Guests also included cultural leaders from both Italian and Washington, D.C., communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a truly spectacular performance to watch,\u201d President Becerra said. \u201cThere was a cohesive balance between Goldschmied and Chiari\u2019s artwork and the movement performed by the talented dancers. Marymount is grateful to have been invited to join the celebration hosted by Ambassador Zappia and to have showcased the artists\u2019 powerful exhibit at Cody Gallery, providing the opportunity for our students and visitors to experience one of Italy&#8217;s greatest contemporary artistic duos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition itself features nine works, including a new series of Goldschmied &amp; Chiari\u2019s iconic &#8216;Untitled Views.&#8217; First developed in 2014, the artists devised a secret \u2014 almost alchemical \u2014&nbsp; technique involving colored smoke bombs whose elaborate billows are captured on film and transferred onto glass and mirrors. When observers stand in front of these works, their own reflections mingle with light, shadows and images of smoke to become a dynamic part of the artwork. The ever-changing interplay of light, objects and the viewers\u2019 own reflections yields a multiplicity of images and meanings \u2014 too many for any one title to encompass.<\/p>\n<p>Miccolis, an Italian-born choreographer based in Washington, D.C., draws from this interplay and multiplicity to inspire the movements of the three featured Washington Ballet dancers \u2014 Misha Glouchkova, Harry Warshaw and Anna Cole \u2014 to bring a new dimension to the push and pull that Goldschmied &amp; Chiari\u2019s work is known for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoldschmied &amp; Chiari\u2019s MAGNIFICA poses trenchant questions about feminine identity, power, modern life and the interplay of these forces and others with the natural world,&#8221; Berry explained. &#8220;These intersections open rich dialogues across many areas of study, addressing some of the most pressing issues of our society today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition was curated by Allison Nance and organized by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsandartists.org\/\">International Arts &amp; Artists<\/a> in partnership with the <a href=\"https:\/\/it.usembassy.gov\/\">Embassy of Italy<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/iicwashington.esteri.it\/iic_washington\/en\/\">Italian Cultural Institute<\/a> in Washington, D.C.
