miart 2019
abbi cara ogni cosa*

L’arte posa sulla realtà uno sguardo che è tanto una forma di attenzione quanto un invito all’attenzione: l’arte, infatti, non esplora solo gli aspetti più estremi della vita ma anche quelli all’apparenza meno rilevanti, trasformando ciò che appare insignificante in un simbolo potente dell’esistenza umana.

Lo sguardo dell’arte getta una luce di attenzione sulle cose e, così facendo, genera valori che la storia, il collezionismo e i musei decidono di custodire, con un gesto di cura.

Adottando come formula per l’edizione del 2019 il verso “abbi cara ogni cosa”, miart porge al suo pubblico l’invito a fare proprio il gesto di attenzione con cui l’arte custodisce la realtà nel momento in cui la trasforma.

*dal poema “Hold Everything Dear” di Gareth Evans
