Three Poetic Engines is a project by Alessandro De Francesco realized in the framework of the artistic residency program BeHave – Public Art Experience. It took place between 2015 and 2016 in the former metallurgical site of Belval, Luxembourg, which is now being reactivated as the main campus of the University of Luxembourg and as a place for living and working in different service-oriented contexts. Project curator Stéphanie Delcroix wrote about Alessandro De Francesco’s project: “Three Poetic Engines is articulated in three gestures: an artist book, a sound installation and a series of framed prints that the artist calls Augmented Writing. All these works combine elements connected to the history and the present of Belval. They show the way in which the artist conversed with this place and discovered its genius loci among the inhabitants, workers, researchers, students and architects related to Belval, women and men of very different generations. In this work, archive documents, conversations and poems meet, communicate and contemplate each other. For Three Poetic Engines, Alessandro De Francesco devoted himself to the art of making verses and of (con)versing with the people who live, study or work in Belval and its surroundings. |
