In Sardinia art is discovered on the radio with ‘Vincent’

by time news

Time.news – In Italy there is little talk of art and almost never with popular dissemination, much less on a medium without images such as the radio: this is why it is news that in Sardinia there is a radio that has chosen to make this bet. ‘Vincent all the colors of art’ is a radio format dedicated to art and its protagonists broadcast on Costa Smeralda International Radio with the support of Mad, a new art and design movement directed by Daniela Cittadini. The initiative met with surprising success in its first two years, bringing a breath of fresh air to the stagnant cultural season dominated by Covid.

The idea is simple: meet important artists, painters, sculptors, photographers, art philosophers, directors, gallery owners, writers and let them tell the concept of art and making art in a complex contemporaneity like the present one. The format was born from a dream in the drawer of Maria Pintorehistoric voice and director of the Sardinian radio station, awarded the City of Castelsardo 2021 prize for the experiments of Radio Internazionale Costa Smeralda.
“Talking about art with artists in a sometimes surreal and in some ways dystopian reality is a way of not making us stop dreaming and hoping through the imagination which is basically the essence of art”, says Daniela Cittadini .

The role of Luca Gatta

The meeting between her and Maria Pintore allowed the format to become a reality and now it has been added the precious collaboration of the Roman art philosopher Luca Gatta critic with a vitriolic pen, pungent and highly original. “I was impressed by his publications on artext and it is an honor for me to be able to collaborate with him,” says the director of the Mad. The Movement born in Olbia has been able to count from the beginning on two very refined and original artists: l’italo-iraniano Arian Nowbaharipainter and scientist in Norway, e the painter Daniel Rizzoa very skilled painter known for being the illustrator of the Blue Tree in Rai.

The next guests

The art characters who will soon alternate in ‘Vincent’ are of great depth: ranging from the great names of 20th century photography such as Giovanni Chiaramonte and Graziano Panfili to director Pietro Mereu who will talk about his new international works; from Aurelia Nudda Sardinian painter recently exhibited in New York to Giovanni Iudice, absolute protagonist of contemporary figurative painting included in the new edition of Treccani. His painting ‘Humanity’ was named the fifth estate after Volpedo’s fourth estate by Vittorio Sgarbi.
“Now I would like to get Vincent out of the Radio to bring art to the summer squares, with Daniela Cittadini we are working on it”, Maria Pintore anticipated.
