Art 4 Tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cultural project connecting San Francesco Village and BiVillage<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

We asked two artists to interpret this journey, drawing a path between Italy and Croatia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An invisible line <\/strong>that unites, through water, two nations and in particular two seaside towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrico Marcato<\/strong> and Monica Patrovic<\/strong>, are the artists who have been selected to draw this line between Italy and Croatia <\/strong>as part of the “Art 4 Tomorrow” project initiated by BiHoliday.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t

Venetian “briccole” at the BiVillage<\/h2>\n

The first part of “I say Art<\/strong>” started with Enrico Marcato’s art project for the BiVillage, in Croatia.<\/p>\n

Three \u201cbriccole\u201d<\/strong>, first exhibited in Venice on the occasion of the recent Biennale Arte exhibition, have been resettled from the atelier of the artist Enrico Marcato to a stretch of coastline in Croatia, at the BiVillage.<\/p>\n

“Painting has always fascinated me<\/em>” explains the artist, emphasising that “working on the transformation of the boat was a great challenge<\/em>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a matter of fact, once the colours and shapes to be drawn were decided, the work was done with the boat upside down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it was necessary to imagine the end result<\/strong> “straight” and then put it on the upside-down \u201cbatana\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The central element <\/strong>of this art project – as already emphasised – is cultural exchange<\/strong>: the boat <\/strong>built in Fa\u017eana is now in Caorle, at the San Francesco Village<\/strong>, and Marcato’s “briccole” in Fa\u017eana at the BiVillage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A beautiful friendship, the one between Italy and Croatia: the sea connects us, but not only.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
