The Municipality of Dorgali in collaboration with the MAN presents, in the evocative setting of the rooms of the Cala Gonone Aquarium, the personal exhibition of Antonio Secci (Dorgali, 1944). The works on display retrace his most recent production, that of the last ten years, in the modalities and chromatic variations that make his stylistic signature emblematic and unmistakable.

A series of “glimpses for a possible space”, as Antonio Secci defines them, which more than an explanatory title, would seem to be a synthetic programmatic declaration, an aspiration towards a goal to be achieved, a poetic and human landing place, still beyond to come. Secci’s continues to be a typically romantic approach to art and life, a romanticism to be understood in the most canonical sense of the term, a continuous search for the opening to a possible “impossible” elsewhere.

All this, in spite of an apparent classicism inherent in the measured formal research and thoughtful operational practice that has always characterized his artistic production. The long and fascinating history of Secci, his acquaintances, his meetings, are now a concluded synthesis, the dialogue is with the sea and his land of origin, with the mountains and with the great blue expanse that is part of his daily life . The video accompanies the exhibition Antonio Secci, 2008, an intense interview carried out in the rooms of the MAN almost ten years after his solo exhibition at the Museum, in which the artist reveals some of the most intimate aspects of his poetics, and the monographic catalog which illustrates his entire production backwards with a rich apparatus photographic and critical.
