Edition of international Conference on
Archaeology and
Anthropology
In these years our society tries to carry on a new point of view to
develop an interaction between contemporaneity and antiquities,
archaeology with contemporary art to show that man is always
the same, Homo sapiens, his brain has not changed since the
beginning of Upper Pal eolithic and reacts in the same way to the
problems the environment induces, often elaborating the same
solutions or the same expressions. According to this aim we are
introducing several initiatives together somemuseum institutions
including a series of art exhibitions and conferences about
relationship between topics of the museums and the point of
view of an artist about these. Thus we started with an exhibition
made in 2018 at MAEC – Archaeological Museum in Cortona and
in MANN –Archaeological Museum of Naples, of a photographer,
Aldo Palazzolo from Sicily, and which is considered by the critics
one of the most important portraitist in contemporary author-
photography, using his works in relationship with the content of
the museums with: some portraits overlapping ancient statuary,
a work concerning light in marble sculptures, furthermore some
composed traces of Egyptian culture, in a continuous reference to
the forms of antiquity.
And nextly in MANN: -another exhibition of an American
photographer, Susannah Hays, Prof. in Fine Arts at University
of Georgia, whose work is focused on objects and their cultural
meanings, or degrading landscapes like indifferent archaeological
layers. A conference about Domenico Cimarosa, the famous
18th cent. Neapolitan opera composer, carried out by dr. Simone
Perugini (DAMS University of Florence) with the participation
of M.° Riccardo Muti. A commemoration of the famous Naples
journalist Luigi Necco, very famous in Italy for his works in RaiTv,
who produced archaeological documentaries about Pompei, Near
East, mostly on Mesopotamia and Egypt which we’ll present in
MANN on June 2019.
