7 stanzas for 7 songs by the artistic couple Alberto Sighele and Roza Yurchenko were revealed on Saturday 12 September 2020 at the Kunst Grenzen-Border Art room on the occasion of the evening DA 1 A 6 DIMMI: CHI SEI? (FROM 1 TO 6 TELL ME: WHO ARE YOU?)
The poetic theatrical performance of the famous couple Sighele – Yurchenko wanted to tell in an original way the heart of the works of art that make a fine show of themselves in the private gallery of the artist Gentile Polo for the international event of modern and contemporary art “Grenzen” (from 5 to 26 September).
Professor of English, Alberto Sighele is part of the cultural group Poesia 83 and has numerous poetic collections to his credit as well as a propeller of visual poetry or phonetic painting, where art and words overlap and merge in an original union.
“I feel a bit dada and modern, but at the same time I look back at the deep origins of language, when it was simple sound and first drawing” (Alberto Sighele)
Alberto Sighele’s art finds its roots in the Lettrism movement, founded in 1946 in Paris by the Romanian Isidoro Isou: painting originates from the outline of letters like poetry from sounds.
Thus, the artist Alberto Sighele presents himself at the group exhibition “Grenzen” with the work The firework does everything and, inspired by the artistic environment full of stimuli and entitled Grenzen (borders), he proposes himself to the lights of the limelight with the last of his literary works “Tu sei tutto, fino al settimo cielo” (You are everything, up to seventh heaven) for the evening event of 12 September DA 1 A 6 DIMMI: CHI SEI? (FROM 1 TO 6 TELL ME: WHO ARE YOU?).
“Tu sei tutto, fino al settimo cielo” (You are everything, up to seventh heaven) is a slender poem of seven songs, each of seven stanzas consisting of seven lines with seven accents.
“… a spiral journey, oscillating between one thing and its opposite but this ascent is wonderful in which you know where you are going and there is always a surprise, because you are open, open, and I Alberto and you are discovered. ” (from “You are everything up to seventh heaven” by Alberto Sighele)
An introduction to make your head spin, just like the firework of his phonetic painting, but unrolling are the verses that in the two-part interpretation involve the spectators going to touch the soul of the works of art exhibited by the 34 artists of “Grenzen” (Boundaries).
The male interpreter’s emotion was great, Yurchenko’s recitative was vibrant, both were able to guide the viewer’s eye and thought, through a two-voice dialogue, along the entire exhibition path of the Gallery until the final applause.
Special thanks:
