Comment by jeanine ferguson on March 7, 2011 at 5:42pm: I absolutely will send a piece of my work.

I agree that with you that non-traditional exhibit spaces are key to a vibrant world of art.

To come upon an unexpected piece of art or poetry is indeed a gift. Almost as if that piece of art sought you out rather than visa versa.

Comment by TIZIANA BARACCHI on March 7, 2011 at 1:10pm: From my window I see a famous plant...it is THE TREE OF POETRY.

The Tree of Poetry is a very uncommon species of plant; it is an American Maple, which is in Venezia-Mestre in 83/B Cavallotti Street, ITINERARI 80 Centre. Giancarlo Da Lio, inventor of ITINERARI 80 too, dedicated this Tree to Poetry in a lot of artistic Performances.

The Tree strikes its roots into the soil, but branches toward the light of the Sun: to be and to become.

Below its fronds sheets with verses in plastic envelopes, to preserve from rain, hung down. The poets read their lines in the shade of the Tree. And painters and sculptors put their works on walls and grass.

ITINERARI 80 is an artistic movement; from different trends many excellent artists gather strength around Giancarlo Da Lio. Moreover, as well as they work, they must manage their work making use of everything and everywhere.

Well, it is necessary to show works not only in the official galleries, but above all in the alternative art spaces: where people go and come, on the road, in the shops, in the gardens too: so the tree of Poetry was born and is growing.
