The exhibition will present a selection of artworks produced by a group of students of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, who participated in a workshop in October 2023 led by Ferraro, in collaboration with artist and professor Cecilia Beaven.</p> <p>Working with illustration for almost thirty years, for a long time Ferraro has been interested in the relationship between <strong>written words and images</strong>, particularly in the context of illustration, where the image retains a functional purpose in relation to writing. From the point of view of the artist, words can also represent inspiration, a starting point where images originate and find their freedom, separating from the text to become something new.</p> <p><em>Poetry is a Place</em> brings together two mediums that represent complementary forms of communication: <strong>poetry and postcards</strong>. Both artistic forms allow us to create images that can potentially connect people and reduce distance. A distance that is not so much physical, as we live in a digital word, but conceptual, cultural and personal. The art created for this project has the potential to represent identities that come into contact, and create new connections and dialogues.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1380 img-fluid" src="https://iicchicago.esteri.it/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Image-Divider.png" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" srcset="https://iicchicago.esteri.it/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Image-Divider.png 800w, https://iicchicago.esteri.it/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Image-Divider-300x19.png 300w, https://iicchicago.esteri.it/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Image-Divider-768x48.png 768w" alt="" width="800" height="50" /></p> <p><strong>Public Opening</strong><br /> Friday, February 9 at 6-8:00pm CT</p> <p>The exhibition opens to the public with a celebratory event where you will meet Alessandro Ferraro, Cecilia Beaven and the participating students of <em>Poetry is a Place</em>.
