La prima prende forma nel cortile della Chiesa del Foppone \u2013 dove nell\u2019edizione precedente si trovava l\u2019intervento del duo Ornaghi&Prestinari – uno spazio aperto, esposto, dove la monumentalit\u00e0 dell\u2019intervento dialoga con l\u2019austerit\u00e0 dell\u2019architettura. Qui, Monterastelli costruisce una scena simbolica e potente: il linguaggio plastico dell\u2019artista restituisce un\u2019immagine compressa e allo stesso tempo espansa del presente, in cui le forme dure si fanno carico di riflessioni pi\u00f9 ampie sul tempo, sul potere, sulla fragilit\u00e0 della struttura sociale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In contrasto, pi\u00f9 intimo e raccolto, \u00e8 l\u2019intervento pensato per le cantine di Palazzo Fodri \u2013 concessione di Fondazione Citt\u00e0 di Cremona: un ambiente carico di stratificazioni e memorie, riattivato per l\u2019occasione attraverso un gesto artistico che unisce installazione, luce e dando sfogo ad un intervento leggiadro con l\u2019uso della litofania. Qui Monterastelli costruisce un\u2019atmosfera immersiva, quasi teatrale, dove la materia perde la sua rigidit\u00e0 per assumere contorni pi\u00f9 sfumati e ambigui. I giochi di luce e ombra scolpiscono lo spazio in tempo reale, trasformando il gesto scultoreo in un\u2019esperienza percettiva avvolgente.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La vocazione scultorea di questa edizione di Cremona Contemporanea | Art Week trova una delle sue espressioni pi\u00f9 potenti nella presenza di Luca Monterastelli, artista che da anni esplora le possibilit\u00e0 della materia, mettendola al centro di un’indagine profonda sul rapporto tra forma, spazio e significato.

His practice revolves around solid, hard, at times brutal materials\u2014concrete, iron, steel\u2014that he nonetheless manages to bend into a rigorous and contemplative poetics, made of tensions, volumes, and absences.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Monterastelli has always worked at the intersection of sculpture and architecture, questioning their spatial identity to generate works that seem to emerge from the context and for the context. For this edition of <\/span>Cremona Contemporanea<\/span><\/i>, the artist presents two new site-specific installations conceived for locations steeped in meaning and memory.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n The first takes shape in the courtyard of the Church of Foppone\u2014where the previous edition featured a work by the duo Ornaghi&Prestinari\u2014an open, exposed space where the monumentality of the intervention enters into dialogue with the austerity of the architecture. Here, Monterastelli constructs a symbolic and powerful scene: the artist\u2019s plastic language conveys a compressed and simultaneously expanded image of the present, where hard forms carry broader reflections on time, power, and the fragility of social structure.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n In contrast, more intimate and enclosed, is the intervention created for the cellars of Palazzo Fodri\u2014generously provided by the Fondazione Citt\u00e0 di Cremona: an environment rich in layers and memories, reactivated for the occasion through an artistic gesture that combines installation and light, culminating in a graceful litophany-based intervention. Here Monterastelli builds an immersive, almost theatrical atmosphere, where matter loses its rigidity to take on more nuanced and ambiguous contours. Light and shadow sculpt the space in real time, transforming the sculptural gesture into an enveloping perceptual experience.<\/span><\/p>","pdf_artista":"","location":[1109,1067]},"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.cremonacontemporanea.eu\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CAW_29-1024x683.jpg\")
