exhibit Nr.739

Description: Badge, April 25th, 2007-05-20
The Tree of Poetry is a very uncommon species of plant; it is an American Maple, which is in Venzia_Mestre in 83/B Cavallotti Street, ITINERARI 80 Center. Giancarlo Da Lio, inventor of ITINERARI 80 too, dedicated this Tree to Poetry in a lot of artistic Performances.

Comments/Origin: The Tree strikes its roots into the soil, but branches toward the light of the Sun: to be and to become. Below its fronds sheets with verses in plastic ebvelopes, to preserve from rain, hung down. The poets read their lines in the shade of the Tree. And painters and sculptors put their works on walls and grass.
From 1989 the happening is every year on April 25th. ITINERARI 80 is an artistic moevement; from different trends many excellent artists gather strength around Giancarlo Da Lio. Moreover, as well as they work, they must manage their work making use of everything and everywhere.
Well, it is necessary to show works not only in the official galleries, but above all in the alternative art spaces: where people go and come, on the road, in the shops, in the gardens too: so the Tree of Poetry was born and is growing.
