The choice of the name “Artgender” derives from the consideration for which the brand that identifies a particular company that operates in the sectors of event planning, publishing and communication has never been used; for us art is a real type of human being, that is, who is deeper. Does not exclude anyone but renames a category, composed of very different people within… elsewhere I think, origin and direction; but, united by a single factor: the artistic one. Anyone can be or feel like an artist as long as he is concerned with producing or simply approaching any form of expression. Our identity is necessary, in things, in people, in words, in ways… that teaching contributes to formation ‘individual evolution.

Maman

Halloween Preview?

The decision to tell this famous sculpture today is not by chance 🕷

And yet, the purpose of this work is not to #frighten quite the contrary: as often happens, just go a little deeper and learn about the history of things to find out how different reality is from what it looks like.

☞ Do you know…

‣ The name of this gigantic spider – by Louise Bourgeois – is “Maman” which in French means #mother
In fact, the mammoth sculpture is not only completely harmless but rather represents motherhood. Because just like in our society this animal also plays a fundamental and protective role towards its children. It also symbolizes the #workingwoman as the “profession” of the spider is the weaver who was also a very common female trade in the past 🕸

 

‣ Measuring over 30 ft high and over 33 ft wide is among the world’s #largest sculpture and, in addition to bronze, the main element of which it is composed, it includes a sac containing 32 marble eggs. A very famous #tribute to the femininity and strength of women, exhibited today in different cities and in some of the most famous museums in the #world such as the Tate Modern of London, the Guggenheim of Bilbao and the Mori Art Museum of Tokyo
