SILVIA BELTRAMI
SEQUENZE | SILVIA BELTRAMI
HABITA 79 MGALLERY | POMPEII
10 DECEMBER 2024 - 1 MARCH 2025
HABITA79 MGallery Pompeii concludes the 2024 season with the solo exhibition "Sequenze" by Silvia Beltrami.
The project is directed towards a material study characterized by the fresco tearing technique, a procedure by which a fresco is taken away from its original wall, by removing the pictorial part and the surface plaster and then transferred onto a new support (calicot method from the name of the thin canvas also called "grandmother's rag" which is used to remove the fresco) where the artist subsequently intervenes by applying fragments of coated paper.
Sequenze draws inspiration from the current events of our times which, mediated by the mass media, become propaganda, not allowing space for free thought and therefore feeding homogenisation. These works reproduce reality using fragments of reality, interpreting new infinite lives through them, where each fragment has its own history and the more they are, the more they overlap with each other and the more they lose their original identity, quoting the movie by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert “Everything everywhere all at once”.
Silvia Beltrami always places the figure as a point of reference, expressing in this way a poetics whose fulcrum is humanity, a humanity constantly running away from itself and from the others. The exhibition creates a dialogue between collage and fresco, between reality and historical knowledge, between the weight of the past and the fragmentation of the present. The selected works lead us to think about the structure of our collective transitive memory, a legacy of the heritage of Italian art. Silvia Beltrami decontextualizes the fresco and reinterprets it through her artistic research.
“… The fresco, the lime mural painting on just applied and therefore still damp plaster, that is in the true sense of the word “fresco”, more than merely a painting technique, it is almost an Italian brand. …”
Arnold Nesselrath.

IVenus in Furs (1870) the novel by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, remains a renowned book in the collective memory: Severin, a simple man, tells his absolute devotion for Wanda, a woman that he identifies as Venus, the goddess of love. In Severin's room, a painting dominates the setting, he said the artwork was inspired by Tiziano’s Venus in the mirror, which depicts a northern Venus wearing only a fur coat: she is the incarnation of the perfect woman according to his fantasies. But the protagonist rebels and emancipates herself from the ideal she is associated to by taking her fur off, the same fur that imprisoned her in a role.>
Venus in Furs is the final affirmation both of the desire of self expression and of the creative instinct conceived as a generating force on a deeper level.>
The collective exhibition "Venus in Furs" brings together a group of artists who have decided to express their creativity and their artworks projecting them as a life driven energy, the famous Eros described by Freud, named from the Greek god of love. Each artist dialogs returning a large fresco where different areas of research investigate the contemporary fabric of existence using different mediums.>
We talk about the theme of memory and the perception of time, memories from the past, the unconscious and its unexplored places, crossing the female body that appears sinuous and fluctuating like a veil or a sculpture. The woman and her nowadays representation is examined while living her classic role of angel of the hearth. The female image is painted while she is locked up in suffocating domestic settings permeated with inflorescences or while dealing with common chores. The displayed artworks are also linked to current events, to their social issues that involve anti- speciesism and the female world, outlining painful paths that lead to rebirth and self-discovery. Art has the social value of bringing people together, of unity, art acts like a collective ritual where the Greek principle of kalocagathia reigns, in this world beauty is goodness.>
The collective exhibition “Venus in Furs” was possible thanks to the commitment of Loredana Galante, Marta Mez and Antonella Casazza, who created a committee that coordinated and fulfilled the project.

LOST IN TRANSLATION | SILVIA BELTRAMI
3 DECEMBER 2022 / 7 JANUARY 2023
Curated by Giorgio Bonomi and Federica Picco
“Lost in Translation” is the first solo exhibit by artist Silvia Beltrami at Gare 82. The exhibition, curated by Giorgio Bonomi and Federica Picco, presents unpublished works and less recent works illustrating the research that the artist has been pursuing consistently for a long time: an accurate study aimed at the postmodern condition that has its roots in the thought of Zygmunt Bauman and that reaches Jacques Derrida’s theories about deconstruction which Beltrami appropriates by translating them into tools used to investigate human identity.
Her works are fragmented, decomposed realities–deconstructed, in fact–and then recovered through the masterful use of the collage technique. Representations that reveal the artist’s precise will to express movement in its various forms up to the convulsive one of the “vortex” which, in her works, takes on profound formal and conceptual meanings that reflect on the loneliness of an individual, dragged and isolated in a swirling solitude.
Silvia Beltrami was born in Rome in 1974. She obtained her artistic diploma in Lovere (Bergamo) and then graduating from the Brera Academy in Milan.
The exhibition is illustrated in a catalogue with critical texts by Giorgio Bonomi and Federica Picco, with a biography of the artist by Paolo Bolpagni.

The Flâneurs and navigators exhibition intends to offer an opportunity to slow down and enter the creative process of four artists very different from each other but whose reflections clearly converge towards the post-modern condition and whose techniques, which move in the field of figuration, require executions with precise times.(By google translate)

La mostra collettiva Wunderkammer vuole essere per noi un evento di fine anno dove la nostra esperienza progettuale decennale nel mondo dell’arte contemporanea e della cultura si esprime nell’unire artisti nazionali ed internazionali in una sorta di camera delle meraviglie.
Allo stesso tempo la Wunderkammer descrive al meglio l’attenzione e la devozione che abbiamo prestato nell’anno intercorso sul territorio con grandi sforzi e sacrifici per dare visibilità ad un ruolo, quello dell’artista contemporaneo, che in un momento storico come questo sembra essere svanito nel nulla…. VOGLIAMO ricordare che senza l’arte contemporanea non ci sarà futuro: l’arte contemporanea stimola il pensiero, la curiosità e l’immaginazione… tre elementi fondamentali per lo sviluppo di questa e delle future generazioni…. ed è questo il nostro intento.
La Wunderkammer è soprattutto una festa dedicata a noi stessi, agli artisti presenti e coloro che parteciperanno all’evento!

Love+Care
The epidemic that began at the end of 2019 has sealed each individual in an independent space, while at the same time being engulfed in a closely related human community.
This is an era full of various uncertainties and possibilities.
Questions about oneself, the space and the world are endless, and the meaning of existence and unbounded love emerge surgingly. We need paper art more than ever. As an outlet for expression and writing, it comes from life and is a daily poetry regained in the world's great torrent, and it shows a great love that connects everyone while brings hope to each other.
In this biennale, a various thoughts of artists around world will be presented, concerning the epidemic, nature, live, promising hope and the great love.
The paper that has always written history will continue to write in the form of contemporary art at this moment, taking the real-time picture of epidemics and the river of consciousness.
At the same time, we are able to swim through the cold winter and head towards the next spring, along with the soft yet tough power of paper.
