A new art exhibit...Luca Bolognesi
Tonight we were invited to a preview of a new exhibit in the Anna Mahler Space. "Spoleto and Mahler have been inextricably entwined since the sculptress Anna Mahler, the composer Gustav's daughter, made her home here in 1968. Now Marina Mahler (who we met tonight and discussed children going off to college and the great weather in California...she grew up in Los Angeles), daughter of the conductor Anatole Fistoulari and grand-daughter of the composer, has continued that association by making it her main home and by her imaginatively subtle transformation of one of the town's most vibrantly beautiful homes (a small palazzo dating back to the 14th-century) into an oasis of deep calm amidst Spoleto's bustle."
Luca Bolognesi's premiere exhibit of "An Island", his 26 minute video documentary of a small uninhabited island, had a variety of impacts on each member of our group. I found it to be mesmerizing and I walked away still thinking about it. What we all agreed was how wonderful it was to be in the company of the artist (photographed with Steve), Marina (the petite woman in the middle of the second photo) and fellow Spoletini who came to see new art and old friends.
