Mark Durden and João Leal will present the Scopio Newspaper publication dedicated to Aldo Rossi's "House of Souls". The authors have carried out a visual research aimed at reworking the essential architectural structure of the cemetery, analyzing the melancholic poetics of the spaces.
Mark Durden is a writer, artist, and academic. He currently holds the position of Professor of Photography and Director of the European Center for Documentary Research at the University of South Wales, UK.
João Leal is an artist and lecturer. He has a PhD in Visual Arts from the University of South Wales, in connection with the European Centre for Documentary Research. He is also a professor at the Department of Image Arts P.Porto.
The presentation will be held directly inside the cemetery area starting at 7.30 pm.
A specific entrance will be dedicated to the visitor and will be appropriately signposted. We will be outdoors so dress up! Don't worry: in case of rain, the lecture will still be held.
It will be a very evocative evening because we will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the melancholic and austere atmosphere of one of the most significant architectural examples of the twentieth century.
The talk will be an unmissable opportunity to deepen an important element of our city that is often taken for granted, if not neglected.
And then, what better opportunity to visit a cemetery at night?!URL https://www.sugarpaper.it/post/aldo-rossi-san-cataldo-cemetery---by-mark-durden-and-joao-leal Persons Mark Durden, João Leal
