Frederika Roeder featured on XXVII Valcamonica Symposium 2021 poster.I am so thrilled to announce that my painting, Chestnut, was chosen for its poster by the XXVII Valcamonica Symposium, 2021 in Capo di Ponte, Valcamonica Italy.
The XXVII Valcamonica Symposium 2021 is a gathering of international experts on prehistoric rock art sites around the world. The Valcamonica Valley located on the Lombardy Plain in Italy has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. It has one of the world's greatest collections of prehistoric petroglyphs – more than 140,000 symbols and figures carved in the rock over a period of 8,000 years and depicting themes connected with agriculture, navigation, war, and magic. I became familiar with Valcamonica's extraordinary rock art during a self-directed artist's residency at the RUC Rural Residency for Contemporary Art. Directed by Giulia Mazzolani, former assistant to the director at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy for nearly a decade, RUC maintains a partnership with the Valcamonica Center of Prehistoric Studies (Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici). The two organizations created the poster for the symposium session dedicated to "Archaeology and Aesthetics" with a focus on how the prehistoric rock engravings influence contemporary artists' practices. While I had read about Valcamonica's rock art, I was not prepared for the visual and emotional intensity of seeing it in person. I can only describe my reaction as "awestruck". It was like being in a Gallery of Nature and sharing a deep spiritual moment with these ancient people. As an artist, the rock art was not only a reminder of the unchanging need of humanity to tell its stories through visual expression - but a reminder of the value of "drawing" in a minimal approach to art. |
