Cara Santa Lucia at Officina Leo Van Moric, Parma, Italy
Cara Santa Lucia
Saturday, 3 and Sunday, 11 December 2022
5 - 8 pm
Officia Leo Van Moric
Viale Gramsci 17/E- Parma
(ITALIAN VERSION BELOW)
On these two dates, we will present, in cooperation with the Association Serpaglio Lichtenberg from Bedonia (PR), works of art for affordable prices and as an option for a gift under the Christmas tree.
The evening will be accompanied by a friendly game of Natalino.
Bring along a recycled object from your home that you no longer need or no longer like, but neatly wrapped as a Christmas present. Through a quiz of Art and Music questions we will exchange these wonders among ourselves and ensure great fun.
The 'Cara Santa Lucia' project is the brainchild of a German-Italian couple who were already gallery owners in Milan: Bianca Maria Rizzi and Matthias Ritter. And from their meeting with Virginio Mori, a multi-faceted person linked to the world of IT and a great art lover.
Matthias and Bianca Maria's shared story began in southern India back in 1995, where they met during a holiday and have not been apart since.
She with a background as a goldsmith and jewellery designer and he as a photographer and geologist, they embarked on a career as contemporary art gallery owners in the great Milan of the early 2000s, gathering the best and youngest instances from the Germanic and Italian contemporary world and in particular acting as talent scouts for numerous artists now internationally renowned such as Jens Lorenzen and Kinki Texas.
In 2010, they adopted two children from Ukraine and in 2019, after almost 15 years in a gallery in Milan, they decided to move to the Apennines, to Bedonia, the birthplace of Bianca's grandfather. In 2021 they take action to bring a little artistic movement to the Val Taro and conceive a first festival that, like the couple has a bi-national name: Arte Kunst Val Taro. The intention is to bring high-level tourism to the valley, exploiting the presence of numerous vacant shops in the villages and transforming them into art workshops for the festival period.
In the same year, they got to know Virginio Mori through Bianca's brother, Piero Rizzi Bianchi, and a mutual friend, the Reggio Emilia painter Fabio Iemmi, and they decided to pursue the path of various art forms together, founding together the Associazione Serpaglio Lichtenberg.
This year they won the competition of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Parma for the Festival Arte Kunst Val Taro Plus 2022 with the newly founded association.
They believe that this is the moment to 'storm' Parma, the provincial capital with a funny and ironic exhibition presented by the association, to bring the good name of Bedonia to Parma as well. Here we are!
ITALIAN VERSION
In queste due date, presentiamo in collaborazione con l`Associazione Serpaglio Lichtenberg di Bedonia (PR) opere d’arte per prezzi accessibili e come opzione per un regalo sotto l’albero di Natale.
La serata sarà accompagnata da un simpatico gioco del Natalino.
Portate con voi un oggetto riciclato da casa Vostra che non Vi serve o che non Vi piace più, però ben impacchettato come un regalo di Natale. Attraverso un quiz di domande su Arte e Musica ci scambiamo queste meraviglie tra di noi e Vi assicuriamo un grande divertimento.
Il progetto “Cara Santa Lucia” nasce dall’idea di una coppia italo-tedesca già galleristi a Milano: Bianca Maria Rizzi e Matthias Ritter. E dal loro incontro con Virginio Mori, persona dalle mille sfaccettature legata al mondo dell’informatica e grande appassionato di arte.
La storia comune di Matthias e Bianca Maria ha avuto inizio nel sud dell’India nel lontano 1995, dove si sono conosciuti durante una vacanza e da allora non si sono più separati.
Lei con un passato da orafa e designer di gioielli e lui da fotografo e geologo, intraprendono la carriera di galleristi di arte contemporanea nella grande Milano dei primi anni 2000, raccogliendo le migliori e giovani istanze del mondo contemporaneo germanico e italiano ed in particolare fungendo da talent scout di numerosi artisti oggi di fama internazionale come Jens Lorenzen e Kinki Texas.
Nel 2010 adottano due bambini dall’Ucraina e nel 2019, dopo quasi 15 anni di galleria a Milano decidono di trasferirsi in Appennino, a Bedonia, paese d’origine del nonno di Bianca. Si attivano per portare un poco di movimento artistico alla Val Taro e concepiscono un primo festival che, come la coppia avrà un nome bi-nazionale: Arte Kunst Val Taro 2021. L’intenzione è quella di portare in valle un turismo di livello, sfruttando la presenza di numerosi negozi sfitti nei paesi e trasformandoli, per il periodo del festival, in botteghe d’arte.
Nello stesso anno conoscono Virginio Mori attraverso il fratello di Bianca, Piero Rizzi Bianchi ed un comune amico pittore reggiano Fabio Iemmi e decidono di proseguire insieme il percorso legato alle varie forme d’arte e fondano insieme l’Associazione Serpaglio Lichtenberg.
Quest’anno vincono il Bando della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Parma per il Festival Arte Kunst Val Taro Plus 2022 con la neonata associazione.
Ritengono che questo sia il momento di “dare l’assalto” al capoluogo di provincia con una mostra divertente ed ironica presentata dall’associazione, per portare il buon nome di Bedonia anche a Parma. Eccoci qua!

WORLDRECORDS are the greatest albums in music history highlighted: on record players that partly became legendary too.
WORLDRECORDS is meant to be a tribute to analogue acoustic art, a homage to the warmest, perhaps most sensitive type of sound carrier. In a way – and that makes the photo series so special – it is also a private time machine to the spectator: music as an impulse to remember bits and pieces of one's personal history, a release of former thoughts and feelings. The soundtrack of your life.
From a formal point of view, the precise approach down to the last detail finds its ideal expression in large format. Each groove, each label notice, each tone arm component is oversized and thus nearly tangible. The special light Kai Schäfer has developed for WORLDRECORDS contributes a great deal to make these effects real.
The photo series the artist started with in 2010, today includes around 100 pictures. At the beginning of the series "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list selected by the "Rolling Stone Magazine" helped Schäfer choosing the most adequate titles. Later on, he went on by himself to add albums that in his opinion should take part of his Worldrecords.
The work on this series allowed him to meet and collaborate with various musicians such as Lou Reed, Neil Diamond, The B-52`s, Joy Division, Motörhead, Metallica and numerous German Top Acts as Kraftwerk, Die Fantastischen Vier, Herbert Grönemeyer, CRO, Die Fehlfarben, BAP, Extrabreit, Die Toten Hosen and many more. In this interview the artist talks about his work and some anecdotes of his career.

Dina Goldstein - One day and two weeks in Alessandria
OPUS IN ARTEM e l`Associazione Serpaglio Lichtenberg
in collaborazione con Alezon + ideAle2050
è lieta di annunciare:
DINA GOLDSTEIN: ONE DAY IN ALESSANDRIA!
mostra flash - solo martedì 29 marzo 2022 - dalle 16 alle 22
c/o ideAle2050 - via Alessandro III 33 - Alessandria
LA MOSTRA FLASH: CI SONO COSE CHE CAPITANO UNA SOLA VOLTA NELLA VITA:
...come avere ad Alessandria, anche solo per una manciata di ore, un’accurata selezione delle opere di Dina Goldstein, visual artist israeliana di fama mondiale.
Grazie all'immenso successo della mostra flash di solo una serata con opere di Dina Goldstein presso l'associazione ideAle2050 ad Alessandria è stato deciso di prolungare l'esposizione di altre due settimane partendo con un’apericena offerto dal Ristorante Napoleon oggi, 32 marzo 2022 dalle ore 18 alle ore 22!
PERCHÉ DINA GOLDSTEIN IN ALESSANDRIA?
Venite alla mostra flash e ve lo racconteremo. Quando? Solo martedì 29 marzo 2022, dalle ore 16.00, in Via Alessandro III, si svela “DINA GOLDSTEIN: ONE DAY IN ALESSANDRIA!” la mostra flash dell’artista nata nel 1969 a Tel Aviv (Israele), che vive e lavora a Vancouver (Canada). La mostra è curata da Bianca Maria Rizzi e Matthias Ritter di “Opus in Artem” che avrete il piacere di conoscere personalmente, e organizzata in stretta collaborazione con ideAle2050 che ospita l’evento e con Alezon che l’ha reso possibile.
CHI SONO "OPUS IN ARTEM", "IDEALE 2050" E "ALEZON"?
Bianca Maria Rizzi e Matthias Gernot Ritter, dopo 15 di attivitàà come galleristi d’arte contemporanea a Milano, fondano nel 2016 Opus in Artem, che è stato originariamente concepito come una piattaforma di informazione, consulenza, ricerca e intermediazione nel settore artistico internazionale. Opus in Artem crea delle sinergie tra artisti, gallerie, curatori, musei, associazioni d’arte, fondazioni, collezionisti e aziende private. Bianca Maria Rizzi e Matthias Gernot Ritter sono tra i soci fondatori dell’Associazione Artistico-Culturale Serpaglio Lichtenberg a Bedonia nella provincia di Parma. ideAle2050 è l’Associazione di Promozione Sociale nata per disegnare oggi l’Alessandria che verrà: un manipolo di giovani e meno giovani creativi di tutti i settori, un laboratorio di idee, un link per tutte le associazioni, uno spazio per tutte le arti. Alezon è Alezon.
COSA AVREMO LA FORTUNA DI AMMIRARE?
Avremo la fortuna, per poche ore, di ammirare i making of e alcune delle migliori opere di Dina Goldstein, tableau fotografici in cui immagini stupefacenti si combinano con una forte critica sociale. L’artista costruisce narrazioni complesse, che rivisitano gli archetipi incarnati da personaggi di fantasia per contestualizzare la cultura di massa. Oltre alle sue qualitàà estetiche, il lavoro della Goldstein è un feroce e ironico studio sociologico, mettendo in discussione i valori artificiali e costruiti della società contemporanea. Altamente controversi, i progetti di Dina Goldstein creano continuamente dibattito e dialogo a livello internazionale sulle piattaforme dei social media, sulle riviste e sui giornali. Il suo lavoro è stato affrontato in numerosi saggi e dissertazioni e nel giornalismo artistico, ed è studiato e insegnato nelle scuole d'arte, nei programmi di fotografia e negli studi di genere e d’ambito femminista.
QUALI E QUANTI I CAPOLAVORI ESPOSTI?
La serie "Fallen Princesses" consiste in dieci fotografie che ritraggono altrettante principesse Disney e altri personaggi delle fiabe collocati in un ambiente moderno. Il lavoro esamina elementi della condizione umana e crea una metafora dei miti delle fiabe, costringendo lo spettatore a contemplare la vita reale nei suoi aspetti meno idilliaci: sogni falliti, la fallacia di inseguire un'eterna giovinezza, l'obesità, il cancro, l'estinzione delle culture indigene, l'inquinamento, il degrado degli oceani e la guerra. Abbracciando le texture e i colori creati da Walt Disney, che ha costruito un impero multimiliardario sfruttando queste fiabe, il lavoro mette in discussione il classico leitmotiv idealistico disneyano «…E vissero tutti felici e contenti».
Con questa serie, realizzata tra il 2007 e il 2009, Dina Goldstein ha raggiunto il suo successo internazionale nel mercato dell'arte, collezionando numerose apparizioni televisive e contributi che l'hanno resa famosa in breve tempo. Alle principesse si aggiunge una selezione di opere della serie Gods of Suburbia del 2014, che rappresenta la terza serie a tema creata da Dina Goldstein: un'analisi visiva della fede religiosa nel contesto delle forze moderne della tecnologia, della scienza e del secolarismo. Dina utilizza archetipi dell'inconscio collettivo e dell'iconografia religiosa e li colloca in ambienti contemporanei. Il progetto sfida lo spettatore - religioso o laico - a intraprendere un viaggio mistico di auto-riflessione.
Insomma, uno spettacolo.

Dina Goldstein - Gods & Princesses in the Taro Valley
Opus in Artem presents
OPUS IN ARTEM IN ITINERE III
Dina Goldstein – Gods & Princesses
Borgo Val di Taro, Via Nazionale 28
The exhibition was organized in close cooperation with the
Municipality of Borgo Val di Taro
Saturday 12 February 2022, at 6.30 p.m., in Via Nazionale 28 in Borgo Val di Taro, the opening of Gods & Princesses, a solo exhibition by Dina Goldstein, an artist born in 1969 in Tel Aviv (Israel), who lives and works in Vancouver (Canada). The exhibition is curated by Bianca Maria Rizzi and Matthias Ritter of "Opus in Artem", and organised in close collaboration with the Municipality of Borgo Val di Taro.
Dina Goldstein creates large-scale tableau photography that combines visually stunning imagery with social critique. She constructs complex narratives that examine Archetypes within fictional characters to define and contextualize pop culture today. Her work not only carries influential artistic merit, but also serves to be a sociological study, as it questions the artificial values pop culture embeds in our society. Highly controversial, Dina Goldstein’s projects have garnered and continuously creates dialogue internationally within social media platforms, in magazines and newspapers. The work has been subject to many written essays, dissertations, and mentioned in various literature. These projects are studied and taught in art schools, photography programs, Gender and feminist studies.
The exhibition Gods & Princesses in Borgo Val di Taro features works from the series The Fallen Princesses and Gods of Suburbia.
The series Fallen Princesses consists of 10 photographs depicting Disney Princesses and other Fairy Tale characters placed within a modern environment. The work examines elements of the human condition and creates metaphor out of the myths of fairy tales, forcing the viewer to contemplate real life: failed dreams, the fallacy of chasing eternal youth, obesity, Cancer, the extinction of indigenous cultures, pollution, ocean degradation and war. By embracing the textures and colors created by Walt Disney, which built a multi-billion-dollar empire exploiting these fairy tales, the work questions the notion of the idealistic 'Happily Ever After' motif, composed by Disney, and spoon fed to children throughout the world.
With this series Dina Goldstein achieved her international breakthrough in the art market.
The series brought Goldstein numerous TV appearances and contributions and made her famous in a short time.
Watch here a few examples: Fanny Kiefer Show / CTV / Spain Mega TV / CBS ART Canada
The princesses are joined by a selection of works from the 2014 Gods of Suburbia series, which is the third themed series created by Dina Goldstein.
This is Dina Goldstein’s third large-scale project. The work is a visual analysis of religious faith within the context of the modern forces of technology, science, and secularism. Dina utilizes archetypes from within the collective unconscious, and from religious iconography, and places them into contemporary environments. The project challenges the viewer — religious or secular to embark on a journey of self-reflection as they contemplate the relevance of ancient ethics and morals in a society characterized by materialism and consumerism.
Watch here the Making of and behind the scenes-Video and this interview with Dina Goldstein about the series.
It should be noted that the exhibition is part of the Opus in Artem in Itinere exhibition concept, which is inspired by the "Freiraum" initiative already successfully implemented in Germany in the early 1990s, in the period immediately after German reunification, when large unused spaces in East German cities were allocated to cultural and artistic projects: with the consequence, also, of attracting investors and private buyers to the various properties and promoting their reconstruction.
Opus in Artem In Itinere works in a similar way, using temporarily vacant shops and shops to bring international art and culture to various points in the Taro Valley. The project involves using an exhibition space for a maximum of three months, after which the initiative moves to another location in the valley. Evidently, this concept can only work in collaboration with the owners of the exhibition sites, who make them available rent-free, embracing the idea that art can help improve the cultural but also the economic life of the valley's citizens.
In turn, the owner can use both the current exhibition and the related images and promotional material to market his property, which greatly increases the possibility of generating interest in it.
The international art exhibited in the valley attracts professionals and collectors, even from sometimes distant cities such as Milan, Bergamo, Parma, Piacenza, La Spezia and Genoa: qualified people who would probably never have come to our area without this cultural offer. These, in turn, bring business to local shops and restaurants, and return to their towns with positive impressions of the Taro Valley, which they will spread and tell others about, thus creating a virtuous circle effect.

Worldrecords by Kai Schäfer at Masterpiece Art London
Masterpiece Art, London holds the UK debut of esteemed German photo artist Kai Schäfer
The gallery moves into 2022 with an exhibition of the wonderfully nostalgic 'WORLDRECORDS' series
London, December 2021: Masterpiece Art London, in collaboration with Opus in Artem from Bedonia (PR), Italy, present the UK debut of esteemed German artist Kai Schäfer and his wonderfully nostalgic series 'WORLDRECORDS'.
Iconic vinyl harmonises with the beauty of its turntable counterpart, creating visual poetry which evokes the memories & dreams attached to our favourite albums, songs, musicians, and everything personal that they symbolise – all captured through Schäfer’s lens.
In reality, the vinyl & the turntable in unison, create that music which feeds our audible soul. However, via the works of Schäfer, our soul's multitude of senses are activated instantaneously. The synergy of associated subconscious memories and feelings makes the rhythm palpable.
On exhibition will be a varied selection true to the notion of WORLDRECORDS, however with an accent on the City of London and its rich, unique musical history. Displayed at Masterpiece Art's Holland Park gallery, an area home to many famous singers, musicians & music producers, the exhibition offers the learned UK audience a first opportunity to connect with this wholly inspirational collection, on home soil.
In anticipation of what would have David Bowie's 75th birthday in January 2022, Schäfer is honouring the 'wild-eyed boy from London' in his hometown, with the release of the iconic album 'Station to Station', written in 1975, as the newest addition to the WORLDRECORDS series.
About Kai Schäfer
A photo artist born in 1969 in Solingen, Germany. Kai created the WORLDRECORDS in 2010 as an ongoing series of highly detailed photography of original vinyl, harmonised on iconic turntables. Offering mutual appreciation for the records as for the turntables - themselves magnificent constructions adopting an architectural role - the inevitable nostalgia is felt by each dedicated music fanatic. WORLDRECORDS strikes a personal chord with every member in its audience. He lives with his partner, an interior architect, and their son in Düsseldorf, Germany.
