FAME (eng)
the state or quality of being widely honored
and acclaimed, favorable public reputation (ita = fama
successo)
FAME (ita)
bisogno molesto di mangiare, carestia, grande miseria, grande desiderio
(eng = starvation, hunger)
fame festival
refers to the ironic difference in the meaning of the word 'fame' between the italian and english language.
in italian, 'fame' means 'hunger', while in english
it is understood as 'an honour and status of success'.
'fame festival' is a meeting of a dozen international artists in the
small italian city of grottaglie.
famous for its ancient ceramics tradition, there is a whole area
exclusively dealing with ceramics production.
fame wants to promote a new point of view on the original structure of the city.
while local politicians and institutions 'only care about
their personal interests', the organizers would like to re-asset the city's
original context and call for proper recognition. the idea is to host a few artists for variable lengths of
time (from 1 to 4 weeks)
and to offer them the cooperation of local
artisans for the production of pottery works and limited edition
prints. furthermore,
the artists have at their
disposal several 'canvas' walls around the city in order to 'upgrade a
few areas which are aesthetically depressed'.
at the end of their stay, when everything is created (including new original artworks, screenprints and ceramic pieces), a final
group show
will be organized.
