Archivi d’Arte Contemporanea. The meeting is moderated by Vittorio Urbani and the artists will be in conversation with Lea Nocera\, Professor of Turkish Language and Literature at The University L’Orientale (Naples). \nNeapolitan Dialogues II is the closing moment of the second edition of “Neapolitan Dialogues”\, an artist residency programme that takes place in Naples\, hosting artists from the cities of Istanbul and Lisbon. With the aim to let the artists absorb and internalize the social\, visual and cultural imaginary of the hosting city\, the residency is free of any obligation and it doesn’t require an immediate outcome to the artists. During its first edition in 2021\, “Neapolitan Dialogues” hosted the artists Çağrı Taskin and Huo Rf. \nBy presenting their artistic paths\, Cansu Çakar and Serra Tansel will establishes a fluid and active dialogue\, allowing the public to be part of their process of knowledge. \n“Neapolitan Dialogues” is supported by Elgiz Museum (Istanbul) and T-One Foundation (Istanbul). \n  \nCansu Çakar “The core of my practice is to research the fractures of the aesthetics reflected by the modern and western influences in eastern painting\, together with social and cultural environments\, and to associate the meanings of traditional motifs with the subjects in my paintings. I believe that what defines modernity are not ‘imported’ ideas and concepts but rather\, the aesthetic values lost in the darkness between different layers of society. Using traditional art techniques as a mediator\, and utilizing contemporary issues\, I underline the absurdity of the conflict between traditional and modern. Believing powerfully that a language never dies\, it just changes forms and survives\, I try to recreate an old visual language. \nAlthough still a controversial topic\, many academicians today believe that scientific knowledge of the one-point perspective did not exist in antiquity. I want to leave the question open for discussion due to my observations on Pompei’s frescos. The fact that the composition technique known as lack of perspective or two-dimensionality\, which we encounter in the miniature painting that I studied\, is a piece of false and superficial information is an issue that I often underline. In miniature painting\, a production technique based on the understanding of multiple perspectives is adopted. Plural perspective is the use of changing perspectives in the same composition while describing a space. Perspective\, on the other hand\, is the way of including the subject and the viewer in the painting\, and it can be said that it is a “symbolic form” that expresses a kind of new-age culture. I think that I will undoubtedly be able to open the layers of the structural materials\, history\, and social structure that make up Naples\, and I will be able to make visual form studies that will look for ways to visually describe these layers. As the storytellings that start from the underground come to the surface\, the class phenomena that color the streets on the ground floors and the empty terraces facing the sea will be allusive elements of depicting Naples with multiple ways of seeing.” \nSerra Tansel “Our engagement with Napoli have shifted between being an outsider\, a stranger\, a tourist\, a collaborator and a local in each different activity we engaged in. The multiplicity of this positions allowed the feelings of awe and familiarity to co-exist. We have a saying in Turkish “Did you come from a village without a door?” if you don’t shut the door behind you as you leave someone’s office. This understanding of privacy is associated with modernisation and civilisation which leads us to estrangement and sharp borders. Napoli has many open doors. It doesn’t mean it lacks privacy or secrets but one can hide something by making it too visible or vocal also and this city seems to have more elaborate ways than shutting its doors. This intimacy shared in the public space\, the personal ownership of the streets\, the make-shift structures that utilises obstructions is what I want to take with me from Napoli and add to my vocabulary of resistance and progress.” \n  \nThe event will be held in English with simultaneous translation into Italian. \n  \nCansu Çakar (b.1988\, İstanbul) lives in İzmir. She investigates traditional art forms such as decorative drawing and illumination and integrates these traditions with contemporary art practices and topics. Thus she articulates her wish to free traditional forms of expression from their stereotypical classification. Her drawings and paintings\, together with the concepts she explores in her workshops\, critically question the typical male-dominated subjects of traditional miniature painting. Additionally\, they call into question the traditional classification of this art form and its conservatism. Çakar draws a line between what it means to be a woman or a prisoner in an oppressive society and the aesthetics of traditional arts in our contemporary art world. Both share the struggle against conservatism and the ensuing fight for emancipation. \n  \nAmong her projects and exhibitions are NATURE AND STATE\, Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (Baden-Baden\, 2022)\, Fore-Edge Painting\, MACRO Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Roma and Bibliotheca Hertziana\, (Rome\, 2021) The 6th Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art\, The Optical and Mechanical Plant\, (Yekaterinburg\, 2021) BB11- 11th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art\, The Crack Begins Within\, KW\, (Berlin\, 2020) Miniature 2.0\, Pera Museum\, (İstanbul\, 2020) The Crime of Mr. Adolf Loos\, Axel Vervoordt Gallery\, (Antwerp\, 2019) Cappadox Contemporary Art Program\, (Cappadocia\, 2018) Linear Transcendency” at the Lab- Darat al Funun\, (Amman\, 2016) SALTWATER: A Theory of Thought Forms. 14th Istanbul Biennial- 100°- FLO\, (İstanbul\, 2015). \n  \nSerra Tansel (b.1989\, İstanbul) currently lives in London. \nSerra Tansel’s practice engages with the ways in which we settle into our world and draw the boundaries of our cities\, houses\, bodies and the structures\, the relationships we establish within them. She works context specific and utilises a wide range of media to infiltrate mainstream cultures in order to create twists. She is a member of the music collective Makkam and one of the faces of Hayırlı Evlat. \nRecent exhibitions include SH/FT\, No Show Space\, London (2021); A Question of Taste\, Pera Museum\, Istanbul (2021); “Passion can create drama out of inert stone”?!\, Peak\, Elephant & Castle Shopping Mall\, London (2020); Higher\, Pilot Gallery\, Istanbul (2020). \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/11040/ LOCATION:Casa Morra\, Salita San Raffaele 20C\, Napoli\, 80136 CATEGORIES:Casa Morra ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/01_sito_ND_2022-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20221125T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20221126T140000 DTSTAMP:20260515T224904 CREATED:20221123T084131Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221123T084131Z UID:10877-1669401000-1669471200@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:Mary Zygouri - Who Is The Third Who (Always) Walks Beside You? DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the 2nd edition of Art Days – Napoli Campania\, Underneath the Arches presents a new performance by the Greek artist Mary Zygouri\, specifically conceived for the archaeological site. The event is curated by Chiara Pirozzi and Alessandra Troncone\, in collaboration with Associazione VerginiSanità. \nBy intertwining research\, visions and approaches that have guided the artist towards a close relationship between the human body and the architectural/natural body\, Mary Zygouri has created a performance closely connected to the physicality of the place\, able to make the remains and pre-existence of the Roman era vital. Mary Zygouri’s action draws inspiration from the poem Wasted Land written by the poet and playwright Thomas Stearns Eliot in 1922. Through the interpretation of timeless and non-human characters who inhabit the archaeological space\, the artist transposes the polysemantic\, enigmatic and symbolic themes of Eliot’s text in a new dimension that intertwines myth\, history and superstition. Conceived as a narration that proceeds through figures in transformation that communicate with the public in three languages ​​(Italian\, English and Greek)\, the performance suggests\, as described by the title\, the constant presence of an “other” entity perceived at our side even if physically absent. \n  \nUnderneath the Arches aims to activate a dialogue between archaeology and contemporary art\, and to establish a relationship between local material and immaterial culture and the artistic research of international artists. Its main objective is to promote both existing cultural heritage and new production in contemporary art. In the fascinating space of the ancient Roman aqueduct\, discovered in 2011 and located underneath a historical building called Palazzo Peschici Maresca\, international artists are invited to create temporary and site-specific installations in dialogue with the space itself and the surrounding area. Previous exhibitions include works by Arturo Hernández Alcázar (Mexico City\, 1978)\, Hera Büyüktaşçıyan (Istanbul\, 1984)\, Adrian Melis (Havana\, 1985) and Jumana Manna (Princeton\, 1987). \nThe project is kindly supported by Fondazione Morra\, and carried out under the Matronage of Madre Museum / Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee of Naples\, and under the patronage of the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. Thanks to Paola Ricciardi for the choreographic coordination. \n  \nMary Zygouri (Athens\, 1973) holds a BA from Athens School of Fine Arts and a Master FA at Chelsea College of Art and Design\, London. She lives and works between Athens and Italy. In 2017\, she was invited by Documenta 14 to the main exhibition in Athens and Kassel at Palais Bellevue. Her solo shows include The Repetition of the Impossible\, Prometeogallery di Ida Pisani\, Milan (2018) and ZOOpoetics-ZOOpolitics\, Studio Stefania Miscetti\, Rome (2011). She has performed and exhibited in numerous group shows at international museum and institutions\, including Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea\, Rome; Mu.ZEE\, Ostenda; EMST\, Athens; MOMUS\, Salonicco; Cittadellarte–Fondazione Pistoletto\, Biella; Dutch Art Institute\, Arnhem; IILA – Istituto Italo-Latino Americano\, Rome; IKSV – Istanbul Foundation for Culture\, Istanbul. In 2012\, she was awarded by the ΑICA Hellas. In 2014\, she collaborated with Michelangelo Pistoletto at the performance Venus of the Rags /INTRANSIT/ELEUSIS at the Aischyleian Festival\, Eleusis. She created ENYPNIO (2019) at the archaeological site of Paestum\, with the support of Fondazione Gatto (Salerno) and LYSIS (2022) at the archaeological site of Amfiareio Oropos in Greece\, with the support of NEON Foundation. Her practice has been featured and reviewed in several art magazines and academic journals.

The exhibition opens on Saturday 22 October at 6 pm.\, offering the public a hitherto unseen dialogue between a wide selection of works from the malaktion walküre and the relics of the last action\, directed by Hermann Nitsch in Naples. \nThe first set of works on show in the Museum’s ground-floor rooms come from Nitsch’s pictorial action in the form of a scenic event at the concert performance of Richard Wagner’s The Valkyrie at the Bayreuth Festival in the summer of 2021. \n“I wish to put on a painting action where the colours of the poured and smeared paint\, spanning the whole spectrum of the rainbow\, attempt to compete in a positive sense with the blazing colouration of Wagnerian music. The events of the actual act of painting are to be like music. Sounds turn into colours. The painter is stirred and aroused\, vents himself in the painting process. He is the first actor. He feels the very substance of the paint\, the fluidness\, the slithery slim\, the pulp of the thick paint\,” Hermann Nitsch wrote on that occasion (Wien\, 1938 – Mistelbach\, 2022). “I have enthusiastically loved Wagner’s work. The gesamtkunstwerk was his priority. It is experienced through all the senses. He was always my teacher\, and still is today.” \n“The total work of art in Nitsch’s interpretation – Lorenzo Mango writes in a composite essay accompanying the exhibition- is redolent of Wagner’s memory but goes beyond it. In the Orgies Mysteries Theatre\, it is determined by experience\, contact with the vital in its most absolute and primal form\, the senses\, and the sensuality of theatre”. Thus\, Nitsch does not merely set the stage for The Valkyrie; rather\, he sets in motion\, as the action unfolds\, a process of intensification and expansion of the sensory experience that lies at the heart of the Orgies Mysteries Theater. The Bayreuth experience will be reproduced through video projections\, documentary\, and photographic material\, together with a selection of Nitsch’s drawings. \n“I wish to put on a painting action where the colours of the poured and smeared paint\, spanning the whole spectrum of the rainbow\, attempt to compete in a positive sense with the blazing colouration of wagnerian music. The events of the actual act of painting are to be like music. Sounds turn into colours.” \nIn dialogue with the large paintings\, the relics and documents from the 158.aktion (2020) – the last one to be led by Nitsch – will be on show to the public for the first time. In this action\, the Austrian master acknowledged the primary importance in terms of dynamism and intensity of the “Sinfonia Napoli” – an integral part of the event\, performed by the Orchestra Scarlatti under the baton of Andrea Cusumano – through which\, in September 2020\, he wished to celebrate both Giuseppe Morra and the city of Naples on the occasion of the twelfth anniversary of his Neapolitan Museum-Workshop.

Archivi d’Arte Contemporanea\, which is also hosting “Mille Nanni”\, a temporary exhibition curated by Giuseppe Morra\, dedicated to artist and friend of the Fondazione\, Nanni Balestrini (1935- 2019). \n  \n“Mille Nanni” opened on 1 July 2022 to inaugurate a series of meetings dedicated to Balestrini. It presents his artistic journey\, exploring the complexity of his thought through archive material\, collages\, and sculptures from the nineties\, in addition to his prose\, and poems. \nNanni Balestrini’s work shows a powerful creative and political commitment\, manifest through tireless experimental research spanning different expressive languages. A keen observer and protagonist of today’s world\, Balestrini invites us to look at reality not as a monolith but to take it in through a thousand glances\, a thousand visions\, multiplying and distorting it\, challenging it. The artist’s universe is composed of constellations of poetic words\, denuded and sometimes violent\, searching for authenticity in a world of neo-capitalist inauthenticity. \nComplementing the permanent exhibition dedicated to him\, “Mille Nanni” is a diffuse exhibition throughout the building\, showcasing the multidisciplinary character of the artist’s work\, with a focus on his poetic sensibility. \n  \nfaster and faster/ breathing in through the nose/ always the same beat/ being reduced/ still here saying doing/ to reach/ now not breathing/ safe and sound and no longer knowing/ who we are nor (Nanni Balestrini\, Caosmogonia\, 2010).

Archivi d’Arte Contemporanea in Naples will be hosting Reverie in the performative action “Sogno 5: Icaro” (Dream 5: Icarus).\nThe project\, with a text by Piero Tomassoni\, has been curated by Isabella Morra. \nConcluding her cycle devoted to dreams\, conducted over the years as a privileged alphabet of research\, this Tuscan artist proposes a contemporary reinterpretation of the Icarus of Greek mythology\, dedicating to the city of Naples her latest dream-themed performance. Initially suspended from a crane in the forecourt in front of the former chapel at Casa Morra\, Reverie will re-enact for the audience Icarus’s fateful flight.\nThe mythological Icarus assumes the burden of disobedience to the world’s constraints\, rules\, and laws. It is a challenge to what is reassuring – the desire to surpass human limits\, to look upwards and go beyond. But it is also the recklessness and impudence of a youthful idealist whose naïveté is transformed in Reverie’s work into a dreamlike experience that acquires a totally new and topical meaning.\nHer Icarus is “contemporary”: a genderless figure with prosthetic arms whom the artist has also represented in some of her opere-indivenire. She will appear as a majestic red wax sculpture with a cast around her torso. To this are attached two wings and a World War II parachute\, to which the incipit of the biography of this new Icarus\, that is\, the story that gave life to the work as a whole and to the performance itself\, has been stitched onto a satin insert in the artist’s own handwriting.\nThe story of the project\, as in all Reverie’s work\, thus originates from the desire to construct collective dimensions and memories that become a sharing zone between artist and audience. In the open space of Casa Morra\, the relationship between Reverie and the audience will be consolidated in a communion of emotional tension through an empathic relationship in which energies merge with the artist’s body. \nThe myth of flight\, of touching the intangible\, the sky\, would not exist without its opposite: the fall. They are antimeres of the same root: the push toward the beyond\, a journey that humanity has shared since its beginnings (Isabella Morra). The contemporary Icarus\, however\, takes his place in history in a new way\, celebrating life with its difficulties\, loneliness\, burdens and sufferings; he is every human. For centuries\, “Icarus” has been the therapeutic and sapiential song passed on from master to disciple\, from plant to healer in the Amazon. He has now become the mantra of Reverie (Piero Tomassoni). \nCasa Morra. Archivi d’Arte Contemporanea will be open to the public from 4 pm. \nReverie (Vinci\, 1994) lives in Milan\, dedicating every moment\, action\, and every rose of her life to Art. Her real name\, which she has chosen for life and art\, is a dedication to Bachelard’s Poetics of Reverie (nomen est omen). She works on contaminations\, the interference of conceptual and emotional gazes and reactions\, starting from interiority and profound solitude. She realizes performances representative of collective society\, contemporaneity and feeling\, between the real and the virtual. From the spark of intuition she creates texts to which she gives material form\, personally constructing all the elements necessary for the action. Crossing anthropology\, literature\, philosophy\, psychoanalysis and the sciences\, she has turned the study of dreams\, even “daydreaming”\, into an original line of research to develop an artistic language through which to investigate reality\, crossing archetypes as memories and “collective dreams”). She has produced several works on this theme and published a book\, librosogni with Skira (2021). Recent exhibitions and performances include: Il corpo dei sogni (solo show\, 2022\, Basilica di San Celso\, Milan); Sogno 5: Icaro (2022\, Casa Morra – Fondazione Morra\, Napoli); Sogno 4: alba lunare (2021\, Festa della Ceramica\, Montelupo); Sogno 3: la camera degli specchi (2021\, FOG\, Triennale\, Milan); Sogno 2: The Sleeping Muse (2020\, Palazzina Liberty Dario Fo e Franca Rame\, Milan\, in collaboration with Fondazione Mudima and curated by Raffaella Perna); Sogno 1: l’archetipo del sé (2019\, Fondazione VOLUME!

Fassung (the 6-day play – 2nd version) \nthe 6-day play of the o. m. theatre is a work in progress. everything i’ve ever done\, my action painting\, all my performance actions\, my music\, they were all precursors for a never-to-be completed work. in 1998 i succeeded in staging a possible version of the 6-day play in the orgies mysteries theatre at prinzendorf. in 2022 i wish to stage another version of the 6-day play. the music\, extended into organ sounds and escalating into music of the spheres\, is becoming all the more essential. \nHermann Nitsch \n24 years after the first staging of the 6-day play (1998)\, this summer the total work of art is to once again be condensed into a concentrated interplay of all its components. It was the cherished wish of Hermann Nitsch (*29 August 1938 in Vienna; Ϯ 18 April 2022 in Mistelbach) that his 6-day play be performed this year in the new version. The performances of the 1st and 2nd days are to take place on 30 and 31 July 2022. Rita Nitsch is fulfilling the wish of the artist posthumously\, supported by the core team of Andrea Cusumano (musical direction)\, Leonhard Kopp and Frank Gassner. The other four days will be staged in the coming years. \nThe Orgies Mysteries Theatre \nHermann Nitsch’s idea for an action performance lasting six days and six nights goes back to the year 1957. At the time working with the medium of literature\, the artist\, influenced by the attempts of Richard Wagner and Alexander Scriabin to realise a total work of art\, imagined his own action theatre\, oriented on synaesthetic experience engrossing all five senses: the Orgies Mysteries Theatre. \nThe length is an analogy to the story of creation and is conceived as an extension of all monumental works of art. Thus\, all the performed actions of the o. m. theatre ever since the early 1960s need to be understood as part realisations of the 6-day play. \nThe Orgies Mysteries Theatre is an artistic undertaking. Besides the visual form\, the music plays a crucial role. The play’s course follows a symphonic concept. The arena for the action is the castle grounds in Prinzendorf\, encompassing all its rooms and spaces as well as the surrounding countryside of Lower Austria’s Weinviertel. \nTicketing information is available at http://www.nitsch-foundation.com/the-6-day-play-2022 \nA booklet of the 6-day play can be downloaded at \nhttps://www.nitsch-foundation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/6TS_2022_July_30-31_web.pdf URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/hermann-nitsch-160-aktion-das-6-tage-spiel/ LOCATION:Atelier Hermann Nitsch\, Schlossstraße 1\, Prinzendorf\, 2185\, Austria CATEGORIES:Museo Nitsch ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/HN_6ts_A1_riden.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220703T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220703T230000 DTSTAMP:20260515T224904 CREATED:20220705T105257Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220708T130908Z UID:8863-1656874800-1656889200@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:Mille Nanni – 3rd July DESCRIPTION:1-3 july 2022 – Tribute to Nanni Balestrini\nOPENING 1st JULY 6.30 p.m.\n1st july – 30th october 2022 \nCasa Morra.

The voices of three reader-performers on stage give body in sound to three of the six movements\, or cantos\, of a work centred on multiples of three. There is a solemn Dantean motion to this short poem that recomposes the human story from the alpha of the first human traces of Neolithic art to the apocalyptic omega of the terminal phases of the Anthropocene. A Dantesque palingenetic motion\, albeit with the usual suspension of judgement\, which here\, however\, becomes a magnificent tension (and internal skirmish between the three voices)\, gives structure to each page with three outward triplets and three return triplets in the movement of the layout from left to right\, forming a cusp. It is the sign of a verticality that is not metaphysical but immanent in the human condition. It is the geometry of astonishment and disaster of experience\, both individual and historical/collective\, from the initial explosion of hominization to the explosion of the end\, of an exemplary poet’s life like that of our animal species. In this work\, the geometry of montage typical of Balestrini’s poetry\, underpinned here by a powerful emotional vein\, attains a moving clarity\, almost as if L’esplosione were actually a first work rather than a farewell. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Napoli\, 2022 Photo Serena Schettino Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Napoli\, 2022 Photo Serena Schettino Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Biagio Cepollaro\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Napoli\, 2022 Photo Serena Schettino Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Laura Cingolani and Fabio Lapiana\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Napoli\, 2022 Photo Serena Schettino Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Rosaria Lo Russo and Fumofonico\, L’esplosione\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Napoli\, 2022 Photo Serena Schettino Courtesy Fondazione Morra URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/mille-nanni-3-luglio/ LOCATION:Casa Morra\, Salita San Raffaele 20C\, Napoli\, 80136 CATEGORIES:Casa Morra ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/fumofonico_brochure_page-0001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220702T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220702T230000 DTSTAMP:20260515T224904 CREATED:20220705T103401Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220708T125230Z UID:8853-1656756000-1656802800@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:Mille Nanni - 2nd July DESCRIPTION:1-3 july 2022 – Tribute to Nanni Balestrini\nOPENING 1st JULY 6.30 p.m.\n1st july – 30th october 2022 \nCasa Morra.

Hovering between body and ghost\, the voice becomes poetry in working on presence (the setting for the performance)\, fetish (the recording of the poet’s “real voice”)\, and sonification (the acoustic manipulation of the recordings). \n12.00 p.m.\nPiano performance by Andrea Riccio. \n7.00 p.m.\nDiscussion starting from Nanni Balestrini millepiani (curated by Sergio Bianchi\, DeriveApprodi 2022) led by Gian Paolo Renello with the participation of Franco Berardi Bifo\, Giairo Daghini\, Maurizio Ferraris\, Renato Parascandolo\, and Franca Rovigatti. \n8.o0 p.m.\nReadings by Andrea Inglese\, Eugenio Lucrezi\, Giovanna Marmo\, and Franca Rovigatti. \n8.30 p.m.\nPerformance Questioni di tagli.

Textures of sounds and voices for Nanni. \nElectroacoustic concert for voices\, speech\, singing\, modulator\, SFX effects\, woodwinds\, electronic sax\, loops & drums. \nby Luigi Cinque and Giovanni Fontana \nMille Nanni: a thousand stances in relation to the word and a thousand forms of the word. \nWeights\, measures\, complex and flexible space-time dimensions\, constantly evolving dynamics. Body-word\, gesture-word\, gaze-word\, action-word\, field-word\, footprint-word\, automaton-word\, machine-word\, image-word\, event-word\, sound-word\, object-word\, in phono-symbolic pictures and mirrors of verbal ideograms to compose performative paradigms and perspectives for performance on stage or in film through intermedial projections. \nGiven the challenge posed by the structural dynamics of Balestrini’s complexity\, Luigi Cinque and Giovanni Fontana dwell on the concept of the ‘cut’ and its technical peculiarities\, organizing a performative fabric where the verbal dimension is resolved into sounds and rhythms\, letting phono-semantic concepts emerge like tips of icebergs and releasing vocal and musical epiphanies in unforeseeable directions. Luigi Cinque’s multi-instrumental textures are entwined in a rhythmic weave that\, at times\, reveals in a digital dimension phonetic polyharmonies within which Nanni Balestrini’s own voice may also be heard\, while sustaining the poetic sonorities of Giovanni Fontana. The vocal aspect rests on the writing\, and the music credits everything in an acoustic puzzle concretely characterized by the electrophonic mask of the body. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Andrea Riccio\, …per Nanni…\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Giovanni Fontana and Luigi Cinque\, Questioni di tagli\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/mille-nanni-2nd-july/ LOCATION:Casa Morra\, Salita San Raffaele 20C\, Napoli\, 80136 CATEGORIES:Casa Morra ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/cinque_fontana_brochure_page-0001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220701T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20221030T183000 DTSTAMP:20260515T224904 CREATED:20220624T151200Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220720T141822Z UID:8707-1656700200-1667154600@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:Mille Nanni - Tribute to Nanni Balestrini DESCRIPTION:1-3 july 2022 – Tribute to Nanni Balestrini\nOPENING 1st JULY 6.30 p.m.\n1st july – 30th october 2022 \nCasa Morra. Archivi d’Arte Contemporanea\nSalita San Raffaele 20/c\, Naples \nA project by Andrea Cortellessa and Giuseppe Morra\nCurated by Maria Teresa Carbone\, Andrea Cortellessa and Ada Tosatti \nMa noi facciamone un’altra is the title of the second book of poetry by Nanni Balestrini (1935-2019)\, published in the iconic 1968. The title is a citation from one of Nanni’s main sources of inspiration\, Bertolt Brecht. However\, it also evokes Balestrini’s mercurial ability to move from one of the thousand facets of his polymorphous personality to another as artist\, writer\, political activist\, and organizer of cultural events. Peppe Morra has dedicated one of the permanent exhibition spaces in Casa Morra to Balestrini\, his friend\, frequent guest\, and accomplice and has established a memorial day dedicated to him in early July (2 July\, Nanni’s birthday). The event will involve longstanding travelling companions and younger friends and collaborators whose tributes will take the form of poetic and musical performances\, readings\, interpretations\, in-depth interdisciplinary discussions\, and specialist seminars. \nThere really are a thousand ‘best’ Nannis in our lives\, as Mille piani\, published in 1980\, shows. It was the summa of the works of Gilles Deleuze\, the man whom Balestrini considered the greatest thinker of his time\, as well as those of controversial psychoanalyst Félix Guattari\, his friend and companion during his exile in France between 1979 and 1984 in the wake of a judicial hypothesis subsequently proved unfounded.In Balestrini we find the writer\, pioneer in the 1960s of cybernetics-based combinatorial writing; there is also the visual artist who\, decades later\, would apply the same technique to images with his masterpiece Tristanoil\, “the longest film in the world”. After showing at DOCUMENTA in 2012\, it is now on permanent display at the Fondazione Morra. Then there is the narrator of Violenza illustrata\, outlining the evils plaguing Italy in the seventies\, as well as recounting our own times. We also have Nanni the cultural organizer\, tireless inventor of movements\, magazines\, festivals\, and editorial series. In addition\, there is Balestrini the political activist who\, from his Vogliamo tutto\, painted an unflinching picture of our times. \nNot a thousand\, but dozens of poets\, artists\, essayists\, and critics will be represented in turns at Casa Morra under the coordination of Maria Teresa Carbone\, Andrea Cortellessa\, and Ada Tosatti. Names will include Achille Bonito Oliva and Franco Berardi-Bifo\, Maurizio Ferraris\, Alessandra Carnaroli\, and Carmen Gallo\, Gabriele Frasca\, Aldo Nove\, and Lello Voce\, Andrea Inglese\, Tommaso Ottonieri\, and Girolamo De Simone\, the Luigi Cinque/Giovanni Fontana duo\, and performance quartet Fumofonico\, led by Rosaria Lo Russo. \n  \nPROGRAMME \n  \nFriday\, 1st July \n6.30 p.m. \nInauguration Mille Nanni\, a documentary exhibition curated by Giuseppe Morra.

Followed by the performance Tristano per Nanni\, music and piano by Girolamo De Simone. \n“Tristano per Nanni Balestrini” \nPerformance by Girolamo De Simone \nTristano is Nanni Balestrini’s first novel. It was written for Gruppo ’63 and later published\, in one of its various forms\, by Feltrinelli. It is\, in fact\, a mutant or rather a permutant\, work as the different chapters are organized into juxtaposable nuclei – sentences that can be combined in a multiplicity of ways\, almost in the hope that the narrative movement will no longer be “a transformation following a linear order of development\, but a succession of presences”. \nThe book is entitled Tristan\, and the author reminds us of the reason for this choice (the word “reason” is loaded with a meaning assumed in perspective; I feel it has the meaning put forward by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus): a love story\, where “love is turned upside down in relation to the way one encounters it in Wagner’s Tristan: not perdition\, destiny\, destruction\, and slavery\, but freedom\, choice. Not intrigue\, not drama…” [sleeve notes to Tristan\, Milan 1966]. \nAnd yet\, in a – today not so easy – reading of the novel (complementing John Cage’s writings\, many contained in Silence\, Wesleyan University Press\, 1961)\, the presence of movement is particularly evident since anything linear is shattered in almost in every sentence\, with lexical\, content-related\, allusive virtuosity… Thus\, a “drama” as movement is still alive here and simply brings us face to face with a change of perspective: it is not a matter of Wagner’s “perdition” or “destiny”\, but of the vague circulation of personal meaning that the reader assigns to the pages (“reversible”\, in musical jargon\, in any number of ways)\, and which\, in its variations\, leads to the historicized affirmation of the loss of the subject. A subject that becomes multiple and therefore indistinct\, distributed such that it does not yet make the meaning evaporate but requires a possibly transversal one between the lines of discourse (one of those possible). A perhaps personal truth\, confided by the author to each reader in the virtuosic secret of a word that needs organizational forcing to transform it into an almost filmic sequence… \nThis is the thinking that underlies the idea of this performance\, Tristan for Nanni Balestrini: I look to Wagner’s music\, especially Tristan und Isolde\, but also to the mysterious Elegy\, marked Schmachtend\, or soulful\, languishing\, in progress\, and presented again in linear form and\, immediately afterwards without a break\, in reverse\, with obvious additions of my own in terms of touch and sound. Thus\, I present my variously contrived piano versions of Tristan\, employing Fluxus digression (with the correlation between the sound/note and its duration\, i.e.\, establishing the fall of each sound according to the spatial distance from the one preceding it)\, but also “minimal” multiplication… transferring Nanni Balestrini’s writing into music. \nSome sentences from the novel are also read out during the piano performance: I reconstructed some threads of meaning for… themes/motifs\, proceeding in precisely the opposite way to what happens in the music. The result is a captivating and alternating journey\, halfway between the “sound of the word” (possible and rediscovered meaning) and the “sound of the instrument” (a meaning that is proposed and then shattered)\, dense with a new drama\, which intends – perhaps – to acknowledge the current state of BEWILDERMENT\, which now binds and unites us all. \nGirolamo De Simone \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Carmen Gallo\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Michele Zaffarano\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Girolamo De Simone\, Tristano per Nanni\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 Photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/mille-nanni-1-luglio/ LOCATION:Casa Morra\, Salita San Raffaele 20C\, Napoli\, 80136 CATEGORIES:Casa Morra ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/de_simone_brochure_page-0001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220701T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20230131T170000 DTSTAMP:20260515T224904 CREATED:20221115T092421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221115T092421Z UID:10764-1656662400-1675184400@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:Mille Nanni DESCRIPTION:Mille Nanni is an exhibition opened on 1 July 2022 to inaugurate a series of meetings dedicated to Balestrini. It presents his artistic journey\, exploring the complexity of his thought through archive material\, collages\, and sculptures from the nineties\, in addition to his prose\, and poems. \nNanni Balestrini’s work shows a powerful creative and political commitment\, manifest through tireless experimental research spanning different expressive languages. A keen observer and protagonist of today’s world\, Balestrini invites us to look at reality not as a monolith but to take it in through a thousand glances\, a thousand visions\, multiplying and distorting it\, challenging it. The artist’s universe is composed of constellations of poetic words\, denuded and sometimes violent\, searching for authenticity in a world of neo-capitalist inauthenticity. \nComplementing the permanent exhibition dedicated to him\, “Mille Nanni” is a diffuse exhibition throughout the building\, showcasing the multidisciplinary character of the artist’s work\, with a focus on his poetic sensibility. \nfaster and faster/ breathing in through the nose/ always the same beat/ being reduced/ still here saying doing/ to reach/ now not breathing/ safe and sound and no longer knowing/ who we are nor (Nanni Balestrini\, Caosmogonia\, 2010). \n  \nNanni Balestrini\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra \n  \nNanni Balestrini\, Mille Nanni\, Casa Morra\, Naples\, 2022 photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/mille-nanni/ LOCATION:Casa Morra\, Salita San Raffaele 20C\, Napoli\, 80136 CATEGORIES:Casa Morra ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/DSC5323.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220624T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220624T210000 DTSTAMP:20260515T224904 CREATED:20220622T095515Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220622T095846Z UID:8658-1656082800-1656104400@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:FIGURE DI FILO DESCRIPTION:24th june 2022\nSTART WORKSHOP 3.00 p.m.\nSCREENINGS 6.00 p.m.\nCONCERT 9.00 p.m.\nLa Casaforte\nPiazzetta Trinità degli Spagnoli\, 4\, Naples \nCurated by Lola Posani (Akrida Festival)\, Giulio Nocera (La Digestion\, Phonurgia)\, La Casaforte S.B. \nPlaces are limited – Admission by contribution – To book\, please send an email to figuredifilo@gmail.com \n𝐅𝐈𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐃𝐈 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐎 is a programme\, a practice\, a game\, a desire\, an idea that seeks its own form and texture. It is the result of the collaboration between Giulio Nocera (former founder of La Digestion festival)\, the Sound Art festival AKRIDA (Lola Posani)\, the art space La Casaforte in collaboration with the Fondazione Morra and with the support of the EM-ARTS association. \n𝐅𝐈𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐃𝐈 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐎 (string figures) is an expression borrowed from the thinker Donna Haraway who\, in turn\, borrows the expression from one of mankind’s oldest hobbies (string game\, cat’s cradle) to imagine a new way of existing and of constructing narratives. \nAs Haraway clearly explains\, the figures created by the threads in string figures game are like stories\, proposing and activating complex patterns that participants can occupy and inhabit. \nSome Navajo thinkers describe string games as a type of pattern-making useful for restoring hózhó\, a term that can be imperfectly translated as ”harmony”\, ”beauty”. But making figures of thread also means weaving unprecedented relationships\, letting threads hang\, presenting enigmas\, promoting multi-species becoming-with\, in «a risky game of worlding and storying; it is staying with the trouble». \nOur game opens on 24 June with its first event\, Figure 1\, which will let the first threads hang at La Casaforte\, a space for independent art and thought born from the recovery of a 16th-century cloister in the heart of Naples’ Quartieri Spagnoli\, inherently dedicated to the game of artistic and relational interweaving. \nFigure 1 is structured into a full day of activities. \nThe first thread runs through the hands of Lola Posani\, voice researcher\, independent curator and Deep Listening facilitator. The workshop proposed by Lola stands at the intersection between her improvisational research and Deep Listening\, a practice created by Pauline Oliveros\, pioneering American composer\, improviser and performer\, which explores the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary and selective nature of listening. \nDeep Listening includes body practices\, sound meditations and work on scores\, as well as conscious listening to the sounds of everyday life\, of thoughts\, of imagination and of dreams. During the workshop\, participants will be invited to investigate their inner soundscape and to explore the acoustic reality that surrounds them. \nThe programme is followed at 6 p.m. by the screening of the short film STRATI by Ludovica Battista\, architect\, writer and independent researcher with a transdisciplinary perspective. Ludovica’s work explores the current territorial condition\, the interspecies living flesh of the world\, with a focus on risk\, destruction and invisibility as political and poetic issues. STRATI is the visual result of a long research on the Vesuvian urban agglomeration\, land on the edge of destruction and intimately driven to survival; a study about tearing anthropized landscapes out of superficial visions. Following lava flows from the last extensive eruption from 1631\, images put together a stratified\, emotional way to expose its territory\, to feel it\, to think it and therefore to imagine it. The soundtrack of the film was composed especially for this feature by Giulio Nocera\, a Neapolitan composer. \nDuring the same time slot\, it will be possible to visit 𝗟𝗔 𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗔 – precettare il tempo\, installation curated by Valeria Borrelli with 𝐠𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐍𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐬.  In the installation\, the arms crossed to form an unbroken chain\, clasped by the hands\, offering the right to the companion behind and the left to the one in front\, give life to a movement; a perpetual circular dance is the “rite against the storm” that is ascribed as a “precept of time”\, a request to observe a superior and divine order addressed to the natural elements that threaten it\, in which the actions and souls of the community are brought together to ward off the danger. \nA presentation of both projects will follow at 7.30 p.m.\, as well as a discussion between the authors and the audience. \nThe last event of the day\, at 9 p.m.\, will be the presentation of the Italian premiere of Belgian violinist Clara Levy‘s new solo project 13 visions. Her current musical projects are inspired by erosion\, slowness\, the microscopic and an imaginary Middle Ages. The ’13 visions’ project is an imaginary encounter between two female composers whose musical aesthetics share many common traits\, despite the centuries that separate them: Hildegard Di Bingen and Pauline Oliveros. Their respective visions thus converge in a cycle of thirteen pieces for solo violin. Halfway between composition\, arrangement and quotation\, the starting point of this project is the score of Pauline Oliveros’ text ’13 changes’: thirteen poetic instructions – inspired by earthly or cosmic events. Levy’s project retains the structure intended by Pauline Oliveros\, while her instructions determine the sound universe of each piece through various performance techniques and instrument preparations. The hymns of Hildegard von Bingen appear ‘in the shade’: the violin\, in the role of a drone\, proposes a sober harmonization of the chosen melodies.

By opening Ipogeo dei Cristallini to the public\, we are at the same time renegotiating its identity and proposing new scenarios. In order to do that\, we are using the language of contemporary art which\, like no other\, can express and connect ideas thousands of years old\, turning them into new categories. We also wish to be polyphonic. That is why we are inaugurating our activity with a special kind of installation prepared by the Neapolitan multimedia artist – Maurizio Elettrico. \nSo far undeciphered\, somewhat obliterated\, and mostly anonymous antique stories of Ipogeo dei Cristallini meet during the fanciful banquet with Elettrico’s visionary scenarios for future generations\, that take on a form of a kaleidoscopic mixture of plots\, symbols\, phantasy and reality. Eating and drinking at a common table during a refined ceremony signifies the affirmation of life full of aromas\, tastes and colours\, but also constitutes a gesture of solidarity in passing and reviving. Accepting the invitation to this supernatural banquet\, where food becomes art\, and art turns into food\, we are challenged to enter a kind of game of imagination and creativity. The artist pulls us into a cosmic cycle which enables constant rebirth also through art. Thus the power of nature and the omnipotence of the supernatural find continuous heirs in the timeline that stems from the mysteries of the distant past and the gods evoked in the sacred funeral banquets\, addressing the hopes and fears for the future. [“Cosi la potenza della natura e l’onnipotenza del soprannaturale trovano continui eredi nella linea temporale che dai misteri del lontano passato\, i teoi evocati nei sacri banchetti funebri\, giunge alle speranze e alle paure per il futuro”] M.

This Independent Film Show 22 edition is enriched with an immersive and educational section by planning the lesson Photographic darkroom works by Telemach Wiesinger (Museo Hermann Nitsch on the 16.06 at 6:30pm) and in collaboration with Centro di Fotografia Indipendente the workshops Phytography by Karel Doing (Vigna San Martino on the 17.06 at 11:00am) and Neither Black nor White: simple tinting and toning in 16mm by Richard Tuohy and Dianna Barrie (Centro di Fotografia Indipendente on the 19.06 at 10:30am). \nThe ‘here-and-now’ of the Independent Film Show testifies the fulfillment of a passion – the investigation of the experimental film\, and the sharing of the resulting observations. Beyond the specific systems and conventions\, this art form is autonomous – each filmmaker employs his/her own creative genius experimenting methods and skills often handcrafted – and grants an unusual perceptive experience: the immersion in the frame’s substance through an encounter between participant and filmmaker\, including the projector machines as irreplaceable tools. The celluloid substrate is not simply the vector of photographic images but a territory of imagination and innovation. \nIndependent Film Show emerges as revealing refuge for cinephiles\, where a love for experimental film and pushing audio-visual experiences are shared and a mutual relationship is established. It is not only watching films and videos\, but it is also inherently a way to talk and then spread the discourses. The certainty of multiple alternative visions resurfaces in these new contexts\, resistant to capitalist consumption and in search of a revisiting of society\, maybe starting to understand diversity as encounter with another organism. \non June Thursday 16 \n«ON N’ENCHAÎNE PAS LES VOLCANS» Films selection by JASMINE CLOTILDE PISAPIA \nIn her essay «On n’enchaîne pas les volcans» (One does not chain down volcanoes)\, poet and essayist Annie Le Brun invokes the Marquis de Sade’s fascination for volcanoes as a crucial philosophical motif. “Never before\,” she tells us\, “had the feeling of catastrophe been so splendidly formulated\, including in its erotic implications\, through this grandiose polarity: between desire and the forces of nature.” Volcanoes do not appear merely as images or ideas. Their forms emerge from the movements of matter and the depths of the imagination. Indeed\, one of Sade’s characters – the famous chemist Almani – paused in admiration before the breast of Etna as it expelled its flames: “I desired to be this famous volcano.” If volcanoes are possessed by burning telluric energy\, they also possess bodies and minds. They provide scabrous explosions\, scatological resonances – their calamity is scandalous. The films in this program explore multiple facets of these terrifying\, sensual eruptions. At times\, the camera captures the spectacular event. At other moments\, images quiver with the tension of anticipation\, devotion\, latency\, silence\, and the risk of annihilation. What are these images’ relationships to the sensible world? What has the reality of contemporary crises robbed from our imaginative potential\, from our capacity to invent distorted perspectives? \nWith the generous collaboration of Emmanuel Lefrant\, André Habib\, Pierre-Luc Vaillancourt and the Institut pour la Coordination et la Propagation des Cinémas Exploratoires/ICPCE \nTHOMAS BARTELS Selected 35mm film works presented by Telemach Wiesinger (screened digitally) \nThomas Bartels is a German artist and film maker. His works often involve vivid mechanics and craft. His 35mm analogue films are created at his own trick table and film laboratory. \nTelemach Wiesinger presents three films by his fellow artist\, including a surprise from their collaboration. \nThomas Bartels combines two commonly separate forms of artistic expression: film and sculpture. Kinetic objects become actors in his films and films are part of his sculptures. Yes\, the objects themselves become cinematic in their constant movements\, with their changes in shadow and light: they are ‘cinematographic sculptures’. The mysterious poetry of its mechanics and the clearly composed structures of light and shadow become a thoroughly self-deprecating image of the passing time\, a reflection of our own memories and possibilities (Anne Mueller von der Haegen). \nTELEMACH WIESINGER and his FILM POEM TOUR live in Italy \nTelemach Wiesinger is a narrator. Film camera and image projectors are his tools. His film works are at once visual poems\, travelogues and anthropological studies. The images of his associative and rhythmically edited sequences\, collected on 16mm film\, create a fascinating kaleidoscope of Europe. \nLocations are to be discovered as only the cinematographic gaze can find them. “Black on white” with virtuoso analogue film tools\, the FILM POEM gives things new life. Positive meets negative\, flowing multiple projections show images in dialogue. Pantomimic improvised little scenes marked by affectionate humour awaken further associations. \nWith his equipment consisting of different projectors\, Telemach Wiesinger offers a live performance full of surprises\, characterised by a joy of experimentation. Instead of the anonymous\, always the same reproduction of a picture-sound preserved\, the Cinema Expanded performances create a lively encounter between artist and audience – including words during the reel change. With his FILM POEM TOUR\, Telemach Wiesinger is on the road at international film festivals\, in art museums or galleries and even at special ‘outdoor’ locations as well as in excellent art house cinemas. Always new and always different: Manege frei für Illusionen! Clear the ring for Illusions! Campo libero alle Illusioni! \non June Friday 17 \nTHE CITY BRIDGES ARE OPEN AGAIN Recent films by MASHA GODOVANNAYA \nIn Masha Godovannaya’s experimental films\, intimacy is associated with an activist fervour\, while a well-targeted irony at the level of editing and gesture nevertheless affords space to an uncompromising empathy with the small and vulnerable. Masha’s overwhelmingly personal view highlights the structural and political place of sensuous imagery and reveals the absurdity and machismo in the self-representation of political ideologies. Her feminist\, queer and decolonial methodology is not just an idea that permeates the filmmaker’s work\, but a method that forms the basis for editing heterogeneous materials\, from film fragments and found video footage to her own material and the films of other filmmakers that have been reinterpreted through editing. Defragmentation\, layering\, interspersing and analytically separating images as well as collective collaborative laboring with other artists comprises a queer strategy where “decolonising vision means changing the entire order of things”. This approach to cinema is intertwined with the practice of living and is open to collectivity and transformation (Katerina Beloglazova). \nBIOSPHERE BIOSCOPE by KAREL DOING \nThe technological inventions that have enabled cinema go by a number of inventive names such as Fantascope\, Mimoscope\, Omniscope and Tachyscope. These devices are now relegated to museums and private collection including the portable viewing device called Bioscope. The term bioscope has survived as a name for the movie theatre\, a place where life is recreated in front of the eyes of an enchanted audience. This new way of ‘seeing life’ is a very human affair\, intricately related to the growth of cities\, transportation\, and mechanization. In the present\, the infamous era of climate emergency and species extinction\, the term bioscope appears increasingly sinister. Where is actually the aliveness that this venue should present? Is it even possible to present life by means of technology? This programme engages with aspects of life that are rarely presented as meaningful in the context of cinema: plants\, mushrooms\, microbes\, and algae. Beyond these impactful and often overlooked creatures a number of better-known animals also appear on screen as creators of a strange form of music. Ideally\, such a focus beyond the human revitalizes the human participants in this great tragedy as well\, bringing people together to more fully appreciate their inclusion in the biosphere. \non June Saturday 18 \nIT GOES WITHOUT SAYING by GREG POPE \nIt Goes Without Saying is a film/sound/performance piece based on a text/poem of the same title. Images in color and black+white are super-imposed from two 16mm projectors. \n…I always felt it was incredibly exciting and profitable to look back in order to move forward. From the very beginning of my interest in moving image\, I was immersed in the work of early pioneers\, especially Méliès and his contemporaries – who seemed to find a natural link (which I also believe in) between film and alchemy\, the occult\, magic\, hallucination and trickery. I also started to look further into pre-cinematic technologies\, the magic lantern methods of creating movement and also Javanese shadow puppets\, which were integrated into much of my work with Loophole Cinema in the 1990s – and still form a cornerstone of what I create now. In the blind rush into a digital utopia\, there is still an amazing amount of unexplored territory left behind\, and this is the landscape where I like to wander and wonder (Greg Pope). \nHAND AND MACHINE Handmade 16mm films by RICHARD TUOHY and DIANNA BARRIE \nCinema was the first inescapably mechanical art. But in this post-mechanical age\, the traditional apparatus of cinema has all too rapidly been deemed obsolete and primitive. Yet the handing over of industrial machinery to anti-industrial users represents one of the prime creative opportunities for re-appraising and re-interpreting the nature of ourselves as transformed by the age of machines. Post mechanical age\, the humanness of the machine can be made evident. Post mechanical age\, machine craft is the new hand craft. This program presents five recent film works from Australian DIY cine experimentalists Richard Tuohy and Dianna Barrie exploring the primitive apparatus of cinema and the relation between hand and machine. \nProgramme \nThe information on the films\, the videos and the expanded cinema performances are available on www.em-arts.org \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Independent Film Show 22nd edition\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Naples\, 2022 photo Stefania Catapano\n \n \n \n \n \n Karel Doing\, Independent Film Show 22nd edition\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Naples\, 2022 photo Stefania Catapano\n \n \n \n \n \n Independent Film Show 22nd edition\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Naples\, 2022 photo Stefania Catapano URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/independent-film-show-22nd-edition/ LOCATION:Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Vico Lungo Pontecorvo 29/d\, Napoli\, 80135\, Italia CATEGORIES:Museo Nitsch ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Locandina-independent-2022_page-0001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220530T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20220530T180000 DTSTAMP:20260515T224904 CREATED:20220523T125053Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220523T141434Z UID:8110-1653933600-1653933600@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:Presentazione libro Presentimenti del mondo senza tempo. Scritti su Emilio Villa DESCRIPTION:30th may 2022\nSTART 6.00 p.m.\nCasa Morra. Archivi d’Arte Contemporanea\nSalita San Raffaele 20/c\, 80136 Naples \nBook preview to present \nPresentimenti del mondo senza tempo. Scritti su Emilio Villa \nby Aldo Tagliaferri\ncurated by Gian Paolo Renello \nMonday 30 May 2022 at 6pm: Gian Paolo Renello previews Aldo Tagliaferri’s Presentimenti del mondo senza tempo. Scritti su Emilio Villa (Argolibri editore\, Ancona\, 2022)\, a volume of essays dedicated to Emilio Villa. The speakers will be Gian Paolo Renello\, the editor of the volume\, and Giancarlo Alfano\, Professor of Italian Literature at the Federico II University of Naples. \nThe volume brings together for the first time all the essays and the principal writings Aldo Tagliaferri has dedicated to Emilio Villa in over 40 years of sharp criticism. With this compendium of a life’s work in pursuit of Villa’s labyrinthine and sibylline poetics\, Aldo Tagliaferri\, one of the leading living critics\, has produced what is\, perhaps\, his most important book\, a text that will surely become a classic of literary criticism\, an indispensable key to the kaleidoscopic oeuvre of Villa’s genius and the cultural processes of hybridization and change that took place in the second half of the twentieth century in Italy and abroad. The volume\, edited by Gian Paolo Renello\, consists of sixteen essays and a video interview entitled Esprimere l’inesprimibile (Expressing the Inexpressible)\, which can be accessed through the QR code inside the book\, edited by Giuseppe Sterparelli and Gian Paolo Renello. It contains priceless unpublished documents\, including two of Villa’s Labyrinths and a postcard from Marcel Duchamp to his friend “Villadrome”. The book comes out at a time critic Andrea Cortellessa has rightly defined the “Villa-Renaissance”. Countless exhibitions showcasing Villa’s works were held in 2021 in Rome\, Macerata\, and other cities\, in addition to conferences in Italy and abroad (work is ongoing to set up an international study centre). Hitherto unknown works and new studies are currently being published\, including Rovesciare lo sguardo. I Tarocchi di Emilio Villa\, edited by Bianca Battilocchi\, also by Argolibri\, in 2021. \n“When\, in some histories or anthologies of Italian poetry\, cancellation has been replaced by hasty additions\, the patch has often proved to be a greater problem than the void it was meant to remedy\, bringing out the flat\, historic and uncritical nature of handbooks\, regarding which publishers\, chronic latecomers\, wish above all to appear à la page. The objective difficulty facing a reader grappling with an oeuvre dispersed across so many publications appearing in limited editions\, mostly privately\, has been circumvented effectively and convincingly by poets who\, despite their mutual incompatibility\, found something with which to engage in the texts available. This was not the case of Montale\, who was perhaps dulled by the hybris to which Nobel Prize winners are susceptible\, nor of Sanguineti\, set on an improbable marriage between artistic avant-gardism and Marxism-Leninism. However\, it did happen\, for example\, with Adriano Spatola in 1975\, Giovanni Raboni in 1989\, Lello Voce in 1994\, and Andrea Zanzotto in 1998. Zanzotto\, the most tireless follower of the vicissitudes of Villa’s poetry over the years\, had formed firm convictions on his work. When I sent him a copy of Niger Mundus in 2006\, he commented: ‘It is a pity that jewels such as these are estranged from large-scale distribution. In Villa’s case\, however\, the more he disappears\, the more you find him…’ (the suspension points are Zanzotto’s)”. \n(From A. Tagliaferri\, “Prolegomeni villiani”\, in Presentimenti del mondo senza tempo. Scritti su Emilio Villa\, Argolibri editore\, Ancona\, 2022) \nEmilio Villa (b. Affori\, 21 September 1914\, d. Rieti\, 14 January 2003). An artist\, poet\, essayist and biblical scholar\, Villa was interested in linear\, concrete-visual\, and sound-visual poetry and art; he is considered a precursor of the neo-avant-garde and one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. He was in touch with Matta\, Duchamp\, and Rothko\, also working with Italian artists such as Burri\, Novelli\, Turcato\, and Schifano. In the 1950s\, he experimented with multilingualism\, mingling French\, English\, Provençal\, Latin\, Greek\, Semitic languages\, and Lombard dialects. With a strong dislike for the ‘Ytalyan’ language (which he considered one of slavery)\, he sought to create interactions between dead languages and living ones through his profound knowledge of etymology. He contributed to several art and literature magazines\, including Meridiano\, Letteratura\, Malebolge\, and Documento Sud. He also founded two highly important reviews: Ex and Appia Antica. With small publishers and galleries\, he produced several limited editions of books and booklets on the art of poetry. Feltrinelli published his collection of essays on art\, Attributi dell’arte odierna 1947-1967\, in 1970. The posthumous\, and still incomplete\, L’opera poetica\, edited by Cecilia Bello Minciacchi\, for L’Orma editore\, is forthcoming. Edizioni Morra has published the following: Comizio millenovecentocinquanta3 (1978)\, Sì\, Ma Lentamente (1997)\, Baptêmes (1997)\, Le Mura di Tebe (2000)\, Scritti Napoletani (2003)\, and Mondo Nero – Niger Mundus (2005). \nAldo Tagliaferri is the author of Beckett e l’iperdeterminazione letteraria (Feltrinelli\, 1977)\, L’estetica dell’oggettivo (Feltrinelli\, 1968)\, L’invenzione della tradizione (Spirali 1985)\, Il Taoismo (Newton&Compton\, 1996)\, La via dell’impossibile. Le prose brevi di Beckett (Edup\, 2006)\, Il clandestino. Vita e opere di Emilio Villa (Mimesis\, 2016). As editor\, he has published Lettere di Ezra Pound (Feltrinelli\, 1980) and Samuel Beckett’s Trilogia (Einaudi\, 1996)\, and\, with Giorgio Barbaglia\, he published Uno e due. Indagini sul teatro dell’onnipotenza (Sipiel\, 1998). With Edizioni Morra he edited POST SCRIPTUM nel centenario della nascita di Emilio Villa (2014)\, and\, with Chiara Portesine\, Emilio Villa e i suoi tempi. Finestre per la monade (Mimesis\, 2016). \nGian Paolo Renello is the author of Italian Poetry 1950-1990 (Dante University Press\, 1996)\, with Gayle Ridinger. He is editor of Segnare un secolo. Emilio Villa: la parola\, l’immagine (DeriveApprodi\, Rome\, 2007) and author of Machinae. Studi sulla poetica di Nanni Balestrini (CLUEB\, Bologna\, 2010).

Il silenzio come musica. La pittura come azzardo is the closing event of the exhibition project “SHOZO SHIMAMOTO/GRANDI OPERE” organized by the Fondazione Morra in Naples\, curated by Italo Tomassoni at the Centro Italiano Arte Contemporanea in Foligno. \nThe retrospective follows the Japanese artist’s experiments from the earliest beginnings to his performances in Italy in the early years of the 21st century\, highlighting the many links between Japanese culture and contemporary research in the arts in the United States of America. \nThe revolutionary scope of the Gutai experiments sparked the interest of the leading Western personalities in the art world of the time. Michel Tapié headed for Japan in 1957\, followed in 1960 by Peggy Guggenheim and John Cage. Cage returned to Japan in 1962 with Clement Greenberg\, Jasper Johns\, and Robert Rauschenberg to visit the Osaka Art Gallery\, the centre where the Gutai group’s creative forces were concentrated. \nWith no rules or categories\, Gutai musical compositions emancipate the element of randomness. In his contributions to the Gutai Journal\, Shimamoto expresses his rejection of the linearity of composition. As some audio productions – now preserved at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Ashiya City Museum of Art and History – show\, it is tonality that occupies centre stage in his musical compositions\, the material essence of sound\, to the detriment of a harmonic combination of the elements that make up the composition. It is no coincidence that in 1966 Allan Kaprow called Shimamoto the “pioneer of the happening”. \nThe points of contact between Shimamoto’s and Cage’s artistic research are their experimentation with performance\, their desire to shatter every kind of category\, to abandon traditional expressive codes\, and their interest in the element of chance and the unexpected. Both artists set in motion action that goes beyond the limits of conventional notation (Cage) and the spatial boundary of the canvas (Shimamoto)\, thus inducing collective and collaborative audience participatio. Presence\, physicality and a new organization of temporal spaces: it is in these three aspects that Shimamoto’s and Cage’s quests intertwine. \nWithin the museum spaces\, in dialogue with the works on exhibition\, John Cage e Shozo Shimamoto. Il silenzio come musica. La pittura come azzardo. becomes the arena for action in which pianist Marco Scolastra performs ten pieces by John Cage\, La Monte Young\, and Erik Satie\, interspersed with reflections by Italo Tomassoni. It is a tribute to two great exponents of 20th-century experimental art and a performative event to explore the shared ground of their techniques. \nThe event is funded entirely by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Foligno. \nProgramme: \nERIK SATIE Gnossienne n.1; Vexations \nJOHN CAGE A Room; Ophelia; In a Landscape; Suite for Toy Piano (n.2); Seven Haiku \nLA MONTE YOUNG\nComposition 1960 #7 \nJOHN CAGE\n4’ 33’’; Bacchanale \nMarco Scolastra is an Italian pianist and the artistic director of AdM – Amici della Musica di Foligno.

Al Hansen\, Dieter Roth\, Jean Toche & Roberto Paci Dalò DESCRIPTION:04 march – 31st july 2022\nOPENING 04 march 5.00 p.m.\nCasa Morra. Archivi d’Arte Contemporanea\nSalita San Raffaele 20 C\, Naples\n \nCurated by Manuela Gandini \nDuring the 2021-2022 edition of Progetto XXI\, Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee and Fondazione Morra present Gli Unici. Al Hansen\, Dieter Roth\, Jean Toche and Roberto Paci Dalò\, curated by Manuela Gandini. The exhibition\, whose title can be loosely translated as “The Only Ones”\, opens at Casa Morra. Archivi d’Arte Contemporanea (Salita San Raffaele 20/C\, Naples) on 4 March 2022 at 5 pm\, with speeches by Patrizia Boldoni\, President De Luca’s Councillor for Culture and Cultural Heritage; Rosanna Romano\, Director General for Cultural Policies and Tourism of the Campania Region; Angela Tecce\, President of the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee; Giuseppe Morra\, Director of the Fondazione Morra\, and Manuela Gandini\, Curator of the exhibition. This will be followed\, at 7 pm\, by a sound performance by Roberto Paci Dalò entitled Niggunim. A film show by Mario Franco will be running at the same time. \nFondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee has been using the Progetto XXI platform since 2012 to explore emerging artists\, the theory and practice of their output\, and the legacy of the innovative art of the last few decades through their exemplary methodology. The project intends to contribute to creating and disseminating alternative narratives and historiographies of the contemporary and defining a regional system of contemporary arts based on collaboration and interchange between public and private institutions in the Campania Region. \nGiuseppe Morra takes up where he left off in 2018 with his 3P+B exhibition showcasing works by Luca Maria Patella\, Vettor Pisani\, Cesare Pietroiusti\, and Nanni Balestrini. He continues his game-based programme where the recurring numerology of 3 and 7 sets the rules. \nThis year\, in fact\, Casa Morra presents its 3+1 for what should officially be the seventh year of exhibitions. But the chosen competitors\, around whom the aura of a Stirnerian uniqueness revolves\, are unpredictable and elusive figures\, nomads who land on their “square”\, freeing themselves from the restrictions inherent to the game. The Ones. \nThis is how the curator describes them: “Like forests or wasteland between buildings\, they were in constant evolution: not rational\, controllable\, profitable\, or safe – they cannot be classified or claimed. No framework can hold them in: they contaminate other terrains of awareness”. \nRoberto Paci Dalò will do a sound performance entitled Niggunim on the day of the opening. \n“Niggun (plural niggunim) means ‘sung tune’ or ‘melody’ in Hebrew and is a form of Jewish religious chant or melody sung in groups. It is a singing technique using abstract repetitive sounds rather than formal lyrics. Verses from the Torah or quotations from other traditional Jewish texts are sometimes sung repetitively to create a niggun. Some niggunim are sung as prayers of lamentation\, while others may be joyful or victorious.” \nRunning parallel to the exhibition is a film review by director Mario Franco\, whose archives are housed at Casa Morra. It is dedicated to “that Stirnerian unicum which\, in individual\, anarchic and self-sufficient experience opposed official morals and customs by pursuing a mode of expression that strenuously safeguarded its individuality without pre-established rules”. His show proposes a programme on historical avant-garde cinema and the experiments of the 1960s and 1970s. \n“Filmmaker-artists such as Man Ray\, Hans Richter\, Jonas Mekas\, Maya Deren and others were beyond economic or technical conditioning. We must continue watching these productions because they are a form of defence against the dematerialisation and standardisation present-day filmmakers and artists seem to be embracing”. \nThe exhibition is funded by the Campania Region’s POC (PROGRAMMA OPERATIVO COMPLEMENTARE) project in “Azioni Culturali della Fondazione Donnaregina – Progetto XXI”. \nBrochure Film Review \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Gli Unici.
