Maria Dompe was born in Fermo on March 4th, 1959; after having attended artistic high school, she graduated with a degree in sculpture from the Accademia di Belle Arti of Rome in 1982. Dompé studied at the Roman Academy of Art under the supervision of renowned sculptors Pericle Fazzini and Emilio Greco. After the Academy, she continued her studies in the town of Pietrasanta where she acquired mastery and hands-on skills in the use of stone and marble, materials which play an essential role in her work.
During the 1980’s she participated in competitions in which she often received prizes: the competition of the Accademie d’Italia (1981, first prize); the national competition of the Accademia di Belle Arti of Frosinone (1982, first prize); “Premio Bernini” Province of Rome (1984, second prize).
In 1985 she was invited by Filiberto Menna to the collective show “Esprit de Gèometrie,” at the Roman gallery Il Carpine. In 1989 she had her first personal exhibition at the gallery Il Millennio in Rome, followed by individual shows set up at the gallery Spazio Temporaneo in Milan (1991), at the gallery Isola in Rome (both in 1992 and 1993), at the gallery of Alberto Peola of Turin (1995) and at the Laboratory Museum of Contemporary Art, University of Rome, La Sapienza (1997) with an installation that involved the senses of smell and hearing, entitled, Don't forget Mururoa. In the personal installation of 1999, Alle donne di Nakiri, Dompè challenged the external and internal spaces of the Japanese Cultural Institute of Rome. Also in 1999, the artist had a personal show at the Contemporary Sculpture Center of Tokyo. And in 2000, she had a personal show at the gallery Grossetti Arte Contemporanea of Milan, with the work: Daily Spiritual Life: Milano. In 2007, at the gallery Il Segno of Rome, she paid homage to the writer and explorer, Ella Maillart, by creating a vision of a large landscape of the spirit.

- Russian Samizdat Art Conceptual Photo Sculpture Assemblage Gerlovin & GerlovinaLocated in Surfside, FLRimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin Clock, 1987-94 Aluminum sculpture, mixed media and c-print photograph construction, c-print, felt tip marker 13 h × 13 w × 4 d in (30 × 30 × 6 cm) Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin were founding members of the underground conceptual movement Samizdat in the Soviet Union, described in their book Russian Samizdat Art. Based on a play of paradoxes, their work is rich with philosophic and mythological implications, reflected in their writing as well. Their book Concepts was published in Russia in 2012. The work by Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin is emphatically contemporary. The artist couple were part of the Moscow Conceptualists, their performance Costumes, from 1977, deepened their ongoing work with linguistic semiotic systems and their own bodies. Considering the context in which Gerlovina and Gerlovin made their work—that of political restrictions on public life, of unfreedom, and censorship—their collaborative togetherness must also be read as a space of possibility for political community and resistance. Rimma Gerlovina’s hair is featured prominently in the art of the Gerlovins as a constructing element of the body. Used for the linear drawings her braids transmit transpersonal waves reminiscent of an aura of live filaments. Long loose hairs function as threads of life; streaming in abundance, they allude to Aphrodisiac vitality and Samsonian strength. On the other hand, they are the haircloth worn during mourning and penitence. In New York they continued to make sculptural objects, and their photographic projects grew into an extended series called Photoglyphs. In their photographs, they use their own faces to explore the nature of thought and what lies beyond it. Since coming to the United States in 1980, they had many exhibitions in galleries and museums including the Art Institute of Chicago. The New Orleans Museum of Art launched a retrospective of their photography, which traveled to fifteen cities. Group exhibitions include the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museum, New York, Smithsonian National Museum of American Art, Washington D.C., Bonn Kunsthalle, Germany, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, and others. Samizdat or “self-published” began in the Soviet Union, and Samizdat art consists mainly of books and magazines published and distributed by the artists who made them. Samizdat art has sources in the innovative books and magazines turned out by the early 20th century Russian avant-garde—artists and writers like Olga Rozanova, Vladimir Mayakovsky, El Lissitzky, and Alexander Rodchenko. Artists as varied as Alexander Archipenko, Leon Bakst, Marc Chagall, Naum Gabo, Alexandra Exter...Category

- Sculpture; 'Portal'By Kelly Bugden + Van WifvatLocated in New York, NYThe artistic collaboration of Kelly Bugden + Van Wifvat has produced a thought-provoking body of sculptures, paintings, and constructions. Nature, childhood memories, and everyday archetypes take shape in unexpected combinations of materials. The works emerged as the tactile and visual senses channeled the ritualistic power and materiality of selected artifacts. The resulting objects exist in a space between what they were originally and what they could become. A wheel, for example, is distorted as if seen through a prism. Their collaboration grew out of years of shaping materials into one-of-a-kind objects. Intuitively, the process of creating with their hands took an inward turn. Prism is a travelogue through memories and dreams, yielding abstract forms that capture moments of transformation. Van Wifvat grew up with eight siblings and studied sculpture and environmental design in Minneapolis at MCAD. In 1979, he opened a storefront art gallery to promote the work of local artists. The space featured printed materials—art books, periodicals, fanzines, and postcard’s. Wifvat moved to New York in 1983 to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons. In 1987, he co-founded Van Gregory & Norton design studio, specializing in convex mirrors and curtain hardware...Category
