Meredith Peters at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Capua

The praise of curiosity

This exhibition is not entitled The ola "an American at Caserta. The American artist Meredith Peters after birth, and studies in S Tates, and after a run professional as head of the indexation of the documents of the United Nations in Geneva, has actually decided to land in Caserta at the end of last year, but the works on show were all or almost all prior to his arrival in the shadow of Reggia.

This shows called "The praise of curiosity" because of a genuine curiosity about the world and unbridgeable are woven cloths of Peters in the nucleus of each work is evident the desire for knowledge and understanding of reality depicted.

Curiosity is the engine of knowledge, the other saying, basically, you going to seek it, driven by a desire, like Dante's Ulysses, which, at last to Ithaca, decides to get back on the road to satisfy his desire for knowledge dissatisfaction.

Living with curiosity almost complete, have an interest for almost all occasions of human life and for our whole planet, it is essential to transform a spring in observe the physiological act of see.

Plug everything in sight, indeed observed, its spirit, its own vision of the world, an inner segment of cosmology is a work flow that accompanies those who manage to set themselves questions, not trivial, but the unsatisfactory answers to his own opinion.

This is precisely the method of Meredith Peters: doubt watch and observe and analyze, in the real world to find a piece of herself and then represent it. Painting becomes shaping dialogue (which sometimes turns into altercation) between objective observation and intimate insights and intellectuals, the canvas becomes the place precarious balance between knowledge and introspection.

The daily reality of all kinds - from New York to that of ' Latin America, up to the African - is always the cause of the work, yet this is cloaked in an aura of mysterious, allusive, sometimes even over the top, which becomes almost magnetic to the observer. It seems to grasp at times - and only a watermark - the stream of consciousness that brings the artist from initial idea to final realization.

short to the phenomenal world observed closely overlaps, tonal the desire to depict the momentum of communication, as a filter expression, which transforms the innocent (and sometimes even romantic modern) views into backgrounds dense and opaque, hard and scary, current and contemporary scenes lose all sense of time, leaving the continuum chronological and crystallize, real estate, indefinite and indefinable.

There is often an observer in the works, third watching, sometimes with the artist, sometimes in a different direction, in a sort of visual triangulation , which serves to identify more precisely the coordinates, spatial and intellectual, geographical and spiritual, of the idea represented.

Two elements form the basis of art second Nietzsche: a realistic and a great unreality, and Peters continuously seeks a summary of this commuter route using the brush on the canvas its use as a divining rod, the seeker is convinced that it is to push the bar, Meredith Peters knows that is his inner being, not only unconscious, pushing his wand-brush.

Farm Selvanova

Farm Selvanova: Caiazzo called Taurasi

The directions are not "second star to the right" as Jackson sang, yet the Fattoria Selvanova is how to get to the island that there 'is. We are, incredibly enough, in our province of Caserta, torn and chaotic, but only see the hill vineyards, cypress trees, houses ordered, a landscape that leads us to think of the sweet green Tuscany or Umbria. Sure Castel Campagnano and Caiazzo (like other corners of the High Caserta) are recognized as an oasis of tranquility and well-being, but the effect of having traveled in time, overlooking the valley is understandable.

The company accepts that there is an organic farm of 50 hectares of which 15 are under vine, is a nice farm house is a very popular educational farm, which almost ten years has hosted crowds of school children of southern Lazio and Campania, led to the discovery here of the peasant and environmental values, in a tour of vineyards and olive groves, wine and oil production, including grazing and farming. In addition, the company owner, Anthony Good, decided to get involved in projects to protect the landscape and the training of local people for promoting social and economic development, establishing "Selvanova for social", an association soon became the foundation, which aims at safeguarding the environment.
Selvanova, however, is mainly a company that produces wine and get with these critical and commercial successes: they are wines on the ground that there has led the delegation members and friends of the FISAR Caserta (Italian Sommelier Association of Hoteliers and Restaurateurs) .
The group, led by the enthusiastic Iacone Carlo, played a full tour - accompanied by Royal Gennaro (winemaker of the company along with Guido Busatto) - from vineyard to cellar, from the cellar to the tasting room where they tasted wines available today.
Aglianico, the most famous vineyards of Campania, at the base of many regional wines, such as Taurasi or Falerno, has become the main pivot for the production of red wines: this vine, old, originally from Greece (hence the name), has, by Riccardo Cotarella (one of the world's largest wine makers), the particular "leave the land where it is cultivated understanding, being a wine of strong character who knows how to adapt to the circumstances" and "together with the Nero d'Avola (vine Sicilian) and Barbera (Piedmont) is that the list of varieties more typical of Italy. " And it is precisely these characteristics that the idea takes root an Aglianico Caiatine done with great care and attention of Irpinia, not to emulate a technical discipline, but to highlight a different landscape, to ennoble a terroir.

The gamble paid off: the first harvest of 2003 were followed for three red, Vignantica, silicate (also made with 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon) and Selvanova awards of more guides Italian and international, this year's Gambero Rosso synthesizes the company does not miss a shot of Anthony Buono, whose decision to focus sull'Aglianico in Caiatine is rewarded by a set of labels very valuable for their integrity and definition tannic "until the last award last week at the London Wine Fair 2010 where the Vigna del Sasso 2007 (named for the British market of Vignantica) has won a bronze medal.
island that there is, indeed, that we can not seem to be, but fortunately there is, they produce a aglianico, even three wines from that grape, powerful but elegant, treated but not coy, but not typical provincial.

Cesare Accetta Capodimonte

Cesare Accetta "03-010"

Few images, but many radiographed and almost instant stop, this could be the label Cesare Accetta "03-010" (Museo di Capodimonte, until November 14, 2010 every day from 14.00 to 19.30 hours; closed Wednesdays). The Neapolitan photographer during his career has gone from theatrical photography backstage , and signed the lights of theater performances and installations (such as Quijote Mimmo Paladino) , photography and film auteur ( The rest of anything , Winter , no quality to the heroes ) .

Title of staff, mysterious-looking, even encrypted, simply refers to the period of commencement and completion of the works on display. This opens with a triptych at the front entrance, transforming the simple act almost dell'accedere in an initiatory path, where you can see a figure, but it ignores - at that time - the total value.

Three photographs, therefore, to immerse ourselves in a different atmosphere, marked by tenacious forms thin and a few colors. Three images in which the figure of a woman - naked, perhaps - emerges from the shadows, unable to overcome it completely, but that stands out and attracts attention of the observer. Even when, in the third frame, the representation is reduced to three synthetic yellow trails. Three paintings (and also central to some sort of affinity speculate) that have a few tens of meters of the original sound that is refined echo, evoked in many small signs, such as the imposing size of the paintings and gilded frame : the art of Michelangelo Merisi condensed in the Naples Flagellation. And in fact this darkness that still traps the figure of a woman is not light Caravaggio, an instrument of affirmation of the figure, which still struggles to defeat the terrifying darkness.

In the second room of this exhibition is realized in a composition of five of the smaller pages. What was dark in the first set here becomes a luminous backdrop of warm colors, the sequence is similarly expanded in time, the individual frame (the image does not just tell a moment, he tells different ) and the altarpiece as a whole. Indeed here the exhaust them chronologically, first characterized by distant figures, it becomes iteration of signs, pendular movement between the first and the last image, dream-like analysis, but much more focused on the person photographed. See again and the quintet is crystallized a sense of being masters of the time, you can choose your own speed, each viewer has its own rhythm, as in Promenades of Paintings an exhibition, Mussorgsky: there is a right Allegro a Moderate very comfortable, a Moderate not so much, and even a Quiet.

at the end of the exhibition is that all the feelings find their own interpretations. Again, three images, this time perfectly defined, of impeccable formal rigor and refined calibration of the elements, projected side by side, in a nearly three-tone black and white, abstracting. The woman - the actress Alessandra D'Elia, muse and an accomplice to accept - is apparently still, sphinx disturbing. Tiny facial movements, subtle breaths through your hair, mixing of frame like a game of three tablets, camera moves forward or backwards, all in a chronological spiral which can not be viewed beginning or end , nor the performance. A loop incomprehensible and without any point of time reference. As in listening to Vexations by Erik Satie, a song composed by themselves thirty-five jokes to be repeated 840 times for a total duration indefinite.

Own Time is therefore an illusion. You are not masters of the time, is totally deprived of his perception, and this is the real terror of modernity. It's no longer instill fear in the darkness of space, as in the days of Caravaggio or the silence that terrified us in the last century, as it has in many ways Antonioni explained, in the twenty-first century is the lack of time references, the dark chronological that annihilates us.

This demonstrates Cesare Accetta and Alessandra D'Elia.

Villa Matilde project "Emissions 0"

respectfully Drink (environment)

Drink a glass of good wine all seems a kind of symbiosis with nature and the environment. Gustiamo happily the result of fermentation

alcoholic grape must, in many religions the result of a divine gift, but in our sweet taste we are not aware that, unfortunately, modern wine making a devourer of energy and water.

Instead they were well aware, junction couple of years ago, Salvatore and Maria Ida Avallone, owners of the winery of Villa Matilde Cellole which, with over forty years, one of two that have helped to reaffirm, after two millennia, in which the mythical bontdel Falerno, to get to the wine celebrated by Horace and appreciated all over the Latin world in 1989 Denomination of Origin.

The company most decorated the province of Caserta from wine guides, getting constantly and fifteen years of excellence awards. Also this year The Gambero Rosso guide, paid tribute T king glasses Falerno to the White Massico Vigna Caracci 2008 a cru special pride in the traditional enterprise, along with Vigna Camaro. This year, finally, came the S tella Gambero Rosso for the tenth highest mark .

Zero Emissions the final result Avallone to which the brothers have directed new investments and important organizational efforts: ? 'love for land, protect it and preserve it volontdi led us to reassess the company in its entirety, from the standpoint of in Avallone Salvatore sostenibilitambientalecosesordisce press conference to present the second phase of the project. ? e have considered every step of the process, - said the owner - and we intervened in the country, eliminating pesticides, using tractors to biodiesel (the second generation of crops that are not impacting on food production cereals) and with special wheels, basement, on stages, on and machinery on construction, saving and reusing water, and even distribution, reducing the weight of 100 grams of the bottle so as to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases in transport

So, in 2009, International Year of Planet Earth , had presented the guidelines of the project and the first steps marted5 holders and the group of professionals in charge explained the additional works, the engineering re Illuminated Bonsignore, Giovanni Domenico Trisciuoglio and Perillo. The latter addressed the analytical phase as regards consumption and evaluation of any waste (those, of course, those of inefficient thermal insulation of electric cables), realizing that is what in slang is called energy audit. Engineer Perillo, Project Manager the project, explained the project to other tools to get the desired level 0 Emissions as the use of biomass boilers, the use of electric vehicles with recharging stations for solar energy, the optimization of consumption, saving and water reuse, maintenance and the continuous planting of tree heritage.

The highlight of the project, explained Eng. Bonsignore, the installation of a photovoltaic production of electricity from solar, for totally all ? utoconsumo. The I Installations only installed on the roofs of the complex of Cellole fit for purpose, of a fully integrated in compliance with environmental laws and landscape, and reaches a total capacity of 76.28 kWp thanks the I NSTALLING 339 panels photovoltaic (which are assembled in seven sottoimpianti to reduce the risks associated with possible periods of downtime ) ensure that in thirty years the average production of 100,000 kWh / year , ensuring no air emissions in more than 70 tons / year of carbon dioxide (CO quantitdi ₂ absorbed in one year from approximately 110 trees). The designer, animated spirit of the environment, illustrated the catastrophic prospects that the Earth would face without a second thought on land use and energy production, called for a future low carbon , but also, pragmatically, illustrated the economic benefits, including incentives and savings involves the conversion efficiency.

Other companies, and many cellars , have launched projects to upgrade and optimization of energy consumption (and indeed, worldwide, in 2009 the new installations of renewable energy have almost equaled those of energy from fossil fuels), but Villa Matilde has addressed the problem in the round with an integrated and forward looking.

So we can drink a good bottle, ; Falerno obviously with some care less and without sacrificing the quality that we appreciated.
