“For the Bellezza, hate me well, Phaedrus, the Bellezza alone is divine and visible at the same time, and that is why it is the way to the sensitive, it is, little Phaedrus, the way that leads the artist to the spirit.”
Thomas Mann

From A to B
Artistic craftsmanship meets Alighiero Boetti
The exhibition “From A to B: artistic craftsmanship meets Alighiero Boetti”, curated by Franco Valli, opened on Tuesday 15 October at the Italian Cultural Institute in Miami. This is the project identified to celebrate Contemporary Art Day in Miami, the event promoted by AMACI (Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museums) with the aim of enhancing contemporary Italian art through extraordinary openings and events of museums and galleries.
The opening ceremony of the exhibition, introduced by the Director of the Institute Stefano Cerrato, was characterized by the speeches of the Consul General of Italy in Miami, Michele Mistò and the Honorable Andrea Di Giuseppe, deputy elected in the North and Central America Division and President of the Permanent Committee on International Trade of the Chamber of Deputies.
The exhibition brings together thirteen excellent master craftsmen, who dialogue with the work of the famous Italian artist Alighiero Boetti, exploring the boundary between contemporary art and craftsmanship.
HOW WE ARE UNIQUE
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
(Oscar Wilde)
Mastery comes from a constant and passionate practical application of learned knowledge.
It is the ability to conceive new ideas and products that allow us to distinguish a craftsman from a master, an object from a masterpiece.
The ability to create something new and unique by harmonizing the old and the new also through the innovative use of ancient techniques.
A master craftsman does not just replicate tradition but reinterprets it, innovates it and adapts it to the taste and spirit of his time.
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
If there is one, is that success is brought about by a combination of smart habits, passion, a tenacious spirit, and…… a whole lot of luck.
FIND YOUR PASSION
You should be excited to do everything you do and would do them for free in order to be successful.
START WITH WHY
Asking why we do what we do, are the most successful. You need a dream not a plan.
BE PATIENT
Success requires patience and graft to stick with the challenges and to see the journey through.
