On the occasion of the Dante exhibition at the MAR – Art Museum of the city of Ravenna, A POP Epic, the third of the “Dante. The eyes and the mind”, from 1 September until the end of the exhibition on 9 January 2022, Edoardo Tresoldi's installation is set up in the cloister of the museum. Tresoldi is the artist of “Materia Assente” and of wire mesh cathedrals, named by Forbes in 2017 among the most influential European artists under 30 in Europe. After the reconstruction of the early Christian Basilica of Siponto, awarded the Gold Medal for Italian Architecture, the large Etherea installation in the United States for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Opera, the intervention on the seafront of Reggio Calabria, the artist exhibits Sacral in Ravenna, created in 2016 and rearranged here for the occasion. Edoardo Tresoldi was chosen by the curator of the contemporary art itinerary of the exhibition, Giorgia Salerno, to represent the theme of Souls to ideally reinterpret Magni di Dante's Castle of the Spirits with a large installation that allows the public to experience an imaginative place upon entering in full dialogue with the surrounding landscape. The Noble Castle, as also defined by the Poet in the fourth canto of Hell, is an emblematic place inhabited by those who left honor and fame on earth; They are the great spirits of antiquity, they are philosophers, poets, scientists and writers, with slow and serious eyes, who in earthly life were supreme men for their moral qualities but are destined to eternal suffering because they lack theological virtues. With Sacral, installed in the sixteenth-century cloister of the city's Art Museum, originally the seat of the monastery of the canons of Santa Maria in Porto, dedicated to the cult of the Greek Madonna that Dante himself mentions in the Paradise, a canticle concluded during the Ravenna years, the public has the opportunity to physically enter the work, ideally into the Noble Castle and, in an almost performative action, retrace Dante's journey.
