The Global Contemporary Art Worlds After 1989

Redazione Digicult
Artists, and above all the institutions of art, are faced with the questions as to the extent to which the concept "global" can and must be thought-and how this reflects back on its own methods of working. By means of artistic approaches and documentary materials, the exhibition "The Global Contemporary. Art Worlds After 1989" examines the way in which globalization, both with its pervasive mechanisms of the market and its utopias of networking and generosity, impacts upon the various spheres of artistic production and reception....

Manfred Mohr: 1964-2011 Réflexions sur une esthétique programmée

Redazione Digicult
It was May 11, 1971 when the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris opened the influential exhibition "Computer Graphics - Une Esthétique Programmée". A solo exhibition by Manfred Mohr, it featured the first display in a museum of works entirely calculated and drawn by a digital (rather than analog) computer. Revolutionary for its time, these drawings were more than mere curiosities – they signaled a new era of image creation, setting in motion a trajectory of modernism and information aesthetics....

Fanny & Alexander, which has asserted itself as research group in the theatrical context, produces works of art marked by the contamination of different artistic disciplines.... READ MORE...

Mauro Ceolin: Ethnography Of The Imaginary

Claudio Musso
Mauro Ceolin, present in September and October to Triennale Bovisa in Milan with his exhibition Contemporary Naturalism, VIVENDI - da Lassie ai Pokemon, made of hybridization his trademark. In fact, at the base of his work lies an analytic attitude, reason to study and ultimate goal at the same time. His methods of research lie on the border between a large body of disciplines ranging from sociology to biology, anthropology to chemistry, from science of materials to neuroscience. Before such a wide arsenal of options it would be practically impossible to give some answers to the first question, but the artist's extraordinary coherence of work comes to our aid.... READ MORE...

Art/tapes/22. Interview With Maria Gloria Bicocchi

Claudia D'Alonzo
Between 1972 and 1976, a venue on the ground floor in Via Riccasoli 22, in Firenze, acted as the main setting for one of the key moments that brought about the video art in Italy. At that very address, Maria Gloria Bicocchi and her husband Giancarlo founded art/tapes/22, the center for the moving video, which started in Florence, but then followed the couple as they were traveling to other residences, in Santa Teresa, near Follonica, and Sant’Ippolito, in the Volterra countryside, reaching (complete with tapes and equipment) artists’ studio, galleries and cultural centres in Italy and abroad....

Notes on the Un-documentary. Vision – Rapresentation – Ricreation

Mitra Azar
This article is the result of a series of theoretical discussions coming out from my research in the cinema-documentary field. These lines are meant to suggest a broader lecture of documentary-making activity. Through the relations that the idea of documentary establishes with photography, fiction, identity and performance, I would like to deconstruct its meaning and make it a source of philosophical research, opening discussions about technical matters that lead to new styles and methods of realization....

Pablo Gav. The Sound Art In Mexico City

Felipe Zuniga
To write about Mexico City as an emergent scene for contemporary music and sound art seems a difficult task. There is a lack of information and specialized publications. Thanks to some artists like Manuel Rocha Iturbide this scenario is slowly changing. Some academic essays are available on line, few catalogs of exhibitions that included sound art pieces or installations, and mostly we find artists websites and some festivals publications. These are the nodes available to build a network of scattered references.... READ MORE...
