Go Find It is a blog about street art among other things, all right, but I’d like to step forward… The topic is captivating: is it possible to speak about architecture as a form of art? Man has always had the need to express himself through signs and lines, i.e. art, even since prehistory. This discipline has been cultivated through the centuries and it has evolved in many forms. The most practical form of art, i.e. architecture, draws its origin from the need to defend man from nature, and along the years its role has become that of shaping what is around him.

So I would like to recommend to you the first exhibition of the art show of light forms/and urban visions created by Daniela Pastore and promoted by the Studio of Contemporary Architecture, in collaboration with the Celebration of Architecture “Festa dell’ Architettura”, curated by Camilla Boemio. “Cities – places visionaries” confronts the theme of Architecture to the polyhedral panorama of international cities- emotional foreshortenings, planning. It’s about rediscovering the city as if it was an absolute protagonist: unpublished views are continually in fermentation: change and metamorphasing structures are considered in the concept of “no space”.

A travel in the contemplation and the city exploration.

A participating collective of some of the most famous European photographers have dedicated their own artistic search to the industrial landscape and the city areas: Gabriel Basilico, Marco Zanta, Michael Wolf and Peter Schloer.
There is a double level to read the concept: it was analyzed as well using the video art by two of the most interesting international video artists of the last years. They have reinterpreted the topic of the city architectures: Shaun Gladwell with “In a station of a Metro” (2006) and Damir Ocko with “The end of the World” (2007) (with Dmitry Gutov).

Collaborating galleries include: Bugno Art Gallery – Venice, Zonca & Zonca – Milan, Studio La Città – Verona, Nina Lumer – Milan, Gallery Tiziana di Caro, Salerno – Bernhard Knaus Fine Art, Frankfurt.
