ortika torret’ 14 Inspired by biodpi / in collaboration with south italy street art and iwwt /
The urban moves to the countryside. Street Art in the Sannio/Samnium We call it "Torret 14" a Sannita experiment of the farming Street Art organized by Fabio Della Ratta, aka Biodpi. An uninhabited cottage versus 13 artists from Marche to Salento. Here’s the pictures and story of the promoter. The summer empties the city and meets the urban art. We remember Tour Paris 13, a skyscraper in Paris ready for the demolition and temporarily " a work in progress" by the work of 80 street artists – we told you the story - a dozen writers of the peninsula gave birth to Torret 14. Set: an uninhabited cottage in Sant'Agata de 'Goti’s countryside, in a place called Torretta. •Can the urban art move to countryside or is it just a holiday? "I would not call it ‘a holiday’, because we camped in a bad way, like Spartan" said in a funny way the Saticulano Biodpi, that organized this event with South Italy Street Art and Maleventum Consortium. “We experienced with the project ‘Ortika’ in 2007, whose first edition had this topic. The urban art takes possession of old, sad and graying spaces, it can also happen in the countryside, where a lot of our history is nested". The memory of the American suburbs/blocks has its roots in the recent past and pushes the writer to give shape to this art rebelling to the anonymity, in Italy you get it between the old Apennines cottages, pressing the memory of a country DE-AGRICULTURALIZZATO ( a country that lost the farm culture). “I organized the event through the Facebook group and I posted photos of old inhabitants of the house and family. I didn't ask or require to the artists to use them, but soon some of these photos captured their interest”. That's how Biodpi's ancestors or their images have become a mediator between the old cottage and this new iconic place. "It was great to see these days some curious neighbors and relatives of my greatgrandparents came to visit us”. •What would the great-grandparents think about the worker with the traffic cone painted on the wall in front of them? "I think that after we telling them the situation of ‘contemporary’ workers , they would have made a big and melancholic laugh. For them, who lived on ! subsistence agriculture, the concept of alienation did not exist. Little food, but also a few traffic cones. " •At last we ask to Biodpi what about Torret 14 in the future. “Can the cottage
•At last we ask to Biodpi what about Torret 14 in the future. “Can the cottage accomodate activities or it needs to a restructuring? Can this restructuring jeopardize the artistic experiment? “ I would like to organize at the end of this summer a cocktail hour , ‘radicallocal’, where you can drink Aglianico (red wine) and taste local food. I hope that Torret 14 will become an art recidency for Spartan/strong guys who love the nature and the ‘slow’ living. So about the shell of the cottage, it’s strong, my grandfhater told me proudly that this cottage has been built by bricklayer/architect with the help of relatives and neighbors. The cottage is a quality work by an old rustic wisdom, so a cocktail hour will not fall it down”.
