FIRENZE PREZIOSA 2011
The 2011 edition presents a retrospective exhibition dedicated to Mari Ishikawa, and the side exhibition PREZIOSA YOUNG 2011. The two section of PREZIOSA 2011 will be housed in the "Tribune Galileo" at the Museum of “La Specola”, in Florence. - Monologue. Parellel worlds of Mari Ishikawa, curated by Maria Cristina Bergesio. The work of Mari Ishikawa expresses a deep fascination with the natural world. With a look full of charm, the artist observes nature and manages to infuse the magic in her photographs and her jewellery, as Moon Light Shadow, In The Shadow Of A Tree, Clouds. The natural spectacle is experienced in its most intimate and small ravines, in the form of branches, the tangle of a shoot, the emergence of a delicate inflorescence. In her works throughout the poem takes the form of a feeling of nature as a living entity, palpitating, perpetual, and in her cycle of birth, growth, development. - PREZIOSA YOUNG 2011 PY is a international competition/exhibition dedicated to young designers chosen for their individual research and the originality of their creations. This project was conceived and coordinated by Giò Carbone, Director of "Le Arti Orafe”, since 1985 Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence. For the 2011’s edition, the Art historian Dr. Maria Cristina Bergesio was called to give a critical contribution for the catalogue and to be responsible for the selection of the participants.
