Giovedì 19 novembre nell’Aula Cinema di Palazzo di San Galgano, sede della Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia, alle ore 17,00, sarà inaugurata dal Preside prof. Roberto Venuti, VIDEA3, terza edizione della rassegna di video art al femminile.
La rassegna è stata promossa dai proff. Massimo Bignardi e Ada Patrizia Fiorillo, docenti di Storia dell’Arte Contemporanea, rispettivamente delle Università di Siena e di Ferrara, in collaborazione con il Fondo Regionale d’Arte Contemporanea di Baronissi. La manifestazione senese è patrocinata dal Comitato Pari Opportunità dell’Ateneo, presieduto da Elena Gaggelli.
La rassegna, coordinata da Claudia Gennari, Annamaria Restieri e Maria Letizia Paiato, è stata progettata da Paolo Berti, Irene Biolchini, Anna Bonazza, Cristiana Ferrario, Claudia Gennari, Linda Gezzi, Silvia Giannassi, Denise Guglielmo, Silvia Leonardi, Sara Manetti, Massimo Marchetti, Martina Marolda, Federica Marras, Francesca Marti, Claudia Mennillo, Ardesia Ognibene, Federica Pace, M. Letizia Paiato, Annamaria Restieri

Il tema che caratterizza questa terza edizione è lo specchio, inteso come riflesso, doppio, proiezione e deformazione: immagini riflesse e desunte da un immaginario onirico diventano veicolo di un messaggio sociale espresso dalle giovani videoartiste italiane.
La specularità dell'immagine, sia essa riflesso del sé o oggettivazione della propria storia, diviene anche pretesto narrativo delle opere proposte nella sezione internazionale, quest'anno dedicata all'Africa, alle sue nuove prospettive nei linguaggi della contemporaneità, alle suggestioni dei luoghi, alle inquietudini che vanno a toccare profondi strati del patrimonio antropologico delle comunità; una sezione animata dai lavori, in parte inediti per il pubblico italiano: Griot di Shelley Rae, Soldiers and Lovers di Catherine Anyango, IMAGinING Tobia di Salem Mekuria.

La rassegna presenta inoltre le seguenti opere: Alessia Travaglini The Choice, Patrizia Monzani Stadt Fish, Alia Scalvini Acque Chiuse, Silvia Camporesi Dance Dance Dance, Irene Corti Autodistruzione, Azzurra Di Tomassi, Quasi un inganno, Carmen Laurino Transfigure in trasparency, Chiara Schiavon El sexo del los angeles, Marcella Vanzo Love song, Maria Giovanna Ambrosone The Mirror e Ingannevole Utopia, Alice Ungaro Kirkende, Alessandra Fabbri Death by water, Giovanna Pastorelli White Inside, Lucia Veronesi Fermo immagine, Maddalena Vantaggi La Posa. Gaia Bartolini Unseen Dialogue, Tiziana Abretti Wash my sins away, Cristina Meloni Artist is Beautiful, Valeria Colonnella con Manuela de Los Angeles Ipotermia, Elena Lombardi Sensi Unici, Marisa Vallone Empty Doors, LaCRuna (Elisa Leonini e Silvia Sartori) Climax.

Visualcontainer in collaboration with Videochannel presents:
MEMORY/IDENTITY
A project by Visualcontainer Italian Videoart Distributor and Promotion

Memory and identity have been major issues in video-art investigation in the last decade of the 20th Century. Since the inception of the “new-economy”, “post-modern” and “virtual reality” era, artists have suffered from a lack of identification and placement within the world, having all the traditional assertions of gender, religion and biological property been cancelled, infringed or mixed-up.
Urged by the cyborg and bioengineering promises, during the late 90’s the electronic eye investigated the problem of giving an identity to objects and people within an unpredictable changeableness of roles and denominations, in most cases by simply shooting everyday life just as it was. At the beginning of Y2K era, challenged also by economy crises, terrorism and immigration flows in and out of mass participation, identity has still to be steadily and continuously looked for in ordinary life.
In the last ten years the global world has gotten used to most of the ever-shocking technological and biotechnological innovation: we all have learnt to face blurring biological boundaries on TV programs and to resort to “fluid” ways of existence and interrelationship thanks to the Internet and daily tech facilities. Apparently, we are more confident with our tools and with our new way of approaching ourselves and the others both physically and – more often – virtually.
Yet, something is missing, some part of our self-identification eventually lacks in the complicate puzzle of our (post) modern, contemporary construction. The video-art world has never dropped the urge for addressing such a topic and now calls for attention in an only apparently less anxious bunch of outcomes. By Giorgio Fedeli

Frames from the real: 11 video investigations of society in our troubled times

"Frames from the real: 11 video investigations of society in our troubled times"

A project by Visualcontainer Italian Videoart Distributor and Network.
From the archive of VisualContainer, a Eleven video selection specifically goading the European social environment at large. Their pixels cast us inside daily relationships between genders, authorities, roles and identities. There can be crude frames of the real, rather than metaphors or fancy worlds with prospective solutions to abandon to, or again a brainstorming creative mixture of both.
At last, it’s up to us to decide to which screen eventually resort: artists have made their choices, more urgently than ever it’s our very time to take side, too!
