THERE ISN'T ANY SINGLE REALITY, NOR A UNIQUE WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS. SEEING THINGS FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES IS A VERY FRUITFUL WAY TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE WORLD, WITH OUR LIVING IN THIS WORLD. THE YOUNGSTERS FROM ATELIER DELL’ERRORE, A LABORATORY OF VISUAL ARTS CREATED 14 YEARS AGO AS A COMPLEMENTARY SERVICE TO THE CHILD NEUROPSYCHIATRIC CLINICS OF REGGIO EMILIA AND BERGAMO, KNOW THIS VERY WELL. THEIR CREATIVE IMAGINATION IS FOCUSED ON THE REPRESENTATION OF ANIMALS DEPICTED AS ANCESTRAL FIGURES, LIVING ORGANISMS FOREIGN TO ANY TRADITIONAL ORDER OF SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATION. THE ATELIER ANIMALS CERTAINLY EMBODY THE FEARS AND DEFEATS OF THOSE DRAWING THEM, BUT MORE SO THEIR NEED FOR PROTECTION AND THEIR POWERFUL DRIVE TOWARDS SELF-ASSERTION. ALIVE WITH A VISIONARY ENERGY, THE ATELIER WORKS SPRING OUT OF THE YOUNGSTERS' NEED FOR ASSURANCE AND SUPPORT TOWARD THEIR ACHIEVING SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-CONFIDENCE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FRUITFUL RELATIONAL SYSTEM WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
FOR THE EXHIBITION THE GUARDIAN ANIMALS + OTHER INVISIBLE BEINGS, MADE IN COOPERATION WITH COLLEZIONE MARAMOTTI AND MAX MARA, ATELIER DELL’ERRORE HAS FOUND A SUITABLE INTERLOCUTOR IN MORETTI FINE ART, THE GALLERY SPECIALISED IN IMPORTANT ITALIAN MASTERS, WHICH THANKS TO ITS CONSTANT RESEARCH, IS AN IMPORTANT POINT OF REFERENCE FOR COLLECTORS OF ANCIENT ART. IN THIS NEW PROJECT THE ATELIER DRAWINGS WERE ABLE TO STRIKE A PECULIAR DIALOGUE WITH CLASSICAL WORKS, SHOWING THAT SOME THEMES AND ARCHETYPES MOVE ACROSS ART HISTORY WITHOUT ANY TIME-BASED AND GEOGRAPHICAL CONSTRAINTS.

THE EXHIBITION ALSO INCLUDES THE BOOK ATLANTE DI ZOOLOGIA PROFETICA / PROPHETIC ZOOLOGICAL ATLAS(EDITED BY MARCO BELPOLITI, CORRAINI EDIZIONI PUBLISHER). THE BOOK, CONCEIVED AFTER THE EXHIBITION UOMINI COME CIBO (MILAN, JUNE – SEPTEMBER 2015), IS A SORT OF ATLAS WITH MANY PLATES OF THE ATELIER WORKS AND A SERIES OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY CONTRIBUTIONS ON ART AND THE SPECIFICITY AND EXCEPTIONALITY OF THE WORKS MADE BY THE ATELIER YOUNGSTERS.
