Andrea Valleri - “Neopaleo”: Encounter between Art and Archeology
THE 4 EXHIBITIONS OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE WILL START IN VENICE PROMOTED BY THE CONTINI ART GALLERY
14 July marks the start of the first of four permanent exhibitions of the Venetian artist's work
scheduled for 2022, promoted by the Contini Art Gallery and Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in
Venice.
Andrea Valleri's exhibitions are promoted by the Gallery in collaboration with some of the most
important cultural institutions of Venice and Greece: the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation of Venice,
the National Archaeological Museum of Samos, the National Byzantine and Christian Museum of
Athens, the National Epigraphic Museum of Athens, the Region of Western Greece (Messolonghi).
The Contini Art Gallery will soon publish a catalogue (English-Greek-Italian) containing the entire
exhibition with the title ΝΕΟΠΑΛΑΙΟ ('neopaleo').
The first exhibition will take place from 14 to 28 July in Venice, at the Bevilacqua La Masa
headquarters in Piazza San Marco, and will host not only the artist's works, but also a series of
archaeological finds from the Byzantine and Epigraphic Museums. It is entitled 'Venetia Classica
Byzantium' in memory of the continuity between classical art, Byzantine art and the Venetian
tradition. It is presented by Bruno Bernardi in his double role as President of the BLM Foundation and Honorary Consul of Greece in Venice.
The second exhibition will take place from 4 to 13 August in Samos, at the Archeological Museum
of Vathi it is entitled ΠΑΡΑΛΛΗΛΕΣ ΠΟΡΕΙΕΣ (Parallel Paths) and is precisely an exhibition of the
artist's works as part of the museum’s exhibition itinerary.
The third exhibition will take place from 17 to 27 August at Palazzo Chrisogelou, the Region's
cultural institution in Messsolonghi, a city sacred to Greece, as its citizens gave their lives for
independence from the Ottomans during the 1821 Revolution. It is entitled ΣΥΜΒΙΟΣΗ ('symbiosis')
as a testament both to the similar lagoon environment of Venice and Messolonghi, and to the
common history that has always linked Venice and Greece in the defence of Christian- and
especially national-identity (for example, the first President of the Republic of the Heptanesus,
1800, and of freed Greece, 1821, was a Greek-Venetian, Giovanni Antonio Capidistria).
The fourth exhibition will take place in Athens in December at the Epigraphic Museum and is entitled ΔΙΑΛΟΓΟΣ ('dialogue') as an indication and conclusion of the idea that history and the growth of culture come from a constant confrontation of positions both in the present and with the inescapable models of the past that live on in our memory.
