The "Raggi e ArchiTetture - Ville di Lignano" Association recently organized an extraordinary private event at Casa Christoff, one of Lignano’s historic villas, in collaboration with Casa Cavazzini – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Udine. This meeting represented a unique opportunity to bring the public closer to contemporary art through the presence of artists involved in the current and previous editions of the "CONTRAPPUNTO" project, exhibited at the Udine museum.
The starting point for this event was a visit organized by the association in February to the Gino Valle exhibition, which was met with significant public success. On this occasion, artists Matteo Attruia, Loretta Cappanera, Alfonso Firmani, and Anna Pontel shared their reflections on contemporary art, offering an exclusive look into the creative process and interpretation of their works.
Matteo Attruia, a conceptual artist from Sacile, explored the boundary between question and answer, using media such as neon, photography, and sculpture. His work focuses on the idea of a journey without a safe destination, inviting the audience to reflect alongside him. Loretta Cappanera brought to life her passion for the Artist’s Book, an expressive form she has deepened over the years. Her skill in engraving and use of diverse materials, from wood to fabric, create works that blend tradition and innovation.
Alfonso Firmani presented his works as "narrative containers," where objects and images tell stories within a theatrical framework. His ability to mix different artistic languages deeply engaged the audience in reflecting on visual narratives. Finally, Anna Pontel shared her research on the body and its absence, addressing the concept of the artwork as a shell – a poetic vision playing with emptiness and lightness.
The artists were accompanied by independent curator Francesca Agostinelli and Vania Gransinigh, head of Casa Cavazzini. They enriched the meeting with their expertise, providing a deep critical context to the artistic themes discussed. Their interactions turned the event into not just a presentation of works but a true dialogue between artists and the audience, creating a stimulating and reflective atmosphere.
This event demonstrated how contemporary art can bring people together, fostering connections and sparking debates. The synergy between the "Raggi e ArchiTetture" Association and Casa Cavazzini created a valuable cultural experience, contributing to the promotion of the region's artistic heritage and encouraging greater awareness and interest in art.
