WALL OF SOUND GALLERY, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PINO DANIELE TRUST ONLUS AND THE MADE IN CLOISTER FOUNDATION, PRESENTED THE MULTIMEDIA AND TRAVELING EXHIBITION PROJECT “PINO DANIELE ALIVE. THE EXHIBITION.”
We celebrate the unforgettable Neapolitan artist PINO DANIELE with “PINO DANIELE ALIVE. THE EXHIBITION,” a multimedia and traveling exhibition project that launched in Naples, at the Made in Cloister Foundation, on September 18th and will remain open until December 31, 2021.
The project was conceived in collaboration with Pino Daniele’s son, Alessandro Daniele, and photographer Guido Harari.
The exhibition features, for the first time, large-format views of Pino Daniele’s iconic photographs, taken by the photographers who followed him most closely throughout his career. Images that graced the covers of his historic albums and previously unpublished photographs, digitized specifically for the exhibition: from youthful portraits taken by Lino Vairetti of the band Osanna, to images of Mimmo Jodice, Cesare Monti, Guido Harari, Luciano Viti, Giovanni Canitano, Adolfo Franzò, Roberto Panucci, and Letizia Pepori.
The evocative setting of the Made in Cloister Foundation, thanks to its architectural features, naturally guides the public on a multimedia journey, revealing the artist’s most complex and private aspects. The exhibition also features objects and instruments dear to the artist, including some of his guitars made famous by his album covers, the mandolin used for the recordings of Napule è, and his handwritten concert setlists. An exceptional soundtrack accompanies the public on their visit: some of the artist’s songs are presented in a new way, with audio excerpts of his voice and/or guitar alone isolated from the other instruments. To punctuate the deliberately more intimate dimension of listening, Pino Daniele’s breathing intersperses the various performances. The exhibition is also a container of non-profit activities curated by the Pino Daniele Trust Onlus, which, thanks to the collaboration of SIAE – Italian Society of Authors and Publishers, enriches the program with a series of moments of artistic-musical training with meetings dedicated to music high schools, institutions and courses accredited by the MIUR AFAM
