L ' Institut Français de Fès, and in particular its director Jean Dedolin, invites me for a residence d'artiste and for my photo exhibition with the theme of light. The title of the exhibition will
Extérieur Jour / Nuit Extérieur
Here is the schedule of events for the quarter: http://www. institutfrancaisfes.com / actionculturelle / prog-janv.pdf
photographs of architecture and landscape choice in a retrospective that runs from about 1992 to 2008, including also some black and white images made in the 90s, in Morocco during a long trek on the High Atlas. The theme is, of course, light, and it is less obvious than it sounds.
At the same time my presence in Fes, in about three weeks, will be dedicated to build a personal photo of reading the city, its places, its aspects.
Since 1999, I am regularly asked by France in particular - but not solely to develop and present projects, exhibitions and research creative expression through photography ... so many collaborations, many good opportunities, much knowledge and many friends ...
How does it feel? valued, appreciated, respected, recognized and acted upon.
What to say? thanks and thanks. GRATITUDE.
On the other hand ... never once was only possible to have a feedback post from a few Italian institute of culture, but I tried ... and I do not think just that we never try, also do not recommend anyone to try and correct at least in the usual ways ... maybe with the recommendations ... In New York and Paris, a few years ago, I also talked to a couple of directors: one seemed least negative, sad, at least as the institution itself in Paris and maybe even half depressed, the other the conversation took a different turn and cordially told me that he liked to be in New York because the flight was his passion and it was cheaper to fly there than in Italy ...
how it feels in these cases? bad, pretty bad, but it surpasses it.
Viva civilians in those countries where culture, creativity, the arts are still an added value and are truly respected.
