Dreamweave for Thirdspace | Karin F. Giusti #karinfgiusti #dreamweaveforathirdspace
"The overarching theme of this project is to weave a third space into existence as if a wise ‘Spider Woman’ could harness cultural creative energies of PVDFest. E.W Soja’s conceptualization of Thirdspace powers this dream weaving. Soja’s theory of Thirdspace is where “everything comes together… subjectivity and objectivity, the abstract and the concrete, the real and the imagined."

Adaption of "Mozart in Love" we bring to you Vivaldi's four seasons, an artistic interpretation by Adi Atassi. While we are engaged by musical notes, maestro Adi begins to register his feeling of the musical reverberations into an artistic display, through colours and drawings.
Cityscape capturing the Urban Vocabulary
Before "Vivaldi in Love" session, we are touching on Adi's Cityscape artworks capturing the urban vocabulary Spoleto during his residency at Casale Flaminia. The hidden, the unknown, the mysterious are the key vocabulary of cityscape, the vocabulary of mysterious cities in a contemporary way of expression, composed in my particular language of ink and watercolours.
Grazie mille to Vitor Pereira, Francesca Romana d'Alessandro, Mellisa Hekkers, and Sandy Humby for (sm)art contributions.
