This sets the exhibition concept apart from the general trend of contemporary figurative painting. Works with an eternal outlook have been preferred. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number of applicants rose greatly from the last &lt;a href="http://www.worldwidekitsch.com/cgi-bin/nyheter/visnyhet.cgi?id=61&amp;amp;menu=nyheter"&gt;Kitsch Biennale 2008&lt;/a&gt; in Munich, Germany. This has allowed the jury to heighten the criteria, leading to a reduced number of accepted applicants. &lt;br /&gt;This fits perfectly with the exclusive space of &lt;a href="http://www.cini.it/index.php/en/site/show/6"&gt;Palazzo Cini at San Vio&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For further information, please contact Davide Federici: &lt;br /&gt;mobile +39 331 5265149, tel +39 041 5226277, email &lt;a href="mailto:federicistampa@alice.it"&gt;federicistampa@alice.it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may also go to &lt;a href="http://www.worldwidekitsch.com/"&gt;www.worldwidekitsch.com&lt;/a&gt; or search for event “&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=353747614739&amp;amp;ref=ts"&gt;Kitsch Biennale 2010-exhibition&lt;/a&gt;”and/or group "&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=353747614739&amp;amp;ref=ts#%21/group.php?gid=111343985571982&amp;amp;ref=mf"&gt;Kitsch Biennale 2010&lt;/a&gt;" on Facebook. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WorldWideKitsch and The Kitsch Biennale 2010.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;La giuria della Kitsch Biennale 2010 nel corso della riunione del 9/11 Aprile ha scelto i seguenti pittori kitsch:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.andvik.com/"&gt;Jonny Andvik &lt;/a&gt;(Norvegia)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.davidebattistin.com/"&gt;Davide Battistin &lt;/a&gt;(Italia)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.daviddallavenezia.com/"&gt;David Dalla Venezia&lt;/a&gt; (Italia)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.robertoferri.net/"&gt;Roberto Ferri &lt;/a&gt;(Italia)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fereidoun Ghaffari (Iran)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.artnstuff.net/"&gt;Sampo Kaikkonen&lt;/a&gt; (Finlandia)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.klevjer.no/"&gt;Thomas Klevjer &lt;/a&gt;(Norvegia)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.heleneknoop.com/"&gt;Helene Knoop &lt;/a&gt;(Norvegia)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://jonathanmatthews.net/"&gt;Jonathan D.

Ciò pone questa esposizione in una posizione a parte nei confronti della generale tendenza della pittura figurativa contemporanea. Si sono perciò preferite opere che avessero una prospettiva di eternità.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il numero dei candidati è cresciuto considerevolmente dalla precedente edizione della &lt;a href="http://www.worldwidekitsch.com/cgi-bin/nyheter/visnyhet.cgi?id=61&amp;amp;menu=nyheter"&gt;Kitsch Biennale 2008&lt;/a&gt; a Monaco di Baviera, Germania. Ciò ha permesso alla giuria di aumentare i criteri di valutazione, portandola a ridurre il numero di candidati selezionati.&lt;br /&gt;La qual cosa si addice perfettamente all’esclusività della sede espositiva, &lt;a href="http://www.cini.it/index.php/it/site/show/6"&gt;Palazzo Cini a San Vio&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per maggiori informazioni si prega di contattare Davide Federici: &lt;br /&gt;mobile +39 331 5265149, tel +39 041 5226277, email &lt;a href="mailto:federicistampa@alice.it"&gt;federicistampa@alice.it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;È inoltre possibile visitare il sito &lt;a href="http://www.worldwidekitsch.com/"&gt;www.worldwidekitsch.com&lt;/a&gt; o su Facebook la pagina dedicata&amp;nbsp; all'evento&amp;nbsp; “&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=353747614739&amp;amp;ref=ts"&gt;Kitsch Biennale 2010-exhibition&lt;/a&gt;” e/o gruppo "&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=353747614739&amp;amp;ref=ts#%21/group.php?gid=111343985571982&amp;amp;ref=mf"&gt;Kitsch Biennale 2010&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saluti distinti,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WorldWideKitsch and The Kitsch Biennale 2010. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5094340689370978567-3312102849393695013?l=kitschbiennale-venezia2010.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kitschbiennale-venezia2010.blogspot.com/feeds/3312102849393695013/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kitschbiennale-venezia2010.blogspot.com/2010/08/kitsch-biennale-2010-selected-painters.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5094340689370978567/posts/default/3312102849393695013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5094340689370978567/posts/default/3312102849393695013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kitschbiennale-venezia2010.blogspot.com/2010/08/kitsch-biennale-2010-selected-painters.html' title='KITSCH BIENNALE 2010: Selected painters – Pittori Selezionati'/><author><name>KITSCH BIENNALE 2010</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00240262128471710589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L4Z4Tm-dQ40/TFqHU7PIjiI/AAAAAAAAACQ/G7qS7Sjg8nE/S220/farfallaShane1x1,5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094340689370978567.post-5450787261758336310</id><published>2010-08-04T12:47:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-04T15:20:47.058+02:00</updated><title type='text'>KITSCH BIENNALE 2010                       Palazzo Cini at San Vio, Venezia, Italy  17/09-15/10 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L4Z4Tm-dQ40/TFlBLT3w-nI/AAAAAAAAAAM/MMW7-46s0wk/s1600/NERDRUM-RunningBride-cm.56x48light.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L4Z4Tm-dQ40/TFlBLT3w-nI/AAAAAAAAAAM/MMW7-46s0wk/s400/NERDRUM-RunningBride-cm.56x48light.jpg" width="328" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr align="left"&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Odd Nerdrum – &lt;i&gt;Running Bride&lt;/i&gt;, oil on canvas, 46x56 cm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: black;"&gt;Why “kitsch”?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The painters invited to exhibit at The Kitsch Biennale 2010 in Venice have been chosen from their ability to create life on canvas – an idea deeply rooted in European Humanism that presupposes insight into anatomy and human psychology, a mind for pathos and a sense for the archetypical narrative. &lt;br /&gt;Yet, these values are rootless in contemporary art, which generally disregards skill and aims to reflect the time. They were not included in the modern concept of art (originally “fine art”), which was born about 250 years ago. Rejecting handcraft and sincerity, art represents a break with the values of the Renaissance and Baroque and not a continuation of them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of this situation an alternative to art is needed, and The Kitsch Biennale seeks to present it. But why use the word “kitsch”? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term is about 150 years old, and has commonly been used in a negative and disparaging sense. It denotes sentimentality and pathos in music, sculpture and painting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the 20th century on, ”kitsch” started to be used more theoretically and afterwards as the negative opposite of art. Painters who still wanted to make paint look like living skin, were considered old-fashioned and labelled with this term. According to Hermann Broch: «In art the evil is represented by kitsch». Thus, kitsch is not even ”bad art”, but forms a system of its own. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1996, however, Odd Nerdrum discovered the positive potential in the term. He started to claim “kitsch” as a positive superstructure for figurative, non-ironic and narrative painting to which the concept of “kitsch” fits better than “art”. &lt;br /&gt;Consequently, a growing number of figurative painters are now calling themselves “kitsch painters”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the positive view of kitsch: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The eternal perspective is preferable to a contemporary, limited horizon. &lt;br /&gt;•&amp;nbsp; A “sentimental” or “pathetic” image is no cause of shame (unless badly painted...). &lt;br /&gt;• Quality is more important than originality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this exhibition and catalogue, we welcome you into a living discipline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Helene Knoop &amp;amp; Jan-Ove Tuv&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WorldWideKitsch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Perchè “kitsch”?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; I pittori invitati ad esporre alla Kitsch Biennale 2010 di Venezia sono stati scelti per la loro abilità nel creare la vita sulla tela - un’idea profondamente radicata nell’Umanesimo Europeo, che presuppone comprensione dell’anatomia e della psiche umana, attenzione al pathos e senso del racconto degli archetipi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; Eppure questi valori non hanno radici nell’arte contemporanea, che generalmente disdegna l’abilità tecnica ed ambisce soprattutto a rappresentare il proprio tempo. Questi valori non sono stati inclusi nel moderno concetto di arte (originariamente “belle arti”), quando nacque circa 250 anni fa. Rifiutando l’artigianalità e la sincerità l’arte rappresenta una rottura con i valori del Rinascimento e del Barocco e non una loro continuazione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; In questa situazione un’alternativa all’arte è necessaria e la Kitsch Biennale cerca di offrirla. Ma perché usare la parola “kitsch”?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; Questo termine risale a circa 150 anni fa e ha comunemente una connotazione negativa e dispregiativa. In musica, scultura e pittura denota sentimentalità e pathos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; A partire dal XX secolo il “kitsch” ha cominciato ad essere usato in senso teoretico e successivamente come opposto negativo dell’arte. I pittori che insistettero a voler far sembrare la pelle dipinta come vera furono considerati antiquati ed etichettati con questo termine. Secondo Hermann Broch: «In arte il male è rappresentato dal kitsch». Così il “kitsch” non è semplicemente “cattiva arte” ma forma un sistema a sé stante.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; Tuttavia nel 1996 Odd Nerdrum ne scopre il potenziale positivo. Egli comincia così a sostenere il “kitsch” come sovrastruttura positiva&amp;nbsp; per la pittura figurativa, non-ironica e narrativa a cui il concetto di “kitsch” si addice meglio di quello di “arte”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; Conseguentemente un numero crescente di pittori figurativi comincia a parlare di sé come “pittori-kitsch”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; Perciò in accordo con una visione positiva del kitsch:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; • La prospettiva d’eternità è preferibile ad un contemporaneo, limitato orizzonte. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; • Un’immagine “sentimentale” o “patetica” non è motivo di vergogna (a meno che sia mal dipinta...). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; • La qualità è più importante dell’originalità.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; Con questa esposizione e catalogo vi diamo il benvenuto in una disciplina vivente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; Helene Knoop &amp;amp; Jan-Ove Tuv&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; WorldWideKitsch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5094340689370978567-5450787261758336310?l=kitschbiennale-venezia2010.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kitschbiennale-venezia2010.blogspot.com/feeds/5450787261758336310/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kitschbiennale-venezia2010.blogspot.com/2010/08/kitsch-biennale-2010-palazzo-cini-at.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5094340689370978567/posts/default/5450787261758336310'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5094340689370978567/posts/default/5450787261758336310'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kitschbiennale-venezia2010.blogspot.com/2010/08/kitsch-biennale-2010-palazzo-cini-at.html' title='KITSCH BIENNALE 2010                       Palazzo Cini at San Vio, Venezia, Italy  17/09-15/10 2010'/><author><name>KITSCH BIENNALE 2010</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00240262128471710589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L4Z4Tm-dQ40/TFqHU7PIjiI/AAAAAAAAACQ/G7qS7Sjg8nE/S220/farfallaShane1x1,5.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L4Z4Tm-dQ40/TFlBLT3w-nI/AAAAAAAAAAM/MMW7-46s0wk/s72-c/NERDRUM-RunningBride-cm.56x48light.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
