Shiro Takatani. The extension of visible

Enrico Pitozzi
there is a sort of landscape full of visual and sonic inputs determining – unconsciously – our perception. Just around these minimal perceptions, boundaries of the infinitely small, are the works of the Japanese and worldwide known artist Shiro Takatani, already leader of the Japanese theatre company Dumb Type and today involved in different projects, from installation - as Frost Frames, conceived for the Kyoto Spiral Hall in 1998 and the collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto for LIFE – fluid, invisible, inaudible…(2007) – to live performances, like the recent La chambre Claire (2008) and Chroma (2012)....

Art is relationality: an interview with Marinella Senatore

Silvia Scaravaggi
Labor was a central theme at the art division of Ipercorpo, a festival organized in Forlì in May 2013 by Città di Ebla and Iagostudio eventi e comunicazione. The three nights of the festival featured a roundtable dedicated to the Forlì collection Verzocchi and more specifically to the topic of collecting organized by curator Davide Ferri. This initiative was combined with the presentation of three artworks that interpreted labor from three different perspectives: video Nui Simu by Marinella Senatore; Il Capo by Yuri Ancarani (see his previous interview for Digicult[1]) and the performance Dove si racconta di profondi sospiri e lunghi pensieri (“place for deep sighs and long thoughts”) by Stefania Galegati Shines....

William Kentridge: I am not me, the horse is not mine. The Tank / Tate Modern

Redazione Digicult
William Kentridge’s eight-channel video installation I am not me, the horse is not mine will be showcased in the UK for the first time in the Tanks at Tate Modern. Projected simultaneously across the walls of the Tank, each film is played on a continuous loop to create an immersive audio-visual environment, which resists the establishment of a single narrative. Each short film contributes layers to a story that references Russian modernism, from Soviet film of the 1920s and 1930s to the calamitous end of the Russian avant-garde.... READ MORE...
