ABOUT

Federica Marangoni, veneziana attiva internazionalmente, pioniera negli anni ’60 ’70 della ricerca nei cosiddetti nuovi materiali, materie plastiche, neon e video che hanno segnato l’espressione artistica delle generazioni dopo Duchamp, esprime attraverso le sue simbologie primarie, un’analisi profonda della vita e della morte con la quale l’uomo deve sempre confrontarsi; vedi ciclo delle performances con le cere e la torcia, culminato con un invito al Moma di New York nel 1980 e alla Biennale di Venezia, sempre nello stesso anno, dove presenta l’installazione video “ La vita è tempo e memoria del Tempo”, 2 CH Video su VHS, corpo in cera elettrificato, autoritratto gigante in serigrafia su plexiglass.

Il supporto tecnologico rappresenta nel lavoro di FM, la terza dimensione che è stata resa possibile all’Arte del nostro tempo, il movimento, la vitalità e l’emozionalità della società contemporanea.

Vetro grezzo per la fusione, o lavorato, specchio o lastra industriale, accoppiato con arte, al neon o ad uno schermo TV, con la sua fredda luce tecnologica e illusoria mobilità delle immagini, sono la perfetta metafora del pensiero dell’artista: concettualità e antimonumentalità, l’effimero della luce e della trasparenza che sono significato di libertà. “ La luce è sempre libera”, titolo dell’opera pubblica del 2004 a S.Cruz de Tenerife, Spagna.

Professore aggiunto alla New York University Art Departement dal 1976 al 1990, ha tenuto lectures in molte università degli Stati Uniti dove ha lavorato con importanti gallerie e Istituti e recentemente installato l’opera pubblica “ The Tree of Life”, al 211 E 70th st alla 3° Avenue.

The Venetian Artist FM, venetian operating internationally, was a pioneer in the 1960s and 1970s in researching in the so-called new materials; plastic materials, neon and video which marked the artistic expression of the generations following Duchamp, always conceptual art aimed also at expressing a social commitment, a profound analysis of life and death, which man has always had to face. As in the cycle of performances with wax and the torch as media, were the audience could assist to the burning and consumption of the Artist wax body, which culminating in an invitation at the Moma of New York in 1980 and in the same year to the Venice Biennale, where she used the video, electrified body in wax and self portrait on silk-screened Plexiglas panel, two CH TV, video on VHS, “Life is Time and Memory of Time”.

The technological support represent in FM work , he third dimension that has been given to art in our time; movement, life and emotiveness of contemporary society.

Raw in its state of scrap for melting, or processed, mirrors or industrial sheets, which, together with neon or a TV screen, with its cold technological light and the floating and illusory mobility of the images, is a perfect metaphor for the thoughts of the artist: conceptuality and anti- monumentality, the ephemeral of light and transparency which meaning is Freedom: “ Light is always free”.
