Uni Nuoro – Decamaster Room

In the first half of the eighties Remo Salvadori creates the first version of Continuous infinite present , a circular work, composed of an intertwining of steel wires, inspired by the possibility of a creation without breaks, without interruption, oriented towards a harmonization of spatial and temporal dimensions. From the moment of its first execution, the work becomes a constitutive element of the artist’s language and poetics, subsequently finding new forms of development, with variable dimensions and thicknesses, both inside museums and galleries, and outside, as public work of art.

For the MAN Museum Remo Salvadori imagined a participatory construction of the ring. The theoretical premises of a new paraphrase of Continuous Infinite Present will be shared with the public as part of a seminary which will see the participation of op cultural erators, architects and curators . The seminar will be followed by material construction of the work in the natural context of Mount Ortobene and the subsequent positioning in the rooms of the MAN, where the circle will find itself in dialogue with other works by the artist: Triad , The observer is not the object observed , In the moment .

Remo Salvadori’s project for the MAN Museum, with the participation of UniNuoro (Decamaster) and the Order of Architects of the Province of Nuoro , falls within the scope of the program The Maypole. Art nourishments, edited by Achille Bonito Oliva, under the patronage of EXPO Milan 2015, which will be presented simultaneously throughout the country on 10 October, on the occasion of XI Contemporary Art Day AMACI – Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museums, articulated in various interventions at public museums and private foundations, including the MAXXI in Rome, the MART in Rovereto, the Castello di Rivoli (Turin), the MADRE in Naples.
