Catalog created for the third edition of “C9 | art at court in September" at L'Ospitale di Rubiera (RE), 17 September - 16 October 2016, organized by the Tiziana Severi Arte Contemporanea gallery with the collaboration of Giorgia Beltrami and created with the patronage of the Municipality of Rubiera.

The “LAND | Emilia”, edited by Francesca Baboni and Stefano Taddei, includes three large works by important Emilian artists, recognized in Italy and abroad, compared with the works of a group of emerging artists who gravitate to the Emilian territory by birth or adoption, divided into three thematic areas: Nature, the Industry also linked to music and Humanity. Emphasizing the difference in techniques, of expression and vision of art between the two generations, these elaborations represent an ideal means for interpreting the contemporaneity that surrounds us.
For the Nature theme, Davide Benati dialogues with an installation by Alessandra Calò, small sculptures by Fabrizio Corbo and paper landscapes by Denis Riva. For Industry, with Andrea Chiesi's Gasometro the discussion of post-industrial spaces in Emilia is developed, which are linked to the post punk concerts at the time of Emilia Paranoica by CCCP led by Giovanni Lindo Ferretti and Massimo Zamboni, with whom the artist collaborated. The musical theme returns in Simone Fazio's “Still lifes of CD self-portraits”., in the setting of the video, gothic and dark, by Beatrice Pucci and on the covers of CDs and vinyls by Pier Lanzillotta and Flavio Biagi. Finally, the Humanity section focuses on the portrait, represented by a work from the “Nuovi Mantra” series by Omar Galliani, with which Massimiliano Galliani compares himself in a conceptual reworking of the face of the Mona Lisa, Giorgio Tentolini with portraits made by superimposing poultry wire mesh and Domenico Grenci with his bitumen physiognomies.
