“167/B Street“, laboratorio artistico in continua mutazione, si prepara ad ospitare la mostra personale di Ida Vendola “SOUL WITHOUT EYES” a Lecce dal 9 al 23 Maggio 2014.
Lo spazio “167/B Street”, dedicato all’arte partendo dalla periferia, nasce nel quartiere popolare di Lecce 167/b dall’idea e dal carattere artistico di Chekos’art e Anna Kitlas.
Il laboratorio/spazio espositivo in continua mutazione, un work in progress all’interno del quale si alternano esposizioni dei lavori di artisti locali e internazionali, per aprire la città all’arte, al contemporaneo, seguendo tendenze e sperimentazione. In nome della mutevolezza dell’arte gli artisti rivoluzioneranno lo spazio attraverso personali installazioni.

Dopo le due precedenti mostre ad opera di Massimo Pasca e dello street artist Polacco NRK di Varsavia, la novità per la terza edizione è rappresentata dalla mostra personale di Ida Vendola intitolata “Soul without eyes”.
Ida Vendola nasce nel 1992 a Ruvo di Puglia e cresce a Terlizzi in provincia di Bari. Diplomata presso il Liceo Artistico G. De Nittis di Bari,attualmente frequenta il corso di Grafica presso l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Lecce.
Protagonisti delle sue illustrazioni grafiche sono soprattutto grandi personaggi del mondo dell’arte, della musica, del cinema, della cultura in generale, caratterizzati dall’assenza di occhi che, nonostante il cupo vuoto, arricchiscono l’anima del personaggio rendendolo riconoscibile. Il tratto, per quanto riguarda i chiaro scuri è nervoso, istintivo e avventato, non è studiato, mentre, c’è una cura attenta e minuziosa per particolari come capelli e barbe. “Souls without eyes” è la sua prima mostra personale.
Nella formula ormai collaudata, la mostra sarà inaugurata il 9 Maggio 2014 alle ore 20.00, in occasione della quale si svolgerà un aperitivo artistico musicale, presso la sede del laboratorio “167/b Street” in via Siracusa n. 68 a Lecce e rimarrà aperta al pubblico fino al 23Maggio 2014.
english:
Ida Vendola was born in 1992 in Ruvo di Puglia. She grew up in Terlizzi, in the Province of Bari. After obtaining her high school degree from the Liceo Artistico G. De Nittis, in Bari, she is currently undertaking her studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti, in Lecce.
The protagonists of Ida’s graphic illustrations are famous people from the world of the arts and culture, music, and cinema. The works are characterized by a dark emptiness created through these famous faces without their eyes. Despite this gloom, the absence enriches the soul of each protagonist rendering him recognizable. The chiaroscuro stroke used is nervous, instinctive, and reckless; it is not premeditated. While in contrast, the stroke on the hair and beard is acute and meticulous.
“Souls Without Eyes” is Ida’s debut exhibit.

Graffiti, stencil, disegni e collage, grazie alla guida di insegnanti esperti ed alla presenza già confermata di ospiti illustri di fama nazionale, diverranno strumenti di libertà e partecipazione mentre, grazie al corso di musica e scrittura creativa, i mille pensieri che affollano la mente di chi vive all’interno di una cella potranno diventare, nell’ottica di un lavoro coordinato e corale, il testo di un brano rap da scrivere, registrare e condividere.
Il corso di Street Art sarà curato da Francesco Ferreri e Ania Kitlas (167bstreet) mentre il corso di musica sarà gestito da Ennio Ciotta e Massimo Armenise.

STREET ART, PASSION E SOCIAL COMMITMENT
Street art, passion and social commitment
Street art reevaluates abandoned areas and gives educational messages for residents
used to material and moral decay“Every time we make a mural, we try to observe and gather as much information as possible about
the place. We build a path of innovation that goes beyond mural’s aesthetics, without taking away
the sense of identity which the place gives to the community.”“In our projects, we always try involving the locals.
Most of our works are made on buildings in a state of
decay, giving them new life. Many institutions have
understood the benefits: for the same price of a house
painter you can have a lot more.”http://www.salentoreview.it/street-art-passione-e-impegno-sociale/
