It is not a matter of a simple confession, but of a process of transformation: giving an aesthetic form to his own uneasiness, objectivizing it outside himself, and often succeeding in going beyond it. One of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Louise Bourgeois, throughout her life worked in her creations on her obsession with parental ghosts and on her own trauma to heal an original wound, always destined to reopen: \u201cArt is a guarantee of sanity,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe artist is able to bear his torment by making art.\u201d If the outcomes can be very different, the process is similar: sinking into one\u2019s own dark side and bringing some fragments back to light, and finally communicating the incommunicable. That is, consigning your ghost to the Other. little corpses of memory portraying the oppression of social relationships, uncertainty of gender, the suffering of those who cannot defend themselves from psychological and physical abuse. For years they have been Maurizio Ruggiano\u2019s visiting card, his secret and recurrent \u2018selfportrait\u2019.Thus, drawing freely on the repertoire of contemporary languages, Maurizio Ruggiano not only works out his own trauma, but leads us along an uncomfortable path, sometimes a disturbing one, into that healing mental region \u201cwhere art ends, and life begins.\u201d","space":"the project adapts to the proposed space, the optimal situation would be a room of 50 sqm by 40","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/288705503","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"maurizio","surname":"ruggiano","email":"mauruggiano@libero.it","dni_type":"Other","dni":"ag7307595","address":"Vicolo anna Liguastelli 1","city":"palermo","nacionality":"italiano","country_id":"113","birthdate":"1966-03-20T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1966-03-20T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"39 3334577523","web":null}
