“缺失的物质” 艺术装置

Edoardo Tresoldi是项目"缺失的物质"项目的设计师。2017年，福布斯将他评为30岁以下最具影响力的欧洲艺术家之一。在重建获得意大利建筑金奖的早期基督教大教堂Siponto、在美国为科切拉谷音乐艺术节和歌剧创作的大型装置作品Etherea、在雷焦卡拉布里亚的海滨作品之后，他正在拉文纳展出Sacral。该作品最初是在2016年创作的，并在这里设置了这个场合。Edoardo Tresoldi被展览的当代艺术部分的策展人Giorgia Salerno选中，代表灵魂的主题，用一个大型装置对但丁的大灵魂城堡进行理想的重新诠释，让参观者有一个极富想象力的体验，并与周围的景观充分互动。

Tresoldi is the artist of “Absent Matter” and cathedrals in wire mesh. In 2017 Forbes named him one of the most influential European artists aged under 30. After his reconstruction of the early-Christian Basilica of Siponto, which won the Gold Medal for Italian Architecture, the large installation Etherea in the US for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Opera, his work on the seafront at Reggio Calabria, he is exhibiting Sacral in Ravenna. The work was originally created in 2016 and has been set up here for the occasion. Edoardo Tresoldi was chosen by Giorgia Salerno, curator of the contemporary art section of the exhibition, to represent the theme of Souls and to create an ideal reinterpretation of the Dante’s Castle of the Great Souls with a major installation that allows visitors to have an extremely imaginative experience and to fully interact with the surrounding landscape.

但丁在《地狱》第四节中所说的贵族城堡，是一个象征性的地方，居住着那些在地球上留下荣誉和名声的人的灵魂。他们是古代的伟大灵魂，如哲学家、诗人、科学家和作家一般有着严肃和真挚的眼睛。他们在世俗生活中因其道德品质而伟大，但因缺乏神学美德而注定要遭受永恒的痛苦。

The Noble Castle, as Dante calls it in Canto IV of the Inferno, is a symbolic place inhabited by the souls of those who left honour and fame behind them on earth. They are the great souls of antiquity – philosophers, poets, scientists and writers – with grave and slow-moving eyes. People who were great in their earthly lives because of their moral qualities, but who are destined to eternal suffering because they lack the theological virtues.

项目被安装在该市艺术博物馆16世纪的回廊里，最初是波尔图的圣玛丽亚修道院，庆祝但丁在《天堂》中提到的希腊圣母，这是他在拉文纳期间完成的颂歌。该作品使参观者能够实际进入代表贵族城堡的作品中，并像在表演中一样，回溯但丁的旅程。

Sacral has been installed in the 16th-century cloister of the city’s Art Museum, originally the canon’s monastery of Santa Maria in Porto, celebrating the Greek Madonna mentioned by Dante in Paradiso, the canticle he completed during his time in Ravenna. The work enables visitors to physically enter the work, representing the Noble Castle and, as if in a performance, to retrace Dante’s journey.

Edoardo Tresoldi说："项目能够在过去和现在之间创造一种对话，使用一种由随时间重复出现的意义组成的语言。在16世纪的MAR回廊中，项目作为我们已经去过的地方的记忆，一个熟悉的图像，将参观者引入但丁的探索。”

“An archetypal image”, Edoardo Tresoldi says, “is capable of creating a dialogue between past and present, using a language comprising of meanings that recur over time. In the 16th-century cloister of the MAR, Sacral acts as the memory of a somewhere we have already been, a familiar image that introduces the visitor to the exploration of Dante”.

展览的当代艺术部分探讨了但丁的各种主题，如灵魂、旅程、妇女、梦想和光，这些主题被选来引导观众参观展览。每个主题都选择了一位或多位艺术家，通过他们的作品重新诠释但丁《神曲》中的人物和地点。通过这种方式，展览是对但丁及其作品的一种真正的艺术体验。

The contemporary art section of the exhibition explores various themes in Dante, such as souls, journeys, women, dreams and light, which have been selected to guide visitors through the exhibition. One or more artists have been chosen for each theme, to reinterpret people and place in Dante’s Divine Comedy through their work. In this way, the exhibition is a truly artistic experience of Dante and his work.
