Best known for his lifelong commitment to medicine and medical humanities\, Comel emerges as a visionary patron and a distinguished collector. \nThe selection of masterpieces included paintings by Gerolamo Induno\, Moses Levy\, Giovanni Lomi\, Arturo Tosi\, Lorenzo Delleani\, Giuseppe Pallanti\, Carlo Sbisà and Arturo Nathan\, as well as works on paper by Telemaco Signorini\, Mario Sironi\, Filippo De Pisis and Renato Guttuso. Furthermore\, the show unveiled a suite of drawings by American artist Linda Karshan\, belonging to various stages of her career. Forming the core of her prestigious gift to the Fondazione Comel\, these magnificent artworks document the relevance of Comel’s collection in the present and its impact upon future generations. \nCatalogue Artemide edited by Giulia Martina Weston.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1729076671670{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]”La cultura è fondamentalmente unità spirituale” / Culture is fundamentally a spiritual unity \nMarcello Comel\, De Humanis Humane (1976) \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column] [/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://acla.fondazionecomel.org/event/art-exhibition-legacies-and-visions-from-comel-to-karshan/ LOCATION:Domus Comeliana\, Pisa CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://acla.fondazionecomel.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Evento.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221013 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221017 DTSTAMP:20260619T210751 CREATED:20240119T103927Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240920T110536Z UID:25166-1665619200-1665964799@acla.fondazionecomel.org SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: The Universe on Paper.

Born in Minneapolis (Minnesota) in 1947\, Linda Karshan was educated at Skidmore College\, Saratoga Springs\, New York\, from 1965 to 1966\, under the tuition of the architect Robert Reed\, a pupil of Josef Albers (1888-1976)\, a founding member of the Bauhaus. As an émigré\, Albers was a protagonist of Geometrical Abstract painting in America.\nKarshan’s subsequent studies at the Sorbonne in Paris\, the Slade School of Art in London and the Antioch Centre for British Studies\, London deepened her expertise in art history\, especially Renaissance Art\, and in psychology. Notably\, her MA thesis of 1983\, entitled Play\, Creativity and the Birth of the Self\, focused on Donald W. Winnicott’s theories of transitional space and creativity\, which are central to Karshan’s artistic practice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top”][vc_column][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1590571662912{margin-right: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text]In 1994\, Linda Karshan developed a performance-based method to bring her drawings into existence. Guided by what she has termed her ‘inner choreography’\, the artist draws freehand\, standing at a table\, and\, despite being left-handed\, uses her right. As she reaches forward with her graphite pencil\, her left leg rises up naturally\, so she balances like a ballerina in an arabesque and draws a line to a rhythm of 1-2\, 3-4\, 5-6\, 7-8. She then goes back over it\, and makes a 90-degree anticlockwise turn of the paper. Thus freed\, or – better – found\, Karshan’s iterative images of intersecting lines\, geometrical shapes and organic patterns stem from her rhythmic breathing\, her anticlockwise turn of the paper\, and the motion of her entire body and mind.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1590571667512{margin-left: 15px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top” custom_css_code=”LndwYi1qcy1jb21wb3NlciUyMCU0MGlkJTIwLnZjX3R0YS52Y19nZW5lcmFsLnZjX3R0YS1hY2NvcmRpb24udmNfdHRhLXN0eWxlLXNpbXBsZV9zb2xpZCUyMC52Y190dGEtcGFuZWwlMkIudmNfdHRhLXBhbmVsJTIwJTdCJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwYm9yZGVyLXRvcCUzQSUyMDFweCUyMHNvbGlkJTIwJTIzZGZlNWU4JTNCJTBBJTdE”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1590571756877{margin-right: 15px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1590571752497{margin-left: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text]The show aims to shed light on the path pursued by Linda Karshan over several crucial decades of artistic output by presenting a selection starting from a large work of 1983 and culminating in a suite of drawings of 2021\, created during the Covid-19 pandemic. \nAll the pieces presented are on paper\, and testify to the consistency of Karshan’s personal marks – particularly the constructive element of the grid\, either manifest or implied – and the recurrence of seemingly geometrical patterns such as circles\, squares or lozenges.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top”][vc_column][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1590571662912{margin-right: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Karshan’s oeuvre naturally resonates with chiefly humanistic preoccupations such as the relationship between micro and macrocosms\, the dialectics of gravity and grace\, and an understanding of the body as measure of the universe. \nDisplayed in the prestigious venue of the Domus Comeliana in Pisa – in the first exhibition hosted by the Institutio Santoriana – Fondazione Comel – Karshan’s works become a testament to contemporary humanism.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1590571667512{margin-left: 15px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1587051302928{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 118px !important;}”][vc_column] [/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top” custom_css_code=”LndwYi1qcy1jb21wb3NlciUyMCU0MGlkJTIwLnZjX3R0YS52Y19nZW5lcmFsLnZjX3R0YS1hY2NvcmRpb24udmNfdHRhLXN0eWxlLXNpbXBsZV9zb2xpZCUyMC52Y190dGEtcGFuZWwlMkIudmNfdHRhLXBhbmVsJTIwJTdCJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwYm9yZGVyLXRvcCUzQSUyMDFweCUyMHNvbGlkJTIwJTIzZGZlNWU4JTNCJTBBJTdE”][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://acla.fondazionecomel.org/event/art-exhibition-the-universe-on-paper-the-art-of-linda-karshan/ LOCATION:Domus Comeliana\, Pisa CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://acla.fondazionecomel.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2022-10-16_F4A4471_risultato.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221013 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221014 DTSTAMP:20260619T210751 CREATED:20240119T171328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240920T110501Z UID:25329-1665619200-1665705599@acla.fondazionecomel.org SUMMARY:International conference: The Universe on Paper.

The Art of Linda Karshan is conceived in conjunction with and international conference\, to be hosted in the neighbouring Museo dell’Opera del Duomo on 13 October 2022. Bringing together eminent scholars from an array of institutions and specialisms\, the symposium is structured in three parts. \nThe first section explores the art of Linda Karshan in both its links with Renaissance principles and ideas\, and its resonance with contemporary practices. The second group of papers focus on bodily knowledge\, questioning the issue of the ‘intelligent hand’ in the practice of drawing\, and the possibility of knowledge-making granted to and by works on paper. The last pair of speakers will focus on the body as cosmos\, exploring the ‘latitudes of the body’ in medical treatises and contemporary reception\, and deciphering the art of Linda Karshan in a scientific perspective. \nThe conference gathers a highly original group of speakers: distinguished academics and professionals from various institutions and countries\, who have all gained first-hand and in-depth knowledge of Karshan’s art. Collectively\, their fields of expertise encompass art and architecture\, ethics and psychology\, medicine and astronomy. \nRead the abstracts here\nPDF ABSTRACTS \nAt the end of the conference\, the audience and speakers will join the artist Linda Karshan and curator Giulia Martina Weston for a preview of the exhibition at the Domus Comeliana\, followed by further moments of conviviality during an exclusive cocktail party on the terrace.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1590571667512{margin-left: 15px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1587051302928{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 118px !important;}”][vc_column] [/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top” custom_css_code=”LndwYi1qcy1jb21wb3NlciUyMCU0MGlkJTIwLnZjX3R0YS52Y19nZW5lcmFsLnZjX3R0YS1hY2NvcmRpb24udmNfdHRhLXN0eWxlLXNpbXBsZV9zb2xpZCUyMC52Y190dGEtcGFuZWwlMkIudmNfdHRhLXBhbmVsJTIwJTdCJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwYm9yZGVyLXRvcCUzQSUyMDFweCUyMHNvbGlkJTIwJTIzZGZlNWU4JTNCJTBBJTdE”][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://acla.fondazionecomel.org/event/international-conference-the-universe-on-paper-the-art-of-linda-karshan/ LOCATION:Domus Comeliana\, Pisa CATEGORIES:Symposia ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://acla.fondazionecomel.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Conference-4-1.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
