At “Tocatì”, Verona Game Festival, 22-24 September, Cittadellarte with the “Art at the Centre 2006” projects and Love Difference with the Table-Football by Diego Paccagnella, made in collaboration with FA.BI srl
Love Difference participates to the fourth edition of the Game Festival in Verona, 22-24 September 2006. In the historical center of the city, for three days cars disappear, giving room to games: this is the Tocatì (your turn), international festival of road-games. This year the festival hosts 50 different road-games; special guest will be Spain.
Love Difference and Cittadellarte will be present at the Tocatì with an interactive point, in representation of what is exposed until November 12 in Cittadellarte for the yearly exhibition Art at the Centre, which this year is dedicated to the game: projects using the game like an instrument for analysis, communication and participation in several fields of the social sphere. In Verona there will be the “Calcetto Love Difference” (Love Difference Table-Football), by artist Diego Paccagnella, made in collaboration with FA.BI srl, in which the traditional calcetto becomes a metaphor for the game of exchanges and relations between the countries facing the Mediterranean; “Europoly”, by Serbian artist Dejan Kaludgerovic, turning the game of Monopoly into an installation, in which we face the real difficulties of migrants aiming to obtain European citizenship; “Bocciami”, by Beatrice Catanzaro in collaboration with Michele Fontana, a project showing how the game of bocce in Milan becomes an occasion for discussing issues such as urban spaces.
Michelangelo Pistoletto brings in Verona his game-installations: “Ping-Pong - Segno Arte” and “Carta-pista” (“Paper-track”), a huge track for marbles in the shape of the Third Paradise symbol: an ideal and foretold place, in which Artifice and Nature are united, in a relationship of mutual respect. Michelangelo Pistoletto will take part in the congress at Chiostro di San Giorgio in Braida (Verona, 22 September, at 11,30 a.m.), where organizers and hosts of the Verona festival will discuss the role of art and game in the contemporary society.
