L'Art Aborigena Australian incontra de Chirico invites the visitor to imagine a hypothetical dialogue within a representation of Australian Aboriginal artists have come to know the greatest exponent of metaphysical, Giorgio de Chirico, in the permanent collection of this museum, on the first floor. Accompanies them, in the role of interpreter, artist Imants Tillers.
The art metaphysics sees the mysterious correspondences between objects and between the ages, as if there were invisible forces that act on the world. Through painting, Aboriginal artists represent their "encounters" with a powerful reality cosmological, called the Dream (Dreaming). In this there is an analogy between their art and the pursuit of De Chirico deep universal realities, rooted, in his case, in the classical culture of the Mediterranean. De Chirico also meant the classical world of myth as a sort of dream. Artist profoundly affected both the art of de Chirico's art Aboriginal, to the metaphysical implications that involve both, Tillers creates works of art perfectly suited to serve as a bridge between these contexts as diverse.
Nell'interrogarsi about what happens when these metaphysical artists from opposite poles of the planet come together through art, This exhibition addresses a crucial issue in contemporary, as globalization forces us to ask ourselves not so much what divides humanity but rather what unites. For those who, come noi, believes that there is a cosmological sense in relationships that govern the world, Globalization plays a metaphysical meaning in the same way in which it is considered a matter of political or economic.

THE pittura Aboriginal WESTERN DESERT
(THE DESERT OCCIDENTALE)
Driven by the urgent desire to communicate his vision of the world to a wider audience, in 1971 twenty artists gave birth to the movement of the painting at Papunya in the Western Desert, a small Australian community. Aimed at the art market, This production uses modern materials - acrylic on canvas - and presents several similarities with contemporary Western art. It 'obvious common ground of abstraction, but the more pertinent parallel is found among those artists, from different geographical areas, that react similarly to the existential shock of modernity, entrenching their present, more confused than ever, in a world "other", associated with the myth and dreams. Although the figurative representation has played an important role in the early days of painting in the Western Desert, this art he soon showed a tendency to abstraction. As synesthetic direct appropriation of ancestral song cycles, the paintings refer to specific stories and special places that also have a contemporary relevance. As the rhythm and cadences of music, the abstract motifs promote the song so much, As the daydream and the "metaphysical presence".
