Under the Burnt Walls

"Timeless. On the contrary, inside time. And beyond. It rains this light rain of words. Significant. Blunt. Stirring, most of all. / And then the images, evoked, drawn, painted. Strokes and shadows. Black. Intensity, liberty. And love. Thank you Stefano." Marco Mathieu, Writer and Journalist ("La Repubblica") - Milan (Italy) "Violent Dances Fade" (Libertarian Poetical Fragments) is a visual arts and poetry project born in Milan in 1996, further developed in London and currently active in New York. Violent Dances Fade intends to foreground different interpretative perspectives as an attempt to frame the terms of social debate. And the admission of the adoption of ethical assumptions becomes unavoidable, if the faced themes are liberty and love, essential constitutive personal element, but formidable tension in a political dimension. "Under the Burnt Walls" is a collection of thirty epigrams and paintings issued in 2010, with a foreword by Antonio Maria Costa.
