A guide-tour of Sardinian archaic weird and marvelous stone sculpture - La Costante Resistenziale is an ongoing research by Montecristo Project investigating "resistant" forms of artistic expression in Sardinia with a particular focus on sculpture. This research aims at tracing and retracing historical heritages and anthropological continuity in the artistic production of the island. The project includes exhibitions, photographic and physical recollections and display of artifacts together with written essays.
Between 1967 and 1985 artist Ugo Ugo (1924 - 2022) directed the Galleria Comunale d’Arte di Cagliari where he created a significant collection of contemporary art. Montecristo Project has uncovered and reconstructed Ugo’s forgotten story through a written interview and with exhibitions dedicated to artists who, as Ugo, are also founders or directors of art-spaces. The mountain department, a cubic space located in a secluded location on the Sardinian mountains, raises from an unrealized idea by Ugo and tries to keep alive his work and spirit through a romantic and conceptual enterprise.
