SAVE MOTHER
http://www.museomadre.it/savemadre.cfm
In only a few years MADRE has become a museum of great stature, respected by critics and public alike throughout the world. Naples has always had a tradition of distinguished private contemporary art galleries but with the opening of this extraordinary museum in the middle of the historical center, the city has at last found a prestigious and internationally recognized landmark. Whoever loves and studies contemporary art, must acknowledge the cultural renaissance of Naples irrespective of all the problems that still afflict this city's life. It is unthinkable that a museum of Madre's standing, already so important and influential within the international art community, could suddenly be abandoned and prostrated by the new local government. It would be a terrible loss to the international art world and particularly to Italy which so needs a solid system for promoting and studying contemporary culture. We would like to express all our solidarity and support to the director Eduardo Cicelyn, the chief curator Mario Codognato and to all the museum staff and to plead for them to continue to safeguard the institution. Madre belongs to all Neapolitan citizens and indeed to all those in Italy, Europe, and the rest of the World who believe that contemporary culture cannot renounce the search for new forms, new languages and new values.
