The Camorra becomes Art<\/h1>\n

Curated by Antonio Manfredi<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 June\/20 July 2008
\n<\/strong>Opening Friday, June the 20th at 7.00 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFires set for unpaid protection money are no longer sufficient, rubbish is not enough, we do not want only the pictures of people shot dead during punishment ambushes\u2026we, the art folk, long for more. We want to wake up people consciousness through unreal images and by recording actions and behaviours that are as much usual in our territory as to undertake universal value. Abuse on weak people, social and political relationships denoting the imposition by criminal entity, control on life, on movement and on individual freedom from a creature which jaws look impossible to escape: this and much more is CAMORRA.
\nWho can better than 17 Neapolitan artists express on this topic?
\nAnd, who can better than a border museum \u2013 as CAM \u2013 arrange an exhibition on the social connotations of the criminal bloodsucker gripping men?
\nThe exhibition CAMORRA raised from the considerations by Antonio Manfredi \u2013 exhibition curator and director of CAM \u2013 and from fearing that impotence is able to take the upper hand. For a concretely efficacious art, born from Evil but detaching itself from it \u2013 June the 20th at 7.00pm until July the 20th at CAM in Casoria.
\nThe exhibited works will be the oneiric or ironic visions of people experiencing on their own skin restrictions and consequences of a mental status which slips into social behaviour. How could you not think to the rubbish flood Naples is in since months by looking at the redeeming Virgin standing out of the coloured and stinking heaps in the provoking work Nostra signora della monnezza (Our Lady of Rubbish)? Or, how could you not smile before the statue of Padre Pio at the top of a mount of tires looking like he is trying to protect them from fire-raiser vandals? The artistic perspectives are dialoguing and confronting each other in an exhibition aiming to witness the degrading background surrounding us, those buildings, jails for the soul, in which tragedies take place and where the secrets of a persecution enduring in the human history are whispered in the dark. A wall oppresses and occludes the vitality of the mountain which serves as oleographic background to the lack of development and growth of never-been-children boys, forced to live according to deviated models or in sick environments. Though the Feroce felino (Wild feline), devouring everything, keeps respect for the class by means of an ancient religion symbolized by an hybrid being and from mysterious signs of relationships of strength and imposition. Twisting figures, as images reflected into the mirrors of consciousness, appear as oneiric visions. An institutionalized robbery \u2013 as the one in Cassa del Mezzogiorno (Midday\/Southern Italy Coffin) \u2013 becomes a modern coffin in a gloomy work exposed on occasion of the exhibition. The Candore dell\u2019innocenza (Purity of Innocence) of a prisoner overturns in the shoes of the persecutor, while the ones knowing the reality fear it and cover their eyes with their hands left still instead than acting.
\nOn occasion of the opening, artistic actions will take place meanwhile words of journalists committed to the topic will slide on the several screens as they turned to creative writers for this occasion.<\/p>\n
