The Green Room which so captivated the local population last year during the Barga Jazz Festival – more than 700 portraits (all images can be seen here) were taken by the two photographers, Caterina Salvi and Keane using the lighting project designed by Marco Poma, has recently been on the move.
Caterina and Keane set up their equipment inside the Museo Diocesano in Milano as part of the “Slow Art performance – Arte della gente e dei luoghi” and for a brief couple of hours documented the visitors to the exhibition.
The Diocesan Museum is located in the setting of the cloisters of Sant’Eustorgio, integral part of one of the most antique monumental complexes of Milan, built from the joined units of the basilica and the Dominican convent, a thriving centre in the course of the centuries in an important area for the history of Milanese Christianity.
The “Slow Art performance – Arte della gente e dei luoghi included work by nine artists based in Barga – Marco Poma, Chris Bell, Keane, Alba Calamari, Nazareno Giusti, Tony Philips, Mario Riccardi, Sandra Rigali and Caterina Salvi.
Franco Migliaccio (in Italiano) with his definition of Slow Art -the concept that he is eloquently promoting with a firm basis on site specific art and a refusal to accept mass produced design orientated by price.
The Green Room will be open once again at the Villa Libano during the Barga Jazz Festival – Enojazz after hours sessions from 17th to the 30th August. If you want to take part in this project and be photographed in the room then please come along.
