Contemporary Artists in Chianti Classico
International artists feature their works in the finest wineries of the region, in response to the unique character of historical venues. The treasure hunt is an experience oscillating between the old and the new – its participants contemplate contemporary art in the shadow of ancient cellars while savouring new oil and tasting aging wine.
This year the creators of the project offer not only an insightful interpretation of the local but also an invitation to join them onto a journey through continents spanning Asia, Europe and both Americas. While traveling across Tuscany, relishing its aromas, colours and scents, their guests discover the potential of the place, the famous genius loci but also explore the distant, the global by following the stories told by works created in 10 different countries. Immersed in here and now, we need to stay conscious about reality brought to us by artists from around the world.
Kasia Redzisz
Curator
My grandfather Pablo Picasso is the one who most expressed his talent from one work to the next, always inspired by what surrounded him. From one artistic period to the next, he testified of his personal life but also of his political commitments.
When I pass from a portrait of my grandmother Marie-Thérèse to one of his ceramics or sculptures, I travel in his mind and guess each time a moment of happiness that it is that of the man or the artist he was. When it comes to an engraving, I understand the difference between talent and genius. It is at this moment I recognize that there will always remain a part of mystery. A woman who had met Pablo told me once : “his eyes pierced me”. Pablo Picasso knew how to see through reality to show us the truth. And I can not!
Olivier Picasso
Art of the Treasure Hunt 2017 invites you to traverse the world by looking at the works of artists as they express their vision and their pain. Twenty three artists from eleven countries come together in Tuscany, home of Dante Alighieri where incredible beauty and tales of battles and strife bred history.
I thank the artists without whom there is no life. A heartfelt thank you to Bruno Bralfperr, whom I met in 2011 when he was 21yrs, and had just graduated from Institute Criar, an NGO founded by Luciano Hulk, Rio Brazil for media studies for young people of limited means. Seven years later Bruno exhibits his photographs “Lisbon dreams” in Castello di Volpaia and he made the wonderful videos for us.
I thank Stanley Buchthal, Najwa Najjar and Olivier Picasso for allowing us to show their amazing films at Borgo San Felice this summer. We will always have a voice and we will always be heard. Because there will always be artists.
