From 17 June to 30 July 2023
On 17 June, the exhibition "IN TEMPORE - Painting from life in dialogue with the ancient in the Baths of Diocletian" by Margherita Lipinska, a contemporary artist, opens to the public, curated by the architect Cornelia Bujin. The event is promoted by ICAS, with the auspices of the Presidency of the Culture Commission of the Chamber of Deputies and the Roman National Museum, the patronage of the Polish Embassy in Italy and with the technical support of the Ludovico degli Uberti Foundation.
Margherita Lipinska was born in Poland where she graduated from the Gdansk Academy of Fine Arts. He won a scholarship from the La Sapienza University of Rome, the city where he has lived permanently since the early 1990s. His pictorial technique prefers the use of acrylic colors on plastered jute canvases or precious fabrics, he also relies on the use of different materials in order to make the works as material as possible. To make the most of this effect, the works often have no frame, thus taking on the appearance of a tapestry.
In places where the memory of the past is pervasive, contemporary artistic expressiveness takes on a decisive role in terms of the vitality of a space still full of living culture and not just of "memory" of the past. Therefore, the dialogue that is established in the exhibition space defines that narration that brings to the surface and relates the artist's historical stratifications and tensional disturbances, to which she gives shape through a new story.
Margherita Lipinska's work, in places where the past has its representative tangibility, arises from a long-considered reflection that needs an immediate manifestation.
The occasion of the exhibition "THE INSTANT AND ETERNITY", at the Baths of Diocletian in Rome, becomes for the Polish artist a unique occasion to give back to all of us "the intensity of the vision and the deep emotion" in giving shape to "a time" that is actualized and is no longer just memory.
