59 Carla Panicali’s Bag
A symbolic object: a “bag”: an allegorical container of ideas and cultural ideas that could hardly contain the intellectual effervescence of Carla Panicali.
58 Il Giardino dell’Anima (The Garden of the Soul)
The first “Garden of the Soul”, a permanent outdoor, green work by Maria Dompè, finds a Roman consecration in the external gardens of GNAM (Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna of Rome).
57 Il Giardino di Irene Brin
Un invito raccolto dall'artista Maria Dompè, a trasformare uno spazio inaccessibile, già coltivazione di palme, in un sito dedicato alla fruizione della cultura del verde.
56 Japan Courage
In a controversial and debatable edition of the Art Biennale of Venice, chaotic and consequently at odds with the appreciation of the content, Dompè ensnares and annihilates the visitors with the simple purity of an image.
55 Ioannes Paulus P.P. II
Extraordinary among men, devoted to holiness: Pope John Paul II; a palace of catalyzing architecture:
50 Aung San Suu Kyi
Icon of democracy and peaceful protest. Aung Sang Suu Kyi, held for twelve years as a hostage by the Burmese military, survives like a flower in a winter frost: crushed by violence, but uplifted by the power of ideas.
35 To Gao Xingjian
The idea of transit, the passage of people and of things, is particularly pertinent to the space chosen by Maria Dompè: an abandoned industrial structure which is part of a larger building that is destined to be transformed into a large commercial space.
25 “I am that other who has crossed a country on a gangway that connects two dreams”
For the exhibition 'Lavori in corso (Works in Progress)', organized by the Galleria Comunale di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in the former Peroni beer factory, Maria Dompè created an intensely poetic work.
