The exhibition “Sono tazza di te! – 13 smashing women designers” opens today, April 17.00, at 83:100 p.m., in the council chamber of the municipality of Vietri sul Mare (Corso Umberto I, XNUMX), a project by “DcomeDesign”, curated by Anty Pansera and Patrizia Sacchi (member of the board of directors of DcomeDesign), strongly desired by the mayor of the first town on the Amalfi coast, Giovanni De Simone, and by the councilor responsible for ceramics Daniele Benincasa.
The exhibition is curated by architect Michele Cuomo, together with his colleagues Antonella Venezia and Anna Fresa; Elisa D'Arienzo is the event coordinator.
The exhibition, entirely female, sees the participation of 100 women involved in the production of art and design objects, many of which are made of ceramics and will remain open to the public until May 23, on Fridays from 17.00:20.00 pm to 9.30:12.00 pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 089:763801 am to XNUMX:XNUMX pm (info XNUMX XNUMX).
Among the 100 “smashing women designers” a large representation composed in part of young craftswomen from Vietri, Salerno or who have in any case worked in Vietri sul Mare, often daughters of art who represent the future of artistic production and guarantee that necessary generational change that every art needs so that it continues to be a spokesperson for the new that will come: Lucia Carpentieri, Laura Marmai, Elvira Peduto, Teresa Salsano, Piera Mautone, Anna Rita Cassetta, Carmen Di Renna, Tamara Rossetti, Enrica Rebek, Angela Cialeo, Angelica Tulimiero, Martina Marchi, Margherita D'Amato, Mara D'Arienzo, Elisabetta D'Arienzo, Daniela Scalese and Dorota Adamska. Accompanying the exhibition, a catalogue with text by Anty Pansera, graphically curated by Patrizia Sacchi.
The title of the exhibition – “Sono tazza di te!” – is a double play on words (where tea is not the drink but the person), which alludes to the classic phrase “I'm crazy about you”, a true declaration of love, in this case imbued with irony, for art.
"The female ceramists here have always been foreigners: until a few years ago this was an exclusively male profession. Today, perhaps, it is precisely to the craftswomen that the innovation that combines with a modern and cultured decorative grammar/modeling, but never separated and sensitive, from tradition, is entrusted.“, wrote Anty Pansera in the catalogue, recalling that even in the “German period” of Vietri ceramics it was still women who were protagonists of the production of those years: the Polish Irene Kowaliska, the Germans Barbara Margarethe Thewalt-Hannasch, known as Bab and Elsie (Elle) Schwarz (in Dölker).
