Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Marina Sagona" in English language version.
Ierimonti Gallery is pleased to present "Sagona - The Comedy of Women", a project that intertwines literature and art and draws inspiration from the most influential masterpiece of Italian literature- Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Marina Sagona's imaginary portraits capture the idiosyncrasies and the archetypical power of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise's female residents. In turn, authors Judith Thurman, Jhumpa Lahiri, Alice Sebold, Claire Messud and Anna Funder respond to Sagona's visualizations of Dante's text by creating their own narrative portraits of the women.
Organized by Ron Magliozzi, Associate Curator, and Jytte Jensen, Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art; with Antonio Monda, author and professor, New York University; and Marina Sagona, artist.
Through this work, Marina Sagona puts the emphasis on the inversion of values that characterizes the contemporary world: values such as love, friendship, compassion are emptied of their positive role, marginalized to give way to a new feeling. The world has catapulted into a new "state of nature" in which applies the law of the strongest, and establishes a system of absolute freedom that finally becomes anarchy and a state of war.
