabrications.

I use my own photography to give the work a fixed reality and to position the central reliquary objects. The objects are invented through the tools that industrial designers use.

I use three-dimensional computer programs to animate, fabricate and navigate my thoughts through this futuristic landscape. The surfaces of the vessels are alternately reflective and metallic or ancient and stone-like. The sfumato-type backgrounds, viewed from high above Earth's surface, create a sense of an uncomfortable place to set foot or take root.

For the paintings, I apply paint in layers, burnishing the canvas between each color, thus changing its character. This technique brings attention to the tactile surface of oil paint on the linen support, and emphasizes the human touch with which these works were formed. The qualities imbued in the printed works on aluminum and the computer generated sculptures brings the very technology which has altered the Earth over time, into play.

The transference of data to the robotic hand removes the human touch. And the removal of the human touch allows for a connection to the philosophical thought about how identity remains on the manufactured relic.

Although these images and atmospheric transitions are rendered differently in each media, I intend to attract the viewer close to the surface, at which point the viewer's peripheral view is filled by the landscape. This very task provides the viewer the ability to imagine that he or she is inside the vessel. The scale of each work provides an intimate view of the sublime idea of an individual trying to find place and meaning in a measureless universe.

ABOUT LAURA VICTORE
Laura Victore is an MFA Painting graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She was born in NYC and lives in Savannah, GA. Her studio practice involves researching concepts of a future planet Earth and invented reliquaries which have been left behind. She combines images of aerial viewpoints with satellite-type objects to create sculptures, paintings and surrealistic photographs.

As a Teacher Specialist in Visual Arts, for the Savannah Chatham County Public School System, Ms. Victore’s teaching methods and philosophies are well known in Savannah and she is currently working as an arts advocate for young artists. She writes curricula and works to assist art teachers to develop best practices in instruction.

Her paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in Colorado, Michigan, New York, Connecticut, South Carolina and Georgia. She is greatly inspired by the vast landscape and richness of Savannah, a coastal/industrial city. Her paintings narrate a concern for the inhabitants of a landscape rich in history, industry and the ever changing natural beauty of the rivers and marshlands.
