300gr
è il peso orientativo di un cuore umano.
Il suo battito, un ritmo e un suono primordiale.

The Project

300gr is the average weight of the human heart.
Its beating, a primal rhythm.

It is a perfomance of painting to music, designed by Angelo Sicurella and Igor Scalisi Palminteri.

During the performance, painting turns into music: each gesture Igor makes on the canvas produces a sound which is sampled, filtered and processed in real time by Angelo, creating a picture with is both visual and sonic. Synchronous and impromptu, in this performance made of music and image, the act of playing cannot exist without that of painting and viceversa.

Igor Scalisi Palminteri

Igor Scalisi Palminteri was born in Palermo in 1973. Aged 20, he joined the Capuchin order, where he spent the following 7 years. Sacredness and saints are a constant theme in his prodcution. A revised, distorted and sometimes ambiguous sense of sacrality is ubiquitous in his poetic. While depicting saints as simple human beings, he simultaneously rediscovers their icons, reprocessing them without undermining their sanctity and using them as a starting point for an investigation on human nature and its identity. Since 2018 he almost exclusively dedicated himself to interventions in the streets, working in close dialogue with residents with the goal of disseminating a sense of community and care through art. In 2018 he also curated POSTCARDS FROM BALLARO’, a project entailing the creation of 5 walls painted by himself, co-curator Andrea Buglisi, Alessandro Bazan, Fulvio Di Piazza and Crazyone. The documentary Perspective Ballarò, directed by Cuccia and Bellia, narrating the 5 artistic interventions in the neighbourhood revolving around the historical market, has been distributed by Netflix in 30 countries since 2022.In 2019 he created SANGU E LATTI on a wall in the Sperone neighbourhood in Palermo, thus starting a journey with the local stakeholders. In 2021 he was one of the co-creators of SPERONE167, the encounter between local residents, associations, schools and many professionals gave birth to a lasting creative alliance propelled by urban art.
