Stefano Bardini (1854-1922) was a prominent Italian antiquary who decided to transform his collection into a museum and donate it to the city of Florence. The building, a magnificent palace eclectic in style, where the museum has its headquarters, was acquired and restored by Bardini in 1881, in order to be used for his antiquarian trade activity. The antiquary modified the structure adding new gates and stairs, used medieval and Renaissance stones, chimneys, in addition, he affixed painted coffered ceilings. Bardini transformed the old building — the former church and convent of San Gregorio della Pace — into a wonderful neo-Renaissance villa, where, besides the exhibition halls, there were workshops so that the pieces were restored before selling them.

The building was closed for restoration for almost a decade to be reopened in April 2009. The museum hosts an eclectic collection of more than 3,600 artworks, including paintings, sculptures, armours, musical instruments, ceramics, coins, medals, and antique furniture. Two showrooms on the ground floor are dedicated to the history of Florence and include some of the most emblematic creations for the streets of the city: Pietro Tacca´s Il Cinghiale from the Porcellino Fountain, and Il Diavolino by Giambologna.
Museo Stefano Bardini – Via dei Renai 37, 50125 Florence

Stefano Bardini (1854-1922), mítico anticuario italiano, decidió transformar su colección en museo y donarlo a Florencia. El edificio, un imponente palacio de gusto ecléctico donde hoy tiene su sede el museo, fue adquirido y restaurado por Bardini en 1881 para destinarlo a su actividad de comercio de antigüedades. El anticuario modificó la estructura utilizando elementos como portones, escaleras, piedras medievales y renacentistas, chimeneas y escaleras, así como artesonados pintados. Bardini transformó la antigua construcción —antes iglesia y convento de San Gregorio della Pace— en una estupenda mansión neorrenacentista donde, además de los salones de exposición, había talleres en los cuales se restauraban las obras de arte antes de venderlas.

El edificio fue cerrado por restauración durante casi una década y reabrió sus puertas en abril de 2009. El museo alberga una colección ecléctica de más de 3600 obras, entre pinturas, esculturas, armaduras, instrumentos musicales, cerámicas, monedas, medallas y muebles antiguos. Dos salas de la planta baja están dedicadas a Florencia y a su historia, con algunas obras emblemáticas de las calles de la ciudad: Il Cinghiale de Pietro Tacca de la fuente del Porcellino, e Il Diavolino de Giambologna.

History of art was, without a doubt, my favourite subject at high school. By then, Italy was for me a distant and unknown country, it seemed so far as on another planet, and I did not even know what Tuscany meant or where in the map Florence was. At the age of 17, everything seemed so phantasmagorical and unreal … How unusual, the unpredictable ways to which life sometimes leads. Especially to those who try to escape from routine.

I then loved the art history classes taught by María Luisa, always conducted in the dark. During those hours, I felt invisible and safe (at that time, my face was plagued by acne). We contemplated slides showing the art treasures explained with genuine devotion by the teacher and took notes of things that I thought I would never see on site. María Luisa inoculated me with the love for art and subtly with a passion for Florentine wonders. Today, 24 years later, I do not even remember her surname.

Historia del arte según Florencia o el capítulo del Renacimiento en el instituto

Historia del arte era, sin duda, mi asignatura favorita de COU. Cuando Italia era para mí un país lejano y desconocido, incluso casi de otro planeta, y ni siquiera sabía qué era Toscana ni qué lugar ocupaba Florencia en el mapa de la región. A los 17 años, me parecía todo tan fantasmagórico e irreal… Es curioso los diversos caminos en los que a veces se ramifica la vida. Especialmente, aquellas vidas que intentan salvarse de la monotonía.

Me encantaban las clases de historia del arte que impartía María Luisa porque siempre estábamos a oscuras. Durante esas horas, me sentía invisible y a salvo (en aquella época, tenía la cara comida por el acné). Contemplábamos diapositivas que ella explicaba con auténtica devoción, mientras tomábamos apuntes de cosas que al menos yo creía que nunca iba a ver in situ. María Luisa me inoculó el amor por el arte e, inconscientemente, supongo, por las maravillas florentinas. Hoy, 24 años después, ni siquiera me acuerdo de su apellido.

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the start of his career as a street artist, Shepard Fairey, also known as OBEY, presents at Palazzo Medici-Riccardi in Florence the exhibition ‘OBEY. MAKE ART NOT WAR.’ The show is a visual journey at the crossroads between four themes — Woman, Environment, Peace, Culture — recreating in the museum the ideal night-time stroll through the city. The large artworks and the small silk-screen prints are organic parts of the same family, an urban conversation between militant messages. OBEY encourages reflections on humanitarian themes, existential transitions, social utopias and values above the law. His pacifist and environmental message transforms us into little ‘soldiers’ of a new kind of activism.‘OBEY.

OBEY. MAKE ART NOT WAR, exposición en el Palazzo Medici-Riccardi de Florencia

Con motivo del 30.º aniversario del comienzo de su carrera como artista callejero, Shepard Fairey, conocido en el mundo del arte simplemente como OBEY, presenta en el Palazzo Medici-Riccardi de Florencia la exposición OBEY. MAKE ART NOT WAR. La muestra propone un viaje visual que discurre a través de cuatro temas (mujer, medioambiente, paz, cultura), concebido en el museo como un paseo nocturno por la ciudad.

Las obras de arte más grandes y las pequeñas serigrafías conforman partes orgánicas de un mismo todo, con la intención de plantear una conversación urbana entre mensajes militantes. Fairey promueve así la reflexión sobre temas humanitarios, transiciones existenciales, utopías sociales y valores por encima de la ley. Su mensaje pacifista y pro medioambiente transforma al visitante en pequeños «soldados» de un nuevo tipo de activismo.

Palazzo Strozzi celebrates Natalia Goncharova, a leading female artist of the 20th century, in a major retrospective. The exhibition explores her unconventional life and career, presenting her rich and multifaceted artistic output with masterpieces from significant international collections by renowned artists including Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, Balla and Boccioni.

Taking visitors on a journey from the Russian countryside to Moscow and Paris, the exhibition features 130 artworks and gives an account of the unorthodox life of a woman who lived for her own unique fusion of tradition and innovation, of East and West, making her own work an exceptional example of experimentation with artistic genres and styles ranging from New-Primitivism to Rayonisme, painting and graphic art to her work for the theatre.

Over 175 pieces dedicated to Isadora Duncan will be exhibited until September 22 in the charming Villa Bardini and the Stefano Bardini Museum in Florence. Paintings, sculptures and documents including unpublished photographs that trace the link of the founder of modern dance with Italy and the influence she had in the international context. Rebellious to every convention and with a strong charisma, Isadora Duncan distinguished herself for her dancing free from social conditioning.

On the dance front, the theme of liberating the female body from constrictions takes its inspiration from the archaeological and classical world and it’s central in the contents of the exhibition. ‘Dance Steps’ is the first-ever Italian exhibition dedicated to American dancer Isadora Duncan (1877-1927), whose revolutionary approach gave rise to modern dance and influenced the world of art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
‘Dance Steps,’ until September 22 at Villa Bardini, Costa San Giorgio 2, Florence

Isadora Duncan te espera en Florencia

Más de 175 piezas dedicadas a Isadora Duncan se exhiben hasta el 22 de septiembre en Villa Bardini y el Museo Stefano Bardini en Florencia. Pinturas, esculturas y documentos que incluyen fotografías inéditas que trazan el vínculo entre la fundadora de la danza moderna e Italia y la influencia que ejerció en el contexto internacional. Rebelde de todas las convenciones y con un carisma extraordinario, Isadora Duncan se distinguió por su danza exenta de convencionalismos sociales.

En el ámbito de la danza, el tema de la liberación del cuerpo femenino de las restricciones se inspira en el mundo arqueológico y clásico y es fundamental en el contenido de la exposición. «Dance Steps» es la primera exposición italiana dedicada a la bailarina estadounidense Isadora Duncan (1877-1927), cuyo enfoque revolucionario dio origen a la danza moderna e influyó en el mundo del arte a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX.

Florence is alive and wants to express itself. Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi presents a retrospective of world-wide acclaimed performance artist Marina Abramović. The show opens its doors on September 21, the same day that L’Eredità delle Donne festival begins. During four months, till January 20, 2019, Florence and particularly the Palazzo Strozzi hosts an exhibition that pays tribute to the fifty-year career of one of the heavyweights of Action Art. She is the first woman that has a “solo exhibition” at the Palazzo Strozzi.

Abramović attended the crowded press conference at the Cinema Odeon Firenze, with a sober total black look contrasting with her attitude, especially sympathetic, humorous and enigmatic. Abramović is referential amidst her investigations focused on testing the limits of her own body. But also, she challenges the audience to take action in her performances, with the purpose to examine similarly the limits, empathy, and relationship of the general public with the body of others, that of the artist. Abramović stated without batting an eyelid: “I invented the performance and anybody else.” When female journalists asked her about the trinomial art-woman-feminism, Abramović distanced herself answering: “I do not think that art should be defined in terms of gender, male and female. There are only two types of art: good art and bad art.” Among other things she also asserted without blushing: “We have to use technology, but technology should not use us. I need to clarify that for me, Instagram is not art.”

The event brings together more than a hundred works, providing a comprehensive selection of pieces created between the seventies and the beginning of the 21st century. The expo presents a wide spectrum of formats that range from videos, photographs, to paintings, objects, and installations. One of the milestones are the live recreations of her most famous performances, which will be carefully executed by a group of performers specially chosen and trained for this show. By exhibiting in this space, Marina Abramović will have her first opportunity to interact with Renaissance architecture. The experience will consolidate the relationship of the artist with Italy even further.

The exhibit has been curated by Arturo Galansino of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, and Lena Essling of the Moderna Museet, Stockholm/Malmö, together with Tine Colstrup, of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and Susanne Kleine, of the Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn.

Marina Abramović: «Yo inventé la performance y no ninguna otra persona»

Florencia está viva y quiere expresarse. La retrospectiva que rinde tributo al medio siglo de carrera de Marina Abramović, «Marina Abramović – The Cleaner», abre sus puertas al público el 21 de septiembre en el Palazzo Strozzi, el mismo día que comienza el festival feminista L’Eredità delle Donne. Se trata de la primera mujer sobre la que Palazzo Strozzi ha preparado una solo exhibition.  Marina Abramović asistió a la concurrida rueda de prensa, convocada en el Cinema Odeon Firenze, vestida de negro y mostrándose especialmente simpática, divertida y enigmática.

La artista convertida en obra de arte y enamorada de Italia no se corta en afirmar: «Yo inventé la performance y no ninguna otra persona». Cuando las periodistas (mujeres) comenzaron a hacerle preguntas en torno al trinomio arte-mujer-feminismo, Abramović se desmarcó respondiendo: «No creo que el arte se deba definir en términos de géneros masculino y femenino; pues solo hay dos tipos de arte, el arte bueno y el arte malo». Entre otras perlas, también soltó: «Debemos usar la tecnología, pero no la tecnología a nosotros. Y tengo que aclarar que para mí Instagram no es arte».

Hasta el 20 de enero de 2019, Palazzo Strozzi acoge esta gran retrospectiva dedicada a Marina Abramović, una de las figuras más célebres y controvertidas del arte contemporáneo, cuyas obras han revolucionado la idea de la performance, poniendo a prueba su cuerpo y su potencial expresivo al límite. La muestra reúne más de un centenar de obras y proporciona una visión exhaustiva de las creaciones más aclamadas de una carrera que abarca desde la década de 1970 hasta la de 2000: vídeos, fotografías, pinturas, objetos, instalaciones y recreaciones en vivo de sus performances ejecutadas en Palazzo Strozzi por un grupo de artistas especialmente elegidos y entrenados para la ocasión.

Cabe señalar que la retrospectiva es el resultado de una colaboración directa con la artista. Palazzo Strozzi vuelve a ofrecer un espacio expositivo integrado, dando a Marina Abramović su primera oportunidad de interactuar con la arquitectura renacentista, destacando la estrecha relación que siempre ha tenido, y todavía mantiene, con Italia. La muestra está comisariada por Arturo Galansino, de la Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, y Lena Essling, de Moderna Museet, junto con Tine Colstrup, del Museo de Arte Moderno de Louisiana, y Susanne Kleine, de la Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn.

There is no doubt that if Banksy had lived during the Renaissance in Florence, the Medici would have been his patrons — they were the Maecenas of most of the art produced in Florence at that time. Any case, supposedly, Banksy artworks do not belong to anyone, but to the cities public space where he intervenes. However, the system devours everything, yet the supposed «anti-system» expressions as the graffiti made by Banksy. A proof of this is the exhibition organized at Palazzo Medici Riccardi, opened until February 24, 2019. Curated by Gianluca Marziani and Stefano S. Antonelli, the show brings together twenty images of Banksy’s most iconic pieces, those that won world fame due to its thematic: capitalism, war, surveillance, or massive migratory movements.

Banksy vindicates the ethics through his evocative artworks and he is one of the most featured artists in the mass media, everything he does is “epic”. The Palazzo Medici Riccardi displays the interventions that contributed to the planetary success of one of the most complex, enigmatic, controverted and ingenious artists of our era. Banksy’s work represents the natural evolution of the Pop Art of the sixties. He is the only artist fusing serial reproduction, hip-hop culture, the graffiti of the eighties and the ins and outs of the contemporary digital culture. His pieces denounce the contradictions and paradoxes of our society… maybe as contradictory as himself. In summary, his infamous street art intrusions are now converted in “popular frescoes.”

No cabe duda de que si Banksy hubiera sido un artista del Renacimiento florentino, los Medici habrían patrocinado su trabajo creativo, dado el marcado y continuo ejercicio de mecenazjo del que hicieron gala durante toda su existencia. Aunque las obras de Banksy son libres y no pertenecen a nadie, solo al espacio público y quizá a las ciudades, Palazzo Medici Riccardi ha reunido un puñado de imágenes de sus piezas más emblemáticas para exhibirlas en sus salas hasta el 24 de febrero de 2019. Banksy existe de manera disruptiva a través de sus obras de poder ético, evocativo y mediático sin precedentes.

La exposición consta de veinte imágenes que han contribuido al éxito planetario de uno de los artistas más complejos, ingeniosos e intuitivos de nuestro tiempo. Banksy representa la mejor evolución del Pop Art original, el único que ha fusionado la multiplicación en serie, la cultura hip hop, el grafiti de los ochenta y los planteamientos de la cultura digital. Curada por Gianluca Marziani y Stefano S. Antonelli, la muestra expone en Palazzo Medici Riccardi sus imágenes más icónicas, aquellas que han ganado gran popularidad, las que abordan los temas del capitalismo, la guerra y el control social, las que denuncian las contradicciones y paradojas de nuestro tiempo. En definitiva, sus famosas intervenciones callejeras hoy ya convertidas en «frescos populares».
