Tuscany – Emanuele Becheri and Riccardo Benassi at Castello Malaspina

July 1~2010

The project Castello in Movimento was born with the aim of transforming the Castello Malaspina di Fosdinovo, a Tuscan Fourteenth century fortress, in a place of meeting and production for artists of various disciplines. This time the chosen artists are Emanuele Becheri and Riccado Benassi. The first, between June 19 and June 27, 2010, realized two works titled Impressione#8 (above) and Impressione#9, that will remain in the fortress of the castle alongside Flavio Favelli’s installation realized for the last edition. The exhibition also presents collective prearrangement, variable countdown, a temporary installation by Riccardo Benassi which occupies various areas of the castle with an elusive approach to the space.
