Description/Abstract:

Civitella Ranieri Foundation is pleased to present the third edition of Casting the Castle, curated by Saverio Verini, opening on September 10th, 2022. As the name suggests, Casting the Castle aims to reveal an unexpected image of Civitella Ranieri, unveiling its spaces in new and challenging ways.
The Foundation commissioned nine artists for the occasion, who will present interventions of various natures – live performance, video, installations, and sound – scattered throughout the spaces of the Civitella Ranieri Castle.
Burgoyne presents 'Everest'- a new site specific performance work exploring the paradox of visibility and the invisible as pertains to drawing, here a building of appearance (something) is sought, while in its futility to succeed, the act of immersion in the materiality/making of nothing is the only result.​ In the case of 'Everest' the rolling and unrolling of tape has created a pile of fake rocks that if unrolled, as a continuous line, the tape would be equal to the height of Everest. The outcome - it is easier to climb the actual Everest, than draw as activation or realisation, far less ascend this modest peak.
