Joan Jonas

Monica Ponzini
L'universo figurativo di Joan Jonas  un inarrestabile fluire di intrecci semantici, fatto di suggestioni e rimandi. In una continua ricerca sulle relazioni tra performance e media, l'artista crea opere complesse dove corpo, video, musica, disegni, fotografia e oggetti concorrono a creare un percorso di senso....

Homage To Alberto Grifi

Claudia D'Alonzo
After a long desease, the film-maker, photographer craftsman-inventor Alberto Grifi left us this Sunday, on 22nd April. The definition of Grifi as the father of Italian underground cinema was useful to dismiss his case and turn his concept of deconstruction of the artist-director against him. At the same time it made his films cult objects though many never saw them, so that the memory of the collective experiences impressed on them could gradually wear out as their 30-year-old magnetic supports....

Andreas Broeckmann, Contemporary New Media Art

Marco Mancuso
The last edition of Transmediale represented for us a change edition and after gathering many opinions and impressions during the festival we can say that, according to many, it was an edition of difficult comprehension. Despite it, as point of reference for all who deal with new media, Transmediale is on everybody's lips, even after its end. And as each important appointment it is always under floodlights, giving confirmations and wrong-footing with its changes.... READ MORE...

Valdoca, Concerto D’elite

Massimo Schiavoni
Al Teatro del Parco di Mestre, nell'ambito di Fuori Contesto 2007, si respira un'aria quasi spirituale, interiore, aspettando l'aprirsi del sipario, consapevole riparo onorato che svelerˆ la quiete scenografica. In un attimo il pianoforte, i fiori distesi, i palchetti sui quali vedremo corpi femminili salire e brandire lance insanguinate mostrano giˆ la staticitˆ coreutica, la centralitˆ drammaturgica....

Quayola: Visual Delicatessen

Bertram Niessen
Davide Quagliola is among that group of sensible Italians who left their native shores to move to less sunny yet more hospitable places. Having moved from Rome to London, his work had been long associated with that of HFR Lab (a visual experimentation duo together with Chiara Horn), a project of sound and video, graphic and music on the border between installations and live performances which, also thanks to the good choice of moving to London, succeeded in creating a considerable professional connection net which probably would have been impossible to have living in Italy....
