Biennale Performa 09: Alle Radici Del Video E Del Noise

Silvia Bertolotti
Autunno a New York. Non  l'incipit per un racconto fatto di situazioni romantiche impresse su celluloide o per r'veries vintage. Magari  anche questo, New York  sempre tutto e il suo contrario. Ma un autunno a Manhattan pu˜ essere un'instancabile e sempre sbalorditiva passeggiata artistica, che nel mio caso ha avuto la fortuna di avvenire proprio durante i giorni in cui si  svolto un evento eccezionale per noi amanti delle arti digitali ed elettroniche: la Biennale Performa 09, rassegna multidisciplinare e trasversale, che anche quest'anno si  svolta in pi locations contemporaneamente, dedicata alle performing arts, in tutte le loro declinazioni....

Kenneth Anger And The New American Cinema

Francesco Bertocco
The New American Cinema - NAC, represents one of the most meaningful artistic experience within the indipendent cinematography of the 60s, free from Hollywoodian empires and a mythopoetic all-engaging Star System. A group of directors - whose patroness and inspirer was Maya Deren - which included i.a. Jonas Mekas, Stan Brakhage and Michael Snow - began to meet at the margins of the official cinematography, deteriorating the visual monopoly of great producers. Through poor means which seemed to be a stylistic manifesto, they created a series of experimental films on the wave of the first vanguards, by then still half-asleep in the story of the audiovisual world....

Voom, By Robert Wilson:the Surface Of A Myth

Francesco Bertocco
There is a figure which seems to stop the time, move with care along its borders, fly above it, go through it but then sit outside it. It is a man who wears only his slips and stand in front of us, fixing us. Above us the rain begins to fall. The light is steered by a blinding intense blue which looks like a chemical color lent by Klein's imagination or by the fluorescent lamp of a sleazy club.... READ MORE...

Derek Jarman’s Visual Painting

Francesco Bertocco
The incredibile influence of Derek Jarman's cinema is considered as an unavoidable background for every research on the new visual languages from the end of the '70s. His ability to survive and fall always on his feet in a vogue of indipendent cinematographers, outside the main channels of cinematographic production made him a kind of living god (Holy Derek). He is a survivor in a generation which spent all its energies and attention in the visual research and representation methods.... READ MORE...

The Ethics Of Gaze: Raymond Depardon & William Kentridge

Silvia Casini
A photographer and a filmmaker, Raymond Depardon, author of what can be described as documentary fiction, was awarded the Pulitzer prize. He is the author of several reportages in countries such as Biafra, Chad, Venezuela. He is also renowned because he spent some time in 1976 at the former psychiatric hospital in San Servolo, Venice. In 1996 he shot a sort of documentary-fiction on a trip in Africa that lasted three years and on the filmmaking profession. William Kentridge was born in South Africa, an artist, whose artistic matrix is drawing, but who ranges from sculptures to animation and video installation and constantly interrogates himself on the social role of art and the responsibility of the artist....
