public dialogues – Richard Demarco and Deirdre MacKenna at Castello Pandone Venafro

In celebration of the Italian Day of Contemporary Art, Castello Pandone Venafro held a walk-through of the exhibition Richard Demarco: la route, the road, la strada, in open dialogue between Richard Demarco, Deirdre MacKenna and visiting artists, producers and others.

With 2019 marking Demarco’s ninetieth year, this exhibition introduces him as mediator of international relations to the communities of his heritage, from where his ancestors started their journey over two hundred years ago; the event started with MacKenna asking Demarco to give a narrative to the images in the exhibition which introduce his heritage and early experiences in Scotland and Italy, and discuss the influence of these on his identity and career-path.

Comissioned by Cultural Documents and produced in partnership with the Demarco European Art Foundation and the Polo Museale del Molise, this exhibition is the first in a new programme of collaborations between Cultural Documents and the Polo Museale del Molise, welcoming in the British Council UK-Italy season of collaboration in 2020.

The exhibition will start its tour of Italy and the UK in 2020.
