Opens with Surprise at the Second Biennial Matera
La Biennale di Matera began with a surprise: the meeting - which we define as "historic" for the sound world of ceramics - one of the great masters and Thomas Benjamin Chaffey Niglio. These are the last descendants of the two dynasties of craftsmen Murge that since the nineteenth century competed to create the most beautiful whistles. And even today the cuckoo Cola Cola di Matera and Gravina contend the preferences of fans and collectors. Young, the two craftsmen met every year during the pilgrimage at the Shrine of Our Lady of Picciano, where their whistles were sought by pilgrims. Now the two great rivals - who have said that they themselves had not seen for over 50 years - were left with a hint of emotion at the opening of the Biennale di Matera, where he presided over the opening ceremony together Genius Loci and the representatives of the Municipality of Matera. The
II Biennial takes place in the frame of the rock church of Santa Maria de Armenis in the heart of the Sassi.
The competition has been massive: 67 artists from all regions of Italy as well as from France, Germany, Russia, Denmark and Hungary.
The result is a colorful and exciting display of 300 whistles that can be visited every day until May 30.
exposure is enhanced by the exhibition of the Biennale theme Whistle with Gusto "is dedicated to whistles on the themes of food and wine from the collection Scuto.
The Russian artist Valery Kurtmulaev was there with his whistle during the first two opening days of the Biennale, held workshops and Pico construction of cuckoos that have delighted children and adults.
The public response was huge: hundreds of visitors only in the first weekend of opening of the Biennale. WINNERS of the International Competition of Terracotta Whistle
