Small boat exhibition in Lignano Sabbiadoro: Barcamania

The 120.000 visitors of the first edition urged the cultural association of Lignano “From a wave a smile” to organize again Barcamania, providing a richer programme.

The main purpose of this event is to promote not only the market of small boats, but also all the world around the sea and the golden beach of Lignano. For this reason, in addition to the professional associations and the institutes, will also be involved traders, hoteliers, sport associations and the tourist high school Savorgnan di Brazzà.

As the last year, the exhibition of small boats will take place along the main street of Lignano, with new locations between Piazza City and Terrazza a Mare and it will involve also the beautiful and well-equipped docks of the seaside resort with specific projects. The boats on display will be more than 40 with its gazebos and they will be framed by shops and bars, a gastronomic area with typical dishes from the Marano Lagoon and an entertainment area for shows. Barcamania will offer also international nautical news and debates and meetings on yachting held by experts in this field. Art and culture will be part of the event: a photographic and a painting exhibition will be present for all the duration of Barcamania.

The small boat exhibition wants also to promote Lignano during the winter season, when the seaside resort hasn't tourist flow, through the creation of ad hoc events. In this case the event is addressed to boats and sailing lovers, that knew Barcamania the last year and also this autumn during the famous Nautilia in Aprilia Marittima.

Very good comments were expressed by the President of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Renzo Tondo, and by the President of the Province of Udine, Piero Fontanini, who emphasised the importance of such initiatives to deseasonalize the tourist offer and to suggest holiday packages for the next summer season. Danila Ciotta, President of the association “A smile from a wave”, clarified that the aim of Barcamania is to help children in trouble in Friuli Venezia Giulia, through solidarity projects and donations to unlucky children and families.

Barcamania 2009 will take place from Saturday the 21st of February to Sunday the 1st of March along Via Udine, Viale Tolmezzo, Viale Venezia and Parco S. Giovanni Bosco.

The Museo de la Ciudad Santiago de Querétaro to host Jackie Sleper's exhibition dedicated to Mexico

In January, February and March 2009, Dutch artist Jackie Sleper will exhibit "Dulce y Amargo" in the Museo de la Ciudad Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro, Mexico

From 21 January - 21 March 2009, the Museo de la Ciudad Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro, Mexico, will host the famous Dutch artist's, Jackie Sleper, touring exhibition "Dulce y Amargo" inspired by, and dedicated to, Mexico and the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and curated by Matty Roca.

Jackie Sleper, the winner of the section "Sculpture and Installation" at the Florence Biennale 2007, has always been fascinated by Mexico and the artist Frida Kahlo, for whom she has a profound admiration and so, when she received an offer from Matty Roca to depict her vision of Mexico she readily accepted. Over the course of the following two years, Jackie Sleper spent many months in situ, about which she says "I took in everything around me, spoke with lots of people and, in particular, got a sense of the country. My previous love of Mexico only grew stronger."

Her works are at times reminiscent of a variety of artists: Rivera, Orozco, Tamayo and Pollock. Jackie Sleper assumes absolute freedom in applying various techniques and introducing experimental elements: her work is characterised by combinations of photography and painting, and the use of mixed media. In addition to painting, Jackie also creates objects using a variety of materials, which she then transforms into wholly a new and surprising entity, such a the wonderful and fun piece "Rocatizada", dedicated to her curator Matty Roca. The artist other works to be guided by a profound sense of humanity, and she is an artist in the truest sense of the word, her work has always been grounded in her exploration of the human existence and its significance. The art critic, Wim Van der Beek said about Jackie's work prior to her 2007 Netherlands exhibition: "Jackie Sleper's aim is not to shock, but to make things tangible and manageable. She does not want to magnify injustices, but to offe r solutions in the form of positive and unorthodox ways of seeing."

The Querétaro show is the first step in 2009 of Jackie's touring exhibition. Jackie's exhibitions showing throughout Mexico in 2008 and 2009 are all being curated by Matty Roca, art historian, museum curator and art critic. They have so far been a huge success, the first was held at the Museo de la Cultura Maya in Chetumal in March and April 2008, in May-June at the Museo de la Isla in Cozumel, at the Museum of Modern Art of Gómez Palacio in July and August, and most recently in the Museo El Aguacate in Durango.

The artist will, as always, be present at the vernissage of "Dulce y Amargo" on 21 January, along with important local personalities from the political, cultural and educational scene in Mexico and from the Dutch and European communities living in the state of Querétaro.

Jackie Sleper was born in Amsterdam and studied at the Utrecht Academy for Visual Arts. Between 1988 and 1995 she spent time in Ireland, Spain and Prague for study purposes. Works produced in her home country, the Netherlands, include a tile plateau in honour of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, commissioned by the municipality of Utrecht, and 'light objects' for the Kruisheren Hotel, a design establishment that opened in Maastricht in 2005. Outside the Netherlands, she has exhibited in Antwerp (Art-Event), Stockholm (Art Fair), Marbella (Marb Art – Feria Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo), Geneva (Europ'Art), Klagenfurt (Biennale Austria), Salzburg (Mozart Festival), Florence (Museo Diocesano and Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte Contemporanea), Milan (Studio D'Ars), New York (Carrozzini Von Buhler Gallery and CVB Space), and in Mexico. One of her sculptures, "Modestia", was exhibited during the Venice Biennale, at Open 2007. She won the 1st prize for "Sculpture and Installation" at the Florence Biennale 2007.

The Museo Regional de Durango 'El Aguacate' in Durango to host Jackie Sleper's latest exhibition dedicated to Mexico

In November and December 2008, Dutch artist Jackie Sleper will exhibit "Dulce y Amargo" in the Museo Regional de Durango "El Aguacate", Durango, Mexico

From 5 November - 19 December 2008, the Museo Regional "El Aguacate" in Durango, Mexico, will host the famous Dutch artist's, Jackie Sleper, touring exhibition "Dulce y Amargo" inspired by, and dedicated to, Mexi co and the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and curated by Matty Roca.

The Durango show is the fourth and last step in 2008 of Jackie's touring exhibition and she is delighted to be holding in a city which she feels has a close link with her own home town of Utrecht. The museum, "El Aguacate", is known by this name Aguacate, or avocado, due to the avocado tree planted in the garden. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city centre, built in 1890 and was the residence of the family of Francisco Gomez Palacio, son of the famous governor.

Jackie's exhibitions showing throughout Mexico in 2008 and 2009 are all being curated by Matty Roca, art historian, museum curator and art critic.

La Borsa italiana: cos'e' e come funziona

La Borsa è un mercato fondato su regole precise in cui vengono scambiate determinate merci, che possiamo definire "strumenti finanziari". Le merci scambiate in Borsa sono soprattutto azioni, quote parte del capitale sociale di un'azienda, ma non solo. Rispetto al passato nella Borsa non vi è più nulla di fisico: il salone delle grida, gli agenti di cambio...sono un lontano ricordo e, ormai dal 1994, l'intero listino è informatizzato.
Da ciò deriva la possibiltà, ormai nota, del Trading online, uno strumento che consente di operare in borsa anche ai piccoli risparmiatori.

Solitamente, quando si parla di Borsa, si pensa immediatamente alle azioni, ma la Borsa è in realtà un mercato diversificato, dove sono trattati strumenti finanziari sempre più complessi. Proprio a causa di quest'ampia varietà di prodotti, si è reso necessario nel tempo ripartire la Borsa in più segmenti, secondo la logica di "un mercato per ogni tipologia di strumento finanziario". I mercati regolamentati operanti nel nostro paese sono diversi.

A seconda dei prodotti finanziari scambiati, la borsa si articola in comparti operativi: 1) Azionario (MTA - Mercato Telematico Azionario), in cui si scambiano i titoli azionari quotati in Borsa. A sua volta, questo mercato si suddivide in: a. Blue Chip, b. Star, c. Standard, d. MTA International, e. MTF (Mercato Telematico dei Fondi). 2) SEDEX , 3) After Hours (TAH), 4) MOT (Mercato Telematico dei Titoli di Stato e delle Obbligazioni), 5) Contratti a premio (MTR), relativi ad azioni, obbligazioni convertibili, warrant quotati e diritti di opzione, 6) IDEM (Italian Derivates Market).

Nuovo Mercato. È un mercato che si rivolge alle imprese dotate di maggiori contenuti innovativi e con alte prospettive di crescita. Permette inoltre di dare una forte visibilità europea alle imprese quotate, in quanto il Nuovo Mercato fa parte del circuito Euro.NM, alleanza di mercati azionari per le imprese innovative.

Mercato ristretto. È il mercato in cui vengono negoziate azioni, obbligazioni e warrant che non sono ammessi alle contrattazioni ufficiali di Borsa: tale mercato presenta infatti criteri di ammissione alle quotazioni meno severi rispetto al mercato principale, ma offre comunque all'investitore le stesse garanzie del mercato maggiore.

IDEM (Mercato Italiano dei Derivati). Nell'IDEM vengono trattati gli strumenti derivati come i contratti futures e i contratti di opzione aventi come attività sottostante strumenti come i tassi di interesse, valute...

Mercato dei blocchi. In esso troviamo pacchetti di azione, appunto "in blocco", ovvero con quantitativi così alti che la loro negoziazione sul mercato azionario principale uno spostamento delle quotazioni (verso l'alto in caso di un grosso ordine di acquisto, verso il basso in caso di vendita): per evitare questa situazione è stato previsto di scambiare questi pacchetti in tale mercato.

Terzo Mercato. È un mercato non regolamentato. Le contrattazioni, infatti, avvengono "spontaneamente" in un locale presso Piazza Affari, dove gli intermediari si scambiano titoli non ancora quotati nel mercato regolamentato.

Le possibilità, per chi vuole investire parte dei propri risparmi in Borsa, sono divrse: 1) essere un investitore individuale e agire in piena autonomia (attraverso il trading, lo strumento più immediato e meno costoso; appoggiandosi alla propria banca); 2) scegliere la strada del risparmio gestito, affidandosi a un professionista dell'investimento (si possono sottoscrivere quote di un fondo o affidarsi a una gestione patrimoniale).

MARINA ABRAMOVIC to be awarded at the Florence Biennale

Performance artist Marina Abramovic to be awarded at the 7th Edition of the Florence Biennale. 5 – 13 December 2009, Fortezza da Basso

The seventh edition of the Florence Biennale of Contemporary Art will take place at the historic Fortezza da Basso in Florence from 5-13 December, 2009. Marina Abramovic, the acclaimed performance artist, will be the honoured guest at this edition and she will be awarded the Lorenzo il Magnifico prize.

800 artists coming from 80 countries will be exhibiting more than 2,500 artworks and there will be an extraordinary meeting of cultures, languages and diverse artistic styles. The Florence Biennale supports the United Nations program "Dialogue between civilizations", to which the Biennale has officially adhered since 2001.

As always, the Biennale will see the presence of important artists: In the 2007 edition, the "Lorenzo il Magnifico" career prize was conferred to Gilbert & George, for the 2005 edition to Christo and Jeanne-Claude and to Richard Anuszkiewicz and in 2003 to David Hockney. In the 2009 edition, Marina Abramovic will meet both the artists participating at the Biennale and visitors to the Biennale, in part of the rich calendar of conferences, meetings and video projections.

Marina Abramovic, born in 1946 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, is without question one of the seminal artists of our time. Since the beginning of her career in Yugoslavia during the early 1970s, where she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade, Abramovic has pioneered the use of performance as a visual art form. The body has always been both her subject and medium. Exploring the physical and mental limits of her being, she has withstood pain, exhaustion, and danger in the quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. She creates works that ritualize the simple actions of everyday life such as lying, sitting, dreaming and thinking. As a vital member of the generation of pioneering performance artists that includes Bruce Nauman, Vito Acconci, and Chris Burden, Abramovic created some of the most historic early performance pieces and is the only one still making important durational works.

From 1975 until 1988, Abramovic and the German artist Ulay performed together, dealing with relations of duality. After separating in 1988, Abramovic returned to solo performances in 1989. Abramovic has presented her work with performances, sound, photography, video, sculpture, and 'Transitory Objects for Human and Non Human Use' in solo and group exhibitions at major institutions in the U.S. and Europe. She has also taught and lectured extensively in Europe and America.

She was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale for her extraordinary video installation/performance piece Balkan Baroque‚ and in 2003 received the Bessie for The House with the Ocean View‚ a 12-day performance at Sean Kelly Gallery, New York. In 2005, Abramovic presented Balkan Erotic Epic at the Pirelli Foundation in Milan, Italy and at Sean Kelly Gallery, New York. That same year, she held a series of performances called Seven Easy Pieces at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. She is currently showing in a group exhibition "worlds on video" at t he Strozzina in Florence, Italy.

Abramovic's work is included in many major public collections worldwide.

Passion for Life at the Grand Palais in Paris

The Salon des Artistes Indépendants will host the Passion for Life art exhibition in support of the Institut Curie at the Grand Palais: Together in the fight against cancer, 15 international artists will exhibit their artwork.

The next group art exhibition Passion for Life will be held from November 21-30, 2008 at the Grand Palais in Paris, in support of the Institut Curie. Following severa l art exhibitions in Italy, Mexico and the Principality of Monaco, Passion for Life has been offered the opportunity to exhibit in Paris, France, under the banner of the prestigious Société des Artistes Indépendants. Following the invitation of the President of the Society, Mrs. Franckie Tacque, and her Board of Directors, 15 international artists will exhibit their art for a humanitarian cause: the fight against cancer.

A small group of innovative artists, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Camille Pissarro and the founders Albert Dubois-Pillet, Odilon Redon, Henri-Édmond Cross, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, founded the Salon des Indépendants in 1884. In a movement of defiance, these Néo-Impressionist painters, tired from being refused by the juries of the official Salon, decided to create their own Salon - the Salon des Indépendants - with the fundamental principle of "no jury, nor reward".

One of the objectives of the Passion for Lif e program is to collect funds for the fight against cancer. The program was founded by Antoine Gaber, impressionist artist painter and cancer researcher in drug development mostly for cancer therapies. In each country where the Passion for Life exhibition has been held, the funds raised have been entirely donated to a charitable organization or a pre-selected, local association. In this upcoming event in November in Paris, Passion for Life will be supporting the Institut Curie. Founded in 1909 based on a conceptual model created by Marie Curie, the Institut Curie now brings together 2000 researchers, doctors and health care professionals, all working with the same aim: to find cures for cancer with speed. As a recognized Foundation with public support since 1921, the Institut Curie aims to make quickly available the most recent advancements in research with a multi-disciplinary approach, whilst bringing the best available treatments to cancer patients.

Participating Artis ts: Figen Begen, Mary Brilli, Diana Calvillo, Jean Pierre Faucher, Antoine Gaber, Marybel Gallegos, Sumio Inoue, Maz Jackson, Kosmas Kroussos, Leticia Leal, Sinae Lee, Martin J.A. Nijman, Marieta Reijerkerk, Goga Trascierra, Karel Vreeburg.
