THE MORPHOLOGY OF A GARDEN
IRSINA, ITALY
June 16, 2019
In a square named Carlo Marx, in the village of Irsina, a garden named Gianni Rodari hosts a curious ecology of plants, people and others. The seeds grown in this garden are of a wild sort, they speak “lect” – a language only understood by the locals. This “lect” cannot be written, only spoken or sung. The “lect” changes with each season – over the course of a year, it is totally unrecognizable if one has not (at)tended to the garden.
Over the last years, many of the original keepers of the garden, have passed on to other villages or into other forms and the “lect” is now nearly extinct. There is only one word that remains throughout the ever-changing
lect- p’zz’cantò. An association has been formed to protect this most ancient form of the lect. Each year a human antennae broadcasts the lect in a dance – a pyramid of voices climb the sky and wildly scatter the lect through Irsina. This human antennae roams through the village and some fragments that seem to remain unchanged are sung in the chapels and in the schoolyards. Some say the birds are the true keepers of the “lect”. If you listen closely, you will hear a common affect in the flight patterns of the winged creatures soaring above the garden.

THE INDEPENDENT. RADICAL INTENTION
un progetto di Hou Hanru
cura di Giulia Ferracci
Foyer Guido Reni
13 aprile 2017 – 23 luglio 2017
MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo
Via Guido Reni 4A – Roma
Al Museo MAXXI Maria Pecchioli con Radical Intention presenta un progetto sul concetto di auto-narrazione ispirato al Muro della Democrazia, come pratica di protesta e simbolo di lotta per la democrazia e la libertà individuale
Prendendo il Muro della Democrazia (censurato 1978 a Pechino e ripreso nella rivoluzione degli ombrelli di Hong Kong del 2011) come simbolo del proprio sodalizio artistico-curatoriale, Radical Intention utilizza lo spazio del museo come luogo di lavoro per sviluppare e costruire un proprio Dazibao, un giornale murale a grandi caratteri.
La curatrice Aria Spinelli e l’artista Maria Pecchioli, fondatrici del gruppo, trasformano lo spazio in un laboratorio di scambio e riflessione usando slogan, parole chiave e di ispirazione e creando, insieme al pubblico, un processo di work-in-progress per la costruzione di un Dazibao composto di post-it.
Alla fine del progetto Radical Intention lancerà il nuovo sito online in collaborazione con l’artista Nicola Nunziata, e parteciperà come guest-editor alla redazione del prossimo numero di Garibaldi, giornale online del progetto di The Independent, per riflettere sul concetto di Democracy Wall come strumento estetico di denuncia.
