>>
>> Services and Storage at Paradise Plantation
>>
>>
>> Inauguration Sunday September 25, 2005 - Bolognano (PE)
>>
>>
>> Il Luogo della Natura (The Place of Nature) is a subterranean
>> construction
>> of about 800 sq.mt. on two levels, entirely built of
>> reinforced concrete.
>> designed and constructed by  Lucrezia De Domizio Durini, an important
>> underground facility at Joseph Beuys¹ Paradise Plantation in
>> Bolognano, a
>> small Italian town in the Abruzzo region.
>>
>>
>>
>> Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) was one of the most emblematic and
>> significant
>> personalities in the contemporary art vanguard after World War II; he
>> participated in the first events organized by the Fluxus
>> group and then
>> focused all his work in the area of performances and the
>> defense of the
>> environment, with a strong political, social, humanitarian
>> and economic
>> commitment. In the last years of his life he visited Italy many  
>> times,
>> particularly Abruzzo, where he found a fertile terrain for
>> his ideas among
>> the people, and the ideal location for the expression of his
>> beliefs as a
>> man and as an artist.
>>
>>
>>
>> The last great masterpiece of Beuys is his Defense of Nature,
>> a colossal
>> operation developed in Italy in a context in which unbridled
>> nature plays a
>> primary role, reflecting the expansion of human thought and
>> energy. Man¹s
>> relationship with nature has always been a constant theme in
>> Beuys¹ work:
>> the defense of nature viewed as environmental concern and
>> interpreted above
>> all in the anthropological sense, Defense of Man, of Human Values, of
>> Creativity.

>> The philosophy of the German master is active and
>> pedagogical, expressing
>> with different languages the two primary concepts: the
>> creative energy that
>> every human being possesses, and solidarity, the free
>> collaboration among
>> men of different origins, social strata, cultures, economic
>> and religious
>> backgrounds, his famous Living Sculpture.
>>
>>
>>
>> Lucrezia De Domizio Durini collaborated actively and
>> constantly with Joseph
>> Beuys in the last 15 years of his life and, since his death
>> (23.1.1986), has
>> devoted all her energy to spreading the philosophy of Beuys
>> in the world,
>> using every possible medium.
>>
>>
>>
>> Il Luogo della Natura (The Place of Nature) is devoted to Cultural
>> intercommunication among various disciplines, open to many possible
>> languages, and is the active and theoretical heritage of Beuys.
>>
>>
>>
>> It is an unusual project in the world of art, in which the two  
>> primary
>> concepts of man, Science and Economics, are the foundations
>> of a program of
>> thought and work. A place of study, research and training, where  
>> it is
>> possible to unify, through the system of instruction, the visual and
>> theoretical components.
>>
>> A vast library, a photographic archive, videos, films and
>> rare art documents
>> provide the tools for consultation and information, facilitating the
>> organization of conferences, seminars, debates on various
>> social topics with
>> a multimedia approach.
>>
>>
>>
>> It is a pedagogical and philological project of a highly
>> professional kind
>> that, through the presence of international intellectuals in various
>> disciplines, will create job opportunities for young people
>> who wish to
>> proceed in this direction.
>>
>> The management consists of a Chairman, a Director, a Co-director  
>> and 5
>> commissioners, all people involved with international
>> culture, and it is
>> associated with several foreign cultural organizations.
>>
>>
>>
>> Il Luogo della Natura (The Place of Nature) is an integral part of  
>> the
>> Harpsichord Society, created by Joseph Beuys in 1980, a place open to
>> autonomous cultural projects proposed by public institutions,
>> national and
>> international cultural and intellectuals in various fields.
>>
>>
>>
>> Il Luogo della Natura (The Place of Nature) is the name of
>> the physical
>> building.
>>

>> conceptual and practical, indicating the reciprocal willingness among
>> peoples to give and take in a broad cultural collaboration.
