LECTURE ON THE ESSENCE OF SCULPTURE AT THE FOUNDATION CINI

I am delighted to have been invited this week to give a lecture/workshop on sculpture at the Foundation Cini during the Alpine Fellowship 2018. I am extremely fortunate to speak about the essence of sculpture to a cenacle of such beautiful minds. I am very moved to receive my fifth invitation, the Fellows are sacred to me. This is a view of the Foundation Cini through the Palazzo Ducale, this Island will be closed to the public and ours for three days.

ANOTHER BOOK PUBLISHED

So hysterically happy to see my art in a new publication graced with incredible texts by Sir Roger Scruton who wrote a sublime manuscript called The Point of Intersection of the Timeless with Time and other texts by Julian Spalding who is I believe the John Ruskin of our times and many other illuminated minds that I had the immense privilege to share the Fellowship with in the monastery of the Fondation Cini. Jacob Burda and Alan Lawson have created what is the highest cultural circle in Europe today where High Art and High Philosophy meet to create the future of Art. Like the president of the Foundation Cini Pasquale Gagliardi told me eloquently two days ago quoting Gustav Mahler, what we care about is ''the Fire of Tradition''. To follow the thought of Gustav Mahler, we are Adoring the fire and not the ashes. The Alpine Fellowship makes it every year more and more clear to the world that the Golden Age of culture is not lost. We will regain the right for art to be deep and sublime.

WINNER OF THE 2014 ALPINE FELLOWSHIP

I am honored to have won the 2014 Alpine Fellowship that will happen this year in a castle in Scotland. I look forward to share thoughts and perspective about Art , Religion , Atheology and Illuminism and why this four forces are meeting in the 21 century in the history of Art which I eagerly separate from the history of Anti-Art. I am thrilled to join the discussion with this group of scholars from Oxford University and Columbia University and professors of aesthetic one of which is one of England greatest philosopher  Roger Scruton , author of this wonderful show on the BBC '' Why Beauty Matters ''. In my opinion this group is the brain of the Avant-garde. I am delighted to have won this prize and I look forward to spend time with such beautiful minds.
