" The Newspaper of Calabria "Sunday, January 25, 2009

In Christian iconography, the egg is the symbol of the Resurrection, his shell represents the tomb from which emerges a living being, whereas paganism is a symbol of fertility of 'eternal return of life. Ruggero Maggi, complete artist versatile because, in their eggs and nests failed to impress. "Ecce ovo" is the theme behind

-installation of the exhibition that opened last night at the Cosenza Art Gallery Vertigo, in the presence of the artist who generously responded to our questions. "The world has a fever, he told us-and to resolve the

global warming requires a global change of mentality. The purpose of contemporary art, must be designed to highlight and raise awareness on issues that affect our lives, going beyond continuously through a filter and poetic. " This is the soul that flutters gently fluttering in the installation of Maggi. 13 nests, real fruit of a small private collection that the artist has carefully preserved for many years, without affecting the originality, which added

only egg shells open, content. But not small little creatures chirping, but digital pictures of fried eggs. "The idea of \u200b\u200bhanging from the ceiling of their nests with soft nylon that is born from the cave, a cave with stalactites and stalagmites, and then from the bottom, immersed in the shells emerge sawn - continua- I nidi sono realizzati da uccelli con quello che hanno trovato, non solo rametti e filamenti, ma plastica e persino capelli» Segno di una natura che si adatta alle nefandezze che gli uomini hanno generato ed anche la visione dei tronchi, dei gusci dei nidi sospesi lascia riflettere. Nidi caduti da alberi segati, presi e conservati da una mano attenta affinché facessero 

nascere la vita che di fatto è già morta. «Non si pensi ad un questione politica – ha concluso Maggi- è un sentimento che nasce dalla vita stessa, dall’essere artisti e dal dovere di interrogarsi e fare interrogare. Non tocca noi prendere decisioni, possiamo solo sforzarci di evidenziare what is happening around us. " At the exhibition presented by Franco Gordano, the art critic Mimma Easter said: "the art of Maggi played on three aspects, the fun and playful that lightly, even manages to touch, that of communication because it is not self but projected to the social and the global issue that the art

poetry can leave the memory of the installation itself is an ephemeral event. The invitation is open to students so that they can understand, store and through the arts, the world around us, "not from the eggs already cooked more chicks will be born? "This is the real problem," Word of Ruggero Maggi
