Mario Lamberti, now Mario Dal Mare, from Teramo, graduated in Rome in Bank Science in 2005. In the same year he attended a course in holy painting hosted by Fondazione STAUROS in Isola del Gran Sasso (Teramo) where he learned contemporary holy art. From this experience and many interesting situations, he invented “EconomiaPoetica”, an innovative science and conceptual artwork combining both his studies focusing on classic economics and sociology with artistic avantgard and experimentation. “Relational economist”, artisan-poet “of the word” and primitive-abstract artist, he became a performer, an extravagant walker and co-founded the mysterious “moviSento” Aldilista movement, where art meets life.
From 2007 to 2009 he collaborated with independent artists and many art galleries and joined exhibitions and events in Rome and other Italian and foreign cities.
He discovered Joseph Beuys’ artwork and absorbed the concept of “The Living Sculpture” extending the idea of “EconomiaPoetica” to a re-imagination of the space in the town. Thus he started his project of removing the parking space in Piazza Pasquino, a square that used to be a place for poetic communication.
This “PrOpera” (pro-artwork) to reactivate oral transmission near the statue of Saint Pasquino is ongoing.
In 2009, after the terrible earthquake striking Abruzzo, he started to reflect deeply about how to protect and harmonize the environment. With this aim Mario started visiting many Eco Villages around Italy and came back to his homeland with a project called “SalvAvanguardia” and worked hard on a project of co-creation of a community of people committed to care and live in harmony with the nature. He joined the Rete ItalianaVillaggiEcologici (RIVE), in order to transfer his holistic knowledge into a collective experience.
In 2011 co-founded ITAKA in the natural reserve of Borsacchio, Abruzzo. ITAKA is meant as a “residential summer sculpture” where to live an artistic relationship with nature.
From 2012 to 2013 went to Naples and in penisolasorrentina for a collaboaration with TRASFORMATORIO and PalomArt and inaugurated the “BotanicaVisionaria” exhibition with the “aldilist” painter Chiara Corvino in the spaces of P.A.N.
Soon after this experience, Mario went back in Abruzzo again and opened “Valoratorio”, a laboratory and artistic studio of “sPost-contemporary art”.That project consisted in re-inhabit and self-manage the space of the square Piazzettadel Sole in the neighbourhood of Santa Maria inBitetto in Teramo.
The idea ofEconomiaPoetica continued with the collaboration with the School for Dreamers and a book which is the synthesis of a series of relational experiences.
In 2015, during a RIVE event in the Habitat Ecovillage had its birth the “PiUmani” movement, a perfect synthesis of the Aldilist experience.
In the October of the same year, Mario Dal Mare presented his book NelRinasciSensoduring the first DreamersDay. The book focuses on the necessity of valorising the oral transmission in our virtual culture and reflects about concept such as “TeVisione” and Italika, a re-design of Italian geography.The idea of “Barca del tempo” is very important for Mario’s poetic too. It focuses on the“Word” which is meant as an ancient wheat seed travelling around the world and culturally elevating people from “Umanezza” (a sort of trivial humanity) and from “MedioevoCapitalista” (Capitalistic Middle Ages) to the dimension of “PiUmanità del RinasciSenso”.
In the 5th February 2016 Mario moved to Milan and joined the exhibition “Omaggio a Dada” at Galleria CityArt with a screen-smashing performance which inaugurated his “Cantiere diRiscritturadell’Immaginario”.
In the same year collaborated with “Casa MuseoAldaMerini” and started the project “Riabitareil Mondo con la Poesia” (re-inhabit the World eith Poetry) in Via Magolfa, Milan.
In the same period Mario opened his own studio in Via deiCappellari (Rome). Everytime Mario presented a book , he actually made a performance. Among them: the participation to the Festival dellaPaesologia with GuendalinaSalini in Aliano presenting the idea of “Patria Invisibile” and in Bolsena with “Convergenza di Permacultura 2016” with the concept of “GeoEmpatia” are very important and remarkable.
In early January 2017 the artist and poet Mario Dal Mare went back to Rome to work at the Piazza Pasquino project and was hosted in artistic residence by NoMade studio of art, in San Lorenzo district.
In 5th February of the same year together with NoMade studio artists, he celebrated a century from the birth of Dada Movement in Cabaret Voltaire, with a very successful exhibition.
In 30th February 2017 (2nd March 2017) he had his personal corner in the NoMade studio with the “GRAMOSI” exhibition.
The experience at NoMade studio (in Via deiLucani) is very important as the artist and poet Dal Mare also met the Stalker-No Working reality there.
From 10th March to the 17th April, he collaborated with the Stalker Movement in the “Xeneide: ildonodell’altro” exhibition at Auditorium Parco dellaMusica.
The 21st March, for the World Poetry Day, the artist inaugurates Via dellaPoesia in 48 Via deiCappellari (Rome) starting a collaboration with the artist Andrea Bottai in Bottega Galleria “Pian de’ Giullari” presenting a list of events to promote “RinasciSenso” in the Eternal City of Rome.
On April 21st, during the “Purification Day” in Via dellaPoesia, took part to the program of events in Rome Summer Program starting with his collaboration with the Stalkers’ event “Ag(h)ost city” and continuing with “No-Working” and “In ItineRe”, in LocandaAtlantide’s spaces.
Mario Dal Mare in now running his studio in Via dellaPoesia (via deiCappellari 48, Rome) and works with happenings and performances consisting in proposing poetry, inventing neologisms and symbolic gesture.
Mario’s artistic and literary production is collected in his publications Raccolti da ungrappolo di Sole (2002), Accade(2005), Ascoltati in mare (2008), BotanicaVisionaria(2013) and NelRinasciSenso(2015). This last one, in particular, is a visionary text proposing new economic dynamics for a new existence paradigm.
