October 11 - November 8, 2015
Opening Sunday October 11, 2015 at 11:00 a.m.
Edizioni del Girasole – via G. Pasolini 45 – Ravenna - Italy
Hours of operation: 10:00 a.m. - 12:30, 4:00-6:00 p.m. Monday - Saturday; Sunday and holidays closed.
After the success of the previous editions of Bibliomosaico, hosted in Paray-le-Monial (France) July 2010, in Chartres (France) October 2012, in Riga (Latvia) June 2014, and in Obernai (France) August 2015, the review of the artist's books is back in its original venue with the same characteristics but with new works.
The exhibition Bibliomosaico was conceived by Rosetta Berardi in 2009 during the International Festival of Contemporary Mosaic RavennaMosaico; a thematic exhibition originated with the intention of stimulating mosaicists to think about the shape of a book meant to be the representation of a “book object”. That is the creation of a book which creates a desire to look at it but not to read it, a kind of “not a book”, a “book object”, a book which, although it has lost its content of words, has gained its own specific conceptual meaning of an open work with which the artist can create new forms. So it is not a question of a book that becomes a work of art but rather a work of art that suggests a book.
The works, made for the space that houses the Edizioni del Girasole, will be exhibited among the actual paper books.

Felice Nittolo
Felice Nittolo - Guest of Honor
at the 7th Biennale of Contemporary Mosaic Obernai
August 8 - September 6, 2015
Opening Saturday, August 8, at 11:00 a.m.
Cour Athic, Obernai, France
".... And for the love of mosaic, for the love of the poetry of the mosaics of Ravenna in particular, forty-five years ago, Felice Nittolo left his hometown Capriglia Irpina, Naples, to settle in the capital of mosaic and become a Ravennato, where the mosaic continued to seduce him, until it swallowed him completely. As some accede to religion, Felice Nittolo acceded to mosaic; mosaic has become his life. He teaches mosaic at the Art Institute. He writes about mosaic. He publishes papers on mosaic sharing his findings on the origins of the resurgence of mosaic in the last century in Ravenna and also publishes the only works available covering the great 20th Century masters of mosaic in Ravenna. He is curator of exhibitions in Ravenna where he opened the NiArt Gallery, Piazza Anastagi. NiArt Gallery is a place that - through many events - gave visibility to young artists who came from all over the world to study in Ravenna with the "After" project, which evolved from 1991 to 2001.
For the breadth of his work, for the relevance of his approach, Felice Nittolo is a singular artist. "Singularity is subversive," wrote Edmond Jabès. An artist who chooses the language of mosaic can be subversive? Or is the mosaic subversive by nature, because each tessera exists only for its singularity, its uniqueness, its difference in shape, cut, nature, inclination, and light compared to its neighbor one, and each element transmits its uniqueness to the whole? " . . . - Renee Malaval

BIBLIOMOSAICO
Libri d’artista in tessere musive
August 8 - September 8, 2015
International Mosaic Festival , Obernai, France
Artists involved: Karen Ami - Henry Noël Aubry - Gérard Brand - Sara Calfapietra – Silvia Casavecchia - Silvana Costa - Sophie Drouin - Giovanna Galli - Néstor Garramone - Sue Giannotti - Samantha Holmes - Pamela Irving - Sonia King - Toyoharu Kii - Artemis Klitsi - Pavlos Mavromatidis - Luciana Notturni - Matteo Randi - Sabine Schuele - Giovanna Tinnirello Sammito - Nikos Tolis - Stefano Mazzotti - Julie Richey - Verdiano Marzi - Matylde Trawcescka - Kazumi Kurihara - Kina Bogdanova - Felice Nittolo - Giuliano Babini - Valeria Ercolani - Arianna Gallo - Renée Malaval - Mélanie Lanoë - Atsou Suzumura - Elisa Simoni - Salvatore Sebaste - Teresa Pollidoro - Fernanda Tollemeto - Silvia Naddeo - Luca Barberini.
This exhibition is the brainchild of Bibliomosaico Rosetta Berardi, whose intention is to stimulate a reflection on the form of the book, on the representation of an object "book", which begs to be watched and read; a book "no book"; a "book object"; a book that despite having lost its content of words, has gained its own specific conceptual meaning of open work. It is an exercise in creativity which communicates, through the language of the mosaic, its own free expressive independence. This is not the book that becomes a work, but work that becomes or recalls the book.
