At the end of the evening\, when it’s time to go home\, the people fail to cross an imaginary line beyond the living room they are in. Days pass\, and everyone loses first their manners\, then their personalities\, then their dignity. A Freudian nightmare\, mixed with an ironic social criticism\, although Buñuel\, warned critics against investigating esoteric hidden meanings. In the film there is the theme\, repeatedly proposed by the Spanish director\, the vices of the bourgeoisie\, hypocrisy through which they try to exorcise the fear of life and death. Luxury and culture are fictitious elements\, ostentation of false values. The work\, based on a play by José Bergamin entitled Los Naufragos\, has a strong contemporary feel due to both the winning idea (a sort of dramatic Big Brother in a bourgeois living room) and the surreal\, distressing narrative. Buñuel has always been an experimenter who has made an original contribution to the culture of the twentieth century. \n  \nLuis Buñuel\nActive from the 1920s to 1977\, Buñuel\, from his surrealist beginnings in France\, revolutionized the language of film\, imposing himself as a relentless scourge of human hypocrisies\, which he addressed with a lucid\, fiercely ironic and never conventional. Reviewing and rethinking his films means going through the entire culture of the 20th century: literature and figurative arts\, modernism and avant-garde\, psychoanalysis and surrealism\, critical thought and protests.

The concept of “amour fou” to which the Spanish director refers\, constitutes one of the theoretical cornerstones of surrealism\, a love totally free from any attempt made by the bourgeois morality and the Church to force it into fixed patterns. (The concept of “amour fou” was theorized by André Breton in 1937). Wagner’s “Tristan and Isolde” underscores the film’s tragic progression and justifies the necrophilic ending that\, “is far beyond and many cannot understand it” as Buñuel himself said. The version we present here\, in its original subtitled version\, does justice to Buñuel’s atmosphere\, betrayed by the Italian dubbing.

A surrealist masterpiece. The cut-eye is cinema’s metaphor as art of the vision but also the assumption of different and new perceptive systems\, disruption of passive and static statement of the public. \nJean Cocteau\nLE SANG D’UN POÈTE\n1930 (sound\, original version). \nThe first work committed by the Viscount Charles de Noailles (patron of the Surrealists\, producer of the L’Age d’or by Buñuel too).

Ernst himself participates in the film. In color\, as a censor authority with a red sash on a ceremonial dress. \nLe mistyère de chateau de dès by Man Ray (1929) Inspired by a line from Mallarmé: “a throw of the dice will never abolish chance\,” the film is dedicated to the Viscountess of Noailles\, Man Ray’s patron\, and her luxurious residence. \nFernand Léger’s The Girl with the Prefabricated Heart (1949) Léger pokes fun at the American use of serial marriages\, staging a pantomime of mannequins to the tune of a popular song sung by Libby Holman. \nAmong the avant-garde movements of the 1920s\, the most “revolutionary” was the Surrealist movement. The territory that the artists of Surrealism set out to explore was that of the unconscious. It is the most popular artistic movement of the 1900s. The term has become so popular that today “surreal” is commonly used to designate that which is strange\, supernatural or unexpected. One of the basic beliefs of surrealism\, as stated in the 1924 “Manifesto” of André Breton\, its creator\, was the “amour fou”: that is\, obsessive love\, the kind of love that overwhelms the senses and drags uncontrollably in the vortex of feelings. For Breton\, the dream is the place where all the drives and desires repressed by the censorship represented by the bourgeois norm are manifested. The Surrealists want to bring out the unconscious side of each\, a primitive and disruptive side of the established order. In its highest expressions\, the surrealist cinema is really a subversive art that brings to the extreme consequences the dreamlike and paradoxical vision of the great similar painting of a Dali\, a Magritte\, a Max Ernst. We could also say that all cinema is a bit surrealist if it is true that the screen is like an open window on the dreams\, nightmares\, monsters\, ghosts and forbidden passions of all of us.

Dedicated to research music and new languages in contemporary sonar art. The festival was created by the association Phonurgia (founded by four young Neapolitans Giulio Nocera\, Mimmo Napolitano\, Renato Grieco and Andrea Bolognino)\, in collaboration with the association E-M Arts and the Morra Foundation. \nAlready established as a reference point for research music from a wide variety cultures\, the festival again has performers recognized internationally for their artistic excellence. The festival opens with concerts from David Moss and Tomoko Sauvage\, two influential composes in contemporary sonar experimentation. Performances will be held at Casa Morra\, a place of experimentation and learning that has always been open to interdisciplinary events. The Paris based Japanese artist\, Tomoko Sauvage\, is fascinated by the sound of fluids; in her work she makes use of bulbs and specially made microphones to amplify the falling of water droplets to create a “natural synthesizer”\, giving life to a rarified and liturgical atmosphere. Inspired by the music of Anayampatti Ganesan\, the celebrated Indian jal tarang virtuoso\, a percussion instrument made of water filled bowls\, Sauvage amplifies drops\, bubbles and waves by means of microphones and creates hypnotic and dreamlike sonar landscapes. World renowned vocalist and composer\, David Moss\, collaborator of Luciano Berio\, John Zorn and Frank Zappa\, as well as director and cofounder of the Institute for Living Voices in Berlin\, gives a solo performance using voice in a flamboyant and innovative manner to be then accompanied by a choir composed of local volunteers and taught by David Moss himself in a workshop organized the previous day. David Moss is a pioneer in the medium of solo concertos for vocalists and maestro of sonar poetry and the power and passion of the human voice in its seductive physicality and surprising forms is expressed in every performance of the Provokalia Choir in a kaleidoscope of phrases\, loops\, patterns\, timbres\, chants and vocal dances. Casa Morra becomes once more a place for research and experimentation\, establishing itself as a multi-faceted space open to the knowledge and diffusion of performance and multi-media art. \nThe Festival is increasingly a platform turned towards the exploration of themes and currents that have criss-crossed contemporary experimental music. An entire day is dedicated to musique concrète\, the compositional practice involving the use of concrete sounds and noises recorded from daily-life and then creatively transformed. The majestic nave of the Saint Potito Church will be the fifth scenography of François Bonnet’s concerts\, known as a musician under the name of Kassel Jaeger and Director of INA-GRM of Paris\, a space native to musique concrète\, and of Lionel Marchetti and Jérôme Noetinger – some of the most influential figures in the movement and creators of the so-called cinema pour l’oreille (cinema for the ear)\, a sonar modality with affinities to the work of the maestro of Audiovision\, Michel Chion\, and to the Metamkine collective. The three artists will make the nave a temple to multi-channel listening\, an acusmonium\, an architecture of loud speakers that give body to an authentic tri-dimensional acoustic experience. The concerts will be preceded in the afternoon by a round table discussion during which the three artists will reveal some of the secrets of their artistic work. \nWith the intention of reconstructing the aesthetic dimension and exploring the theoretical aspects of music\, The Digestion proposes a free seminar over three days held by the philosopher Carlo Serra\, Professor of the Theory of Imagination and Sound and of Philosophy of Music at the University of Calabria. The seminar will invite reflections on the sound-world relation and on listening as a learning dimension\, equipped with the intellectual tools of Philosophy and Ethomusicography. \nFor its third edition\, La Digestion welcomes two new European figures active in the research and promotion of Sonar Art: In Situ Contemporary Art Foundation from Sokolowsko\, Poland\, and N.K. Projekt from Berlin\, with which a new project is generated\, MUSICA SANAE\, aimed at the exploration of the relationship between music and medicine\, and on a more general level that between Art and the care for one self through the realization of sound works\, installations and ad hoc research work given to some of the most representative artists and researchers on the contemporary international scene. \nThe approach to sonic material becomes visual\, cinematographic and corporeal since it is the body that offers itself as a cross-roads for communication\, sound\, and imagination. The exceptional location will be the beautiful and prestigious Maschio Angioino that has opened up its internal and external spaces to sound\, gesture\, and word\, transforming itself into a “Citadel of Music”. The porosity of the archaeological excavations meeting the austere structure of the Sala dei Baroni in a reference of reverberations that will echo around the castle over the two days. Performances of the MUSICA SANAE project will be from the following artists: Okkyung Lee\, Felicia Atkinson\, Anthony Pateras Pseudacusis (with C. Mallozzi\, R. La Foresta\, M. Majkowski\, G. Lebik\, T. Bertoncini\, L. Capece)\, FIS\, C.M. Von Hausswolf\, Croatian Amor\, Rudolf Eb.er\, Erik Bunger\, Luciano Chessa\, Michal Libera\, Barbara KingaMajewska& Tony Di Napoli\, Eks\, E-cor\, InconsolableGhost\, lesénérves\, SeppoRenvall. \nThe Festival program will be enriched further by a selection of films presented by Raffaella Morra and by sonar massage sessions held by the French duo Phonoscopie and available through advance booking. \nTHE PROGRAM\nDavid Moss [USA/DE] + Tomoko Sauvage [JP/FR]\nMarch 23th\nCasa Morra\, Salita S.

(Gütersloh 1926)\nThe film is a journey through a restless life\, that of a man possessed by music\, his artistic and existential journey\, between momentary losses and continuous transformations\, heartbreaking fractures and flashes of serenity. “Enhancing the beautiful material of the Istituto Luce\, we retrace\, through the composer’s pains and impatience in his father’s house\, the stages of Nazism and the horrors of war – says the director – The study of musical composition will be investigated through interviews with those who knew and studied him (Roland Baoer\, Alessio Vlad\, Nanà Cecchi\, Pierluigi Pizzi\, Gioacchino Lanza\, Ilaria Borletti Buitoni\, Nuria Nono\, Massimo Cacciari) and who collaborated with him. And then the music that takes flight\, in the adored Italy\, the Dionysian and liberating south\, Naples\, the San Carlo\, the Italian glamour (of the years ’55-’75)\, Ischia\, Piedigrotta and the utopia of the Mediterranean life that is realized. In Naples\, the love between Hans Werner Henze and the poetess Ingeborg Bachamnn\, who was born and died told in the reading of the correspondence “Letters from a friendship”. And then\, score after score (Tom Thumb\, The Prince of Homburg\, Der Junge Lord\, Elegy for Two Young Lovers\, Gogo no Eiko)\, poised between experimentalism and tradition\, the story of the composer’s experience and the birth of the “Cantiere di Musica” school in Montepulciano.

A work that is even paradoxical for its rigor and formal coherence\, which remains unique and unrepeatable\, also due to the death\, almost contemporary to the first screening\, of the author who was unable to continue his research. \nHans Richter\nRHYTHMUS 21 (1921?/25)\nDir.: Hans Richter; 35mm\, 65m\, 3’30” (16 fps)\, Münchner Stadtmuseum / Filmmuseum. \nRichter explores the dynamic transformation of signs in time\, a harmonic time that can be linked to musical expression (Richter was\, among other things\, a friend of Ferruccio Busoni). And if in these first experiments he films\, with the technique of carton decoupé animation\, abstract figures\, pure and regular: “the rhythm\, or rather the articulation of the units of time\, constitutes the sensation par excellence that can provoke any expression of movement in the art of cinema”. \nFILMSTUDIE (1926)\nDir.: Hans Richter; ph.: Hans Richter\, Endrejat; music: score from “La Création du monde” by Darius Milhaud; 6′ (16 fps)\, Nederlands Filmmuseum. \nRichter approaches the Surrealist theme in this film based\, by his own admission\, on a dream\, and which represents the expressive-technological means of verifying the reliability of the passage between graphic abstraction and its formal and rhythmic equivalent derived from re-elaborations of reality. \nOskar Fischinger\nSTUDIES NR. 5 in jazz (1929)\nProject for a live musical synchronization. The simple\, essential strokes\, sketched in charcoal and then presented in the further fascinating indistinctness of the negative\, are formed\, grouped\, and pulsate. \nEIN FORMSPIEL / [A FORM-PLAY] (1927)\nDir.: Oskar Fischinger; 35mm\, color\, 6’10” Deutsches Filmmuseum. \nOne of Fischinger’s experiments in the pre-sound era\, to be sonorized in performances by musicians with a multimedia effect\, as we would say today. The fascination of abstraction in constant mutation\, with many specular passages\, with the pulsating and continuous explosion of regular figures in evolution. Part of the material here colored with the classic systems of silent\, will become the experimentation of the system Gasparcolor. \nMÜNCHEN-BERLIN WANDERUNG [Journey from Munich to Berlin] (1927)\nDir.\, ph.: Oskar Fischinger; 16mm\, 4′ (18 fps)\, Deutsches Filmmuseum. \nJumping images of faces\, bodies\, animals\, clouds\, landscapes\, burnt frames\, memories of his journey between the two cities\, which in the concrete abstraction typical only of cinema\, evoke the representation of the process of memory. Fischinger uses the single-frame technique\, as will later be done by the most important filmmaker of the American underground\, Jonas Mekas. \nMan Ray\nLE RETOUR A LA RAISON (1923)\nIn this film the American artist\, who had just moved to Paris\, uses the technique of rayography (contact photography) of which he was the pioneer. We see on the screen of everyday objects such as springs\, nails\, night lighting\, the writing “dancer” with cigarette smoke\, light and shadow on the wall and finally the naked breast of Kiki de Montparnasse\, muse-model in many works of Man Ray. \nEMAK BAKIA a cinépoéme [Leave Me Alone] (1926)\nWith Kiki de Montparnasse and Jacques Rigaut \nA long series of images according to the incongruous surrealist juxtaposition\, rayograms and rotating optical effects: lights\, flowers\, nails. Wooden constructions and cardboard silhouettes that mimic human movement. A woman in a car drives along country roads. Farm animals. She gets out of the car and dances to the sound of a gramophone: dancing legs\, sea\, swimming fish\, geometric shapes\, cut glass. A man removes his starched collar. A girl has flashily painted eyes. When she opens her eyelids\, we discover her real eyes. \nFernand Léger\nLE BALLET MECANIQUE (1924)\nD. Fernand Léger\, Dudley Murphy; photography: Dudley Murphy\, Man Ray; music: Georges Antheil. \nGeorge Antheil\, a desecrating and original musician dictates the rhythm of the film. The disjointed silhouette of the Tramp presents the mechanical ballet. A woman is swinging on a swing in the garden. Objects break in: a straw hat\, numbers\, wine bottles\, a white triangle. Kiki’s lips shine. Wheels\, pendulums\, a convex mirror that swings; a pendulum\, a kaleidoscope; white geometric shapes on a black background; eyes that open and close; a male head appears in the kaleidoscope; the mold for a pudding\, a flower; a parrot; geometric shapes\, a spinning top in the kaleidoscope; marching feet; passing car; merry-go-rounds; pistons and plungers; spinning top\, kitchen whips; woman climbing stairs (repeated many times); enigmatic smile; zeros\, words (“on a volé un collier de perles de 5 millions”); eye; spinning doughnut; words and numbers; a puppet that approaches and recedes; circle; the woman’s face in the kaleidoscope that changes from serious\, to sad\, to happy; moving objects; pots in a row; geometric installation; sphere; mannequin legs; Finally\, the Tramp returns and the film ends with the girl on the swing sniffing a flower while smiling.

The event\, what has the patronage of Goethe Institut Neapel and Museo Cappella Sansevero\, will be open to the public until the 6th of April 2019. This project was inspired by Curzio Malaparte’s eponymous novel “The Skin”. The exhibition is a fictionalization of war-time Naples. Black and white photos visualize the sense of melancholia\, fear and insecurity that the inhabitants of the Southern Italy city experienced in 1943.\nPhotos are accompanied by the video “Hosios. Bread eaters” realized in collaboration with Daniele Rosselli and the duo of electronic music retina.it. The photos and video feature protagonists internationally renowned actors and artists  such as Alessandra Asuni\, Giovanni del Monte\, Federica Di Lorenzo\, Duccio Giordano Effimerus\, Eddy Fiorillo\, Rosalyn Hart\, Marialuna Papa\, Stefano Fico\, Cristina Messere\, Peppe Papa\, Marco Palumbo\, Massimo Pastore\, Riccardo Pisani\, Daniele Rosselli\, Fabio Rossi\, Ramona Tripodi\, Imma Villa\, Riccardo Greco\, Marcello de Bossa\, Roberto Tranchese\, Luca Capasso\, Filippo Pernice\, Claudio Cesarano. \n“The tragic events of the Second World war are the background of the exhibition\, but with her acute eye the artist does not focus on the ruins and rubbles. She discovers unexpected details of intimacy and subjectivity\, she portrays surreal elements\, awaking different emotions so that the spectator averts his or her gaze from the atrocities of the war. The light that spreads and illuminates\, opening white bursts in the darkness and in the silent scene holds an echo of hope and life. An ancestral force prevails on despair\, frost and starvation. The artist knows how to reconcile misery and decorum\, the tragic and surreal\, offering a range of images pervaded by a visual delirium \, theatricality and grace. The evocative complexity of her research widens reaching out to cinema and literary fascinations.” \nValentina Rippa \nAdelaide Di Nunzio lives between Cologne (Germany) and Naples (Italy). The first exhibition of this project was realized in Cologne in October with a great media and public success. She was born in Naples in 1978. She graduated at Academy of Arts in Naples and she moved to Milan to attend the photography and contemporary photographic design at Photography School “Richard Bauer”. She has devoted herself to different genres of photography\, from stage photos (music and theatre)\, to journalistic news and reportages. She is also a teacher of graphics and art of photography. Currently\, she is working on projects both in the field of art photography and reportage. Her approach to images is always socio-anthropological in search of symbols and evocations in order to realize an emotional communication through which viewers are stimulated to reflect on the subject.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Adelaide Di Nunzio dal progetto fotografico “La Pelle” tratto dal’ omonimo libro di Curzio Malaparte misure 50/70 cm stampa fine art su carta cotone Hahnemuhle cornice in legno nera edizione: 5 copie e una copia d’artista\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Adelaide Di Nunzio dal progetto fotografico “La Pelle” tratto dal’ omonimo libro di Curzio Malaparte misure 50/70 cm stampa fine art su carta cotone Hahnemuhle cornice in legno nera edizione: 5 copie e una copia d’artista\n \n \n \n \n \n Adelaide Di Nunzio dal progetto fotografico “La Pelle” tratto dal’ omonimo libro di Curzio Malaparte misure 50/70 cm stampa fine art su carta cotone Hahnemuhle cornice in legno nera edizione: 5 copie e una copia d’artista\n \n \n \n \n \n Adelaide Di Nunzio dal progetto fotografico “La Pelle” tratto dal’ omonimo libro di Curzio Malaparte misure 50/70 cm stampa fine art su carta cotone Hahnemuhle cornice in legno nera edizione: 5 copie e una copia d’artista\n \n \n \n \n \n Adelaide Di Nunzio dal progetto fotografico “La Pelle” tratto dal’ omonimo libro di Curzio Malaparte misure 50/70 cm stampa fine art su carta cotone Hahnemuhle cornice in legno nera edizione: 5 copie e una copia d’artista\n \n \n\n  URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/archivi-mario-franco-adelaide-di-nunzio-la-pelle/ LOCATION:Casa Morra\, Salita San Raffaele 20C\, Napoli\, 80136 CATEGORIES:Casa Morra ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/invito-ADELAIDE-DI-NUNZIO.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20190222T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20190520T200000 DTSTAMP:20260516T040839 CREATED:20201109T185500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210115T170102Z UID:4387-1550829600-1558382400@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:In the Volcano - Cai Guo-Qiang e Pompeii DESCRIPTION:February 23rd  – May 20th 2019\nOPENING February 23rd\, 4:30 p.m.\nMANN – Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli\nPiazza Museo 19\, Napoli \nCurated by Jérôme Neutres \nAn explosion of fireworks and colours in Pompeii’s Amphitheatre to relive the tragic and\, at the same time\, vital dynamics of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius\, in a timeless poetic journey telling the story of the destruction and rebirth of Pompeii.\nIt will be a unique performance by artist Cai Guo-Qiang\, who on February will execute his “Explosion Studio” in the arena of the Amphitheatre. It will be an artistic explosion whose different phases will bring to life again not only the tragedy that devastated Pompeii but also its fortunate discovery\, bringing to light exceptional historical and archaeological finds.\nThe works created from this explosion event\, together with the video of the performance\, will then be transferred to the MANN (National Archaeological Museum of Naples) from February 22nd (with a vernissage at 4.30pm) until May 20th\, 2019. Spread throughout the museum (from the Farnese Collection to the frescoes section\, from the lobby to the mosaic collection)\, Cai Quo-Qiang’s works will narrate the indissoluble link between past and present\, and between Eastern and Western culture.\nThe project’s art curator is Jérôme Neutres\, director of La Réunion des Musées Nationaux Grand Palais and president of the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris.\n“In the Volcano. Cai Guo-Qiang and Pompeii” hosts at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii is made possible with special support of Morra Foundation.\nWith this double artistic engagement\, Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang thus continues his work in Italy after the success of his firework performance in Florence (“Cai Guo-Qiang. City of Flowers in the Sky”) and the solo show “Flora Commedia alle Gallerie degli Uffizi”\, running until February 17th\, 2019 as part of Cai Guo-Qiang’s larger project\, “An individual’s Journey through Western Art history”.\nWinner of numerous cultural awards\, including the Golden Lion at the 48th Venice Biennale\, Cai was also in charge of the special and visual effects at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.\nHis artistic output\, which has always involved different media\, from drawing to installations\, from video performances to painting\, then began to focus on the special use of gunpowder that brings strength and vitality to the creative expression in his explosion installations.\nThe explosion at the Amphitheatre of Pompeii will be a one-of-its-kind event thanks to the uniquely awe-inspiring location: the event will be re-presented and visible to the public during the Exhibition at the MANN\, of which it will form an integral part.\nAt the Amphitheatre\, copies of objects linked to daily life and art in Pompeii will be suspended on a large 30-metre white canvas\, resting on a platform; these will include reproductions of sculptures from the MANN collections\, such as the Venus Callipigia\, the Farnese Hercules and Atlas\, and the bust of Pseudo-Seneca. There will be small original canvases\, produced at Casa Morra; they will be filled\, in the wake of the gunpowder explosion\, with drawings and colours inspired by the findings housed at the Archaeological Museum.\nThe Pompeii exhibition with the evocative title “Canvas of Civilization” is in three parts – small explosions will disrupt the artefacts arranged on the canvas\, marking it violently and inexorably\, with the same ruthlessness that has left its mark on human lives; after a brief pause\, there follows “Sigh”\, using coloured fireworks lined up along the canvas and pointing towards the sky as though in an unrelenting volcanic eruption\, fireworks that will recall the sound of a heavy sigh\, that of the rise and fall of human civilization. After another short break\, peace will reign once more. Then “Excavation” will begin – amid the last fumes; the artist and his team will bring to light the “archaeological ruins”.\n“Pompeii is a place of the contemporary\, I take a loan this thought of Massimo Osanna\, to whom we owe the promotion of this project\, which I find very significant.” – declares the interim Director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii\, Alfonsina Russo – Pompeii\, suspended in time\, has always captured the imagination and creative spirit of artists of all ages\, reminding us that the tragic event of 79 AD was impressed by the collective memory for eternity\, not only for its unique history and testimony of an era\, but also because of the profound sense of fragility and impotence we constantly refer to “.\nAfter the Explosion Studio in the Amphitheatre\, the “In the Volcano” journey will come to its natural conclusion with the exhibition at the MANN: the long canvas used for the performance in Pompeii will be on display in the Museum lobby\, stretching out among the arches and vaults like a protective veil to welcome the public until March 11th.\nIn addition to the great masterpieces of ancient statuary\, copies of the Farnese Hercules and the Venere Callipigia\, reinterpreted by Cai through the colours of the explosion\, will also be installed\, and the three busts of Pseudo-Seneca in various colours as symbol of the different identities of Seneca the Young – tragic poet\, philosopher and involuntary mentor of dictators – in an interplay with the various architectural forms that will attract the gaze of the visitors.\nThere will be many surprises in store for those who follow the path traced by Cai Guo-Qiang through the Archaeological Museum: the evanescent traces of gunpowder on canvas will evoke references to the figures of classical iconography\, just as the presence of the extraordinary installations in the various rooms will invite reflection on the continuity between past and present.\nWhile vases and terracotta objects will be displayed on simple platforms\, evoking the everyday life of the Ancient Romans\, the reproduction of a boat\, anchored to the wall and placed alongside the frescoes of Pompeii\, will disclose the timeless secret of an ongoing artistic journey. \nCai Guo-Qiang was born in 1957 in the city of Quanzhou\, China. He trained at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and has worked with a variety of artistic media including drawing\, installation\, video and performance. During his stay in Japan\, from 1986 to 1995\, he explored the properties of gunpowder in his drawings\, undertaking a journey of research that led to the development of today’s explosion events. Drawing upon Eastern philosophy and contemporary social issues as a conceptual basis\, his artworks respond to culture and history and establish an exchange between viewers and the larger universe around them. His explosion art and installations are imbued with a force that transcends the two-dimensional plane to engage with society and nature.\nCai Guo-Qiang was awarded the Golden Lion at the 48th Venice Biennale in 1999\, the Culture Award at the 20th Asian Culture Prize in Fukuoka in 2009\, and the Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation Awards in 2015. He won the Bonnefanten Prize for Contemporary Art (BACA) in 2016. In 2012\, he was among the five winners of the prestigious Praemium Imperiale\, which recognises lifetime achievement in the arts across categories not covered by the Nobel Prize. In addition\, he was named as one of the five artists to receive the first U.S. Department of State Medal of Arts for his outstanding commitment to international cultural exchange. Cai also served as Director of Visual and Special Effects for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. His solo exhibitions and projects include Cai Guo-Qiang on the Roof: Transparent Monument at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York in 2006 and his retrospective I Want to Believe\, which opened at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York in 2008.\nHis first solo exhibition in Brazil\, Da Vincis do Povo\, toured across three cities in 2013. Travelling from Brasilia to Sao Paulo before reaching his final destination in Rio de Janeiro\, it was the most visited exhibition by a living artist worldwide\, with one million visitors. In June 2015\, Cai created the explosion event Sky Ladder Off\, on Huiyu Island\, Quanzhou\, China\, which became the star of the 2016 documentary produced by Netflix\, Sky Ladder: The Art of Cai Guo-Qiang\, directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald.\nCai Guo-Qiang: Fireflies was his largest public art project in the United States in the past decade\, launched in Philadelphia in September 2017\, while the most recent explosion event\, Color Mushroom Cloud\, was held on December 2nd in Chicago. Solo exhibitions in 2017 included Cai Guo-Qiang: October at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts\, Moscow; and The Spirit of Painting. Cai Guo-Qiang at the Prado at the Museo del Prado\, Madrid.\nHe currently lives and works in New York.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n In the Volcano: Cai Guo-Qiang and Pompeii.

Directed by Italian cartoonist and director Sergio Staino\, the film boasts a cast including Vincent Gardenia\, David Riondino\, Paolo Hendel\, Delia Boccardo\, Franco Angrisano\, Beniamino Placido\, Pietra Montecorvino\, Paco Reconti\, and Roberto Murolo. \nCavalli si nasce addresses the eternal contradiction between the scientific and rationalist world view and an irrational but “strongly altruistic and passionate” understanding\, as the director himself puts it. The film grew out of an idea of Staino’s when\, at the age of twenty-five\, he was part of a social/town planning team looking at the territorial problems of the Cilento area\, and focuses on how human beings can be overcome by their emotions and feelings. The “beauty of the locations\, the charm of the ancient sheep tracks\, the tiny Romanesque churches\, and the fascinating Baroque complexes” (Sergio Staino) lead us to “move from one feeling of solidarity to another without attempting to pigeonhole the events in which we are involved into any precise scheme or to interpret them with a cold sense of detachment” (Sergio Staino). \nThe dichotomy between reason and instinct is represented by the film’s two protagonists: Ottavio\, the cultured Florentine prince educated in the enlightened Habsburg-Lorraine school and enchanted with Goethe’s Journey to Italy\, played by David Riondino\, and his young servant and friend\, Paolo\, played by Paolo Hendel. The two travel round the south of Italy\, following in the footsteps of the great German writer\, and fall into a series of adventures and scrapes that engender a sense of indignation and rebellion\, especially in Paolo. The story is set in 1832\, the year of Goethe’s death and at the time when the Age of Enlightenment was transitioning into Romanticism. \nThe film\, which won the 1989 Nastro d’Argento for best soundtrack\, has an original score composed by Eugenio Bennato and Carlo d’Angiò. The music accompanies the viewer through the story: the “algebraic constructions” of Eugenio Bennato\, deliberately interrupted and disrupted by the cracked and emotional voice of Charles of Anjou\, set the rhythm of the entire film. “I had the music in my head even before working out the story in a complete script.” “The task of the music\, in my opinion\, was to bring out this dichotomy (the rational/irrational)\, in a commixture that would juxtapose the song of the farm workers and the refined music of the aristocratic salons; the desperate vocal timbre of Arab songs and atmospheres full of disturbing romantic sensuality”. \nSergio Staino is a draftsman\, writer\, director\, and interpreter of contemporary culture. A restless soul aligned with the Marxist left\, he is a “historical” cartoonist with l’Unità\, of which he is a former director\, but his strips have appeared in countless Italian newspapers and magazines. He lives and works in Scandicci in Tuscany. His most recent publications include the satirical graphic book Alla ricerca della pecora Fassina\, Giunti Editore\, the biography Io sono Bobo with Montanari and Galati\, Della Porta Editori\, and his book Il Pesce with Silvio Greco\, with Slow Food editions\, as well as the illustrations for the book Mamma quante storie by Andrea Satta\, Edizioni Enciclopedia Italiana. In 2017 he decided to discover how a blog works while trustingly awaiting the rebirth of l’Unità from its ashes.

Domenico Maggiore\nVico San Domenico Maggiore\, Napoli \nPalermo and Naples\, Orlando and De Magistris\, two historic cities of southern Italy\, and their mayors\, are leading the civil and institutional resurgence of Italy and Europe against the criminalization of refugees and migrants.\nAlong with their rejection of the Italian government’s “security decree” and its closure of Italian ports to migrants rescued at sea\, the two cities are echoing the desperate appeals of thousands of migrants stranded in Libya. These migrants describe a reality that governments and mainstream media have minimized and even concealed: a living hell\, in which men and women are reduced to slavery and subjected to violence\, kidnapping\, forced labour and torture. Many of them\, convinced by now that Europe offers them no hope\, are ready to be repatriated.\nThe mayor of Naples\, Luigi De Magistris\, will participate in an event\, “The Scream\, listening to the inhuman”\, in the cloister of San Domenico in Naples from 16 to 20 January\, from 11 to 18.30. The event has been created by Exodus\, escape from Libya and Stalker\, and aims at amplifying and disseminating the appeals of migrants that have been sent over many months through social media to Michelangelo Severgnini**.\nDuring the event\, the Mayor will speak by phone link directly with some of the migrants in Libya\, to assure them\, the country and Europe of his commitment to highlighting the gravity of their plight and the urgent need to activate an airlift that will allow the exodus of all migrants\, as requested by the migrants themselves. The gravity and urgency has gone largely unmentioned\, despite the fact that the Italian government and the European Union bear direct responsibility for what is happening in Libya.\nThe mayor of Palermo\, Leoluca Orlando\, gave his support to a similar event\, “The Scream of Palermo”* held during the international summit on Libya\, in Palermo in November.\nThe project in Naples is organized in collaboration with the Fondazione Morra and “l’Orientale”\, University of Naples. \n \n  URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/exodus-escape-from-libya-stalker-the-scream-listening-to-inhumanity/ LOCATION:Chiostro di S.

Permanent Interdisciplinary Workshop of Theatre and Performing Arts Education and research project\, practice and theory DESCRIPTION:november 2018 – november 2019\nFIRST MEETING NOVEMBER 26th 2018 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.\nCasa Morra – Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea\nSalita San Raffaele 20/c\, Napoli \nAs part of the activities promoted by the Fondazione Morra within the spaces of Casa Morra Archivio d’ArteContemporanea\, TeatrInGestAzione\, Gesualdi | Trono’s theater company\, starts the Permanent Interdisciplinary Workshop of Theatre and Performing Arts\, in collaboration with Lorenzo Mango\, professor of the History of Modern and Contemporary Theater of the University of L’Orientale of Naples. The Permanent Workshop is an education and research project which includes various pedagogical activities during the year; it is part of a larger and more complex project which takes the name of C.R.A.S.I. – Centro Internazionale di Ricerche per le Arti della Scena (International Theatre and Performing Arts Research Center)\, in synergy with the Fondazione Morra. A place whereTeatrInGestAzioneexperiments and explores the multiple dimensions of its work. \nThe Workshop includes a preliminary phase and three independent and parallel paths\, starting from November 2018 until November 2019\, interspersed with openings to the audience.\nThe primary path is based on standing periods of work\, focused on the artistic practice of TeatrInGestAzione\, led by Anna Gesualdi and Giovanni Trono\, and other members of the Co. The second punctuated by encounters\, based on different theories and praxis\, with experts of disciplines and studies that we consider complementary to the theatre (History\, architecture\, philosophy\, economy). The third one includes several intensive pedagogic practices\, welcoming visions from the contemporary international independent performing arts (directors\, choreographers\, performers). \nC.R.A.S.I. is a place for a hybrid activity of research\, training\, creation\, which can give rise to fruitful dialogue\, proposing itself as an alternative of constancy\, rigour and discipline\, to lead participants to a preparation needed to cultivate artistic autonomy. \nThe workshop is for us the time and place of mutual understanding\, nourishment; the time of the honesty\, of fragility; the place of the care\, of training. Through it\, we aim to build a kind of presence that is based on the agility of listening\, on receive and reaction; an opportunity to acknowledge ourselves and give rise to a project in common\, and maybe find that we can share a more extended time in the future. Here at Casa Morra\, TeatrInGestAzione will be a living body exhibited at work.

With a positive meaning\, Smashing the Myth celebrates destruction as a semantic act for the construction of new realities\, for overcoming limits and categorizations\, and for the breaking down of physical and identity boundaries. Performance as a preferred artistic expression contains the characteristics of dissolution of language and of osmosis between different forms of art and\, on this occasion\, it is presented trough its innumerable methods: from intervention in urban space to the direct involvement of the body\, from symbolic action to audio visual synaesthetics\, finding in the first experiments of video performance in Eastern Europe a sort of generational baptism. Smashing the myth presents a cross-section of Croatian art today somehow iconoclastic and provocative that gives back a strong and combative image of a generation of artists who\, on the one hand proudly affirms their roots\, on the other hand rightfully claims an idea of ​​art free from the dark economy and from the dominance of capital. Constantly questioning the value and the power of art in society\, it is also evident in their artistic research the direct comparison with the history of art in a wide sense: from the Russian utopia of the early twentieth century to the bitter irony on the contemporary art market today\, passing through the breakdown of barriers between art and life. \nARTISTS: Igor Grubić\, Bruno Isaković\, Sanja Iveković\, Siniša Labrović\, Alen Sinkauz – Nenad Sinkauz\, Sandra Sterle. \n  \nPROGRAM \nMUSEO HERMANN NITSCH\nVico Lungo Pontecorvo 29/d\, Napoli \nFrom h. 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. \nIgor Grubić | Smash the Myth\nBruno Isaković | Fade Into\nSanja Iveković | Inter nos\nDalle 19.00 alle 21.00 \nSiniša Labrović | Artist Index \nIgor Grubić: Smash the Myth\nPhoto and banner from the public intervention at Ex Olivetti Factory\nMUSEO HERMANN NITSCH \nWhatever could be the chosen medium or the modality of intervention up to including the personal style of life\, Igor Grubic consistently applies a political vision to his way of living and therefore to make art. Smash the Myth is in some way a tautology with which Grubic declares\, paraphrasing the radical ideology of the Russian poet of the revolution Vladimir Mayakovsky\, that the NON-POLITICAL art does not exist because any artistic expression\, or even a simple thought\, can only be a political gesture and must reflect the responsibility that artist has toward society. The choice to expose yourself to an audience – and to choose to which kind of audience to be exposed\, including that of the mere art market – is itself a political act. The Smash the Myth series consists of micro-interventions in urban spaces where Grubic\, in a temporary and sometimes illegal way\, affixes a banner to iconic places in various cities. Started in the mid-90s with the project Micro-museum of Revolutionary Heritage\, the series has touched several cities such as Berlin at the Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park and Dresden in front of the Academy of Fine Arts\, and now arrives in Naples in the mythical Olivetti factory. Founded in 1955 on a project by the rationalist architect Luigi Cosenza\, the former Olivetti Factory is a symbol of the humanistic vision of an enlightened industrialist whose business mission was directly linked to the well-being of its workers. With a socialist setting ante litteram for Italy\, Adriano Olivetti\, in Pozzuoli as in the other Italian locations of his factories\, had wanted for his employees a place in symbiosis with nature and equipped with all the necessary services deeply convinced that work is a social redemption tool. Within this small eden for workers\, Grubic has chosen to affix his “motto” on what had once been the library place par excellence for the enrichment of the spirit. \nIgor Grubić (Zagreb Croatia 1969) is known for his political and moral activism and for his operations in public spaces\, often born in a mysterious atmosphere of anonymity\, which aim to generate new meanings such as the 366 series Liberation Rituals (2008) or Black Peristyle (1998). Active since the 90s his work includes performance\, photography and video and since 2000 he starts working as a film producer.\nHis works have been exhibited in numerous exhibitions and international institutions including Manifesta 4 (Frankfurt); Tirana Biennial 2; 11.Istanbul Biennial; 4.Fotofestival (Mannheim); Manifesta 9 (Genk); Gwangju Biennale 20th Anniversary Special Project; ‘East Side Stories’ Palais de Tokyo (Paris); Thessaloniki biennale 5- Ident-alter-ity; ‘The Value of Freedom’\, Belvedere 21 (Vienna); ‘Zero Tolerance’\, Moma PS1 (NY). In Italy\, among others\, he participated in Present Future at Artissima in 2001 and at Il Piedistallo vuoto and Gradi di Libertà exhibitions respectively at the Museo Civico Archeologico and at Mambo in Bologna in 2014 and 2015. He took part at the video program Q.I. VEDO at Quartiere Intelligente in 2016 with the film Monument.\nHe will represent Croatia at the next 58th Venice Biennale.\nBruno Isaković: Fade Into\nMUSEO HERMANN NITSCH \nFade Into is a durational performance series responding to permanent collections and exhibitions in museums and galleries. Artist selects an artwork and through durational performance builds a live installation around its specific political and artistic relevance. During five hours of this performance a whole range of readings of the chosen artwork and their connotations become a canvas on which the performer projects his voice and body. The building elements of this intervention are charged with textual references questioning the specific artwork’s medium\, context\, content and history and its different particularities. By reading these textual references aloud to the museum visitors\, artist fills the space with intangible perspectives as well as corporeal aspects which are attached to the selected work of art and its context. Physical contours and boundaries between corporeal and intangible are gradually blurred as the performer’s body fades into a color that dominates the space. This happens through slow\, meticulous and repetitive movements with which the artists paints his whole body over a period of a couple of hours before the movements subside and we are left with the sculptural stillness of the performer. Embodiment of all hinted and expressed meanings emerges as a live installationthat offers a paradigm shift to museum visitors in relation to a particular space and work in the musem.\nThis work has been performed in Reina Sofia in Madrid\, Museum of Modern Art Bologna\, Zagreb Contemporary Art Museum and Glucksmann Gallery in Dublin always using a different artwork as the focal point. \nBruno Isaković is a Zagreb based performer and choreographer living. He graduated with a degree in contemporary dance from Amsterdam School of the Arts in 2009. From 2011 to 2015 he was a member of Contemporary Dance Studio\, the oldest Croatian contemporary dance company. He is also the Founder and Artistic director of Sounded Bodies Festival in Zagreb dedicated to exploration of relationships between voice and movement\, sound and body. Isaković regularly teaches workshops and dance classes. (Bilgi University of Performing Arts – Istanbul\, Contemporary dance department at The Academy of Dramatic Art – Zagreb\, TSEKH Summer School – Moscow\, etc.) He has received various scholarships\, as well as Jury Award and Best Solo Dance at Solo Dance International Festival in Budapest and Croatian national award 2016 as a best choreographer for his show Denuded.\n  \nSanja Iveković: Inter nos (1978)\nVideo\, 60 minutes\, black and white\, sound\nCourtesy MSU\, Zagreb\nMUSEO HERMANN NITSCH \nOne of the early works of Sanja Iveković\, and the first one in which she included video-camera recording of the performans\, called Inter nos emphasizes the technically established interaction with audience. This participative work consists of two rooms connected by two closed TV circuits without an audio link and an entrance space where a direct transmission takes place for the audience. “During the entire action I am shut in a room\, thus being invisible to the audience. Visitors enter the second room one at a time. A private dialogue develops between us\, as I interfere with the visitor’s screen image\, which provokes his or her individual reaction. Concurrently\, the audience receives only the participant’s image.” (Sanja Iveković)\nThis form of relationship between artist and audience\, angle of viewing as well as an interaction between object and observer played great roll in her works. \nSanja Iveković (b. 1949\, Zagreb) has been reworking the construction of media images to reveal and subvert the constellations of power they conceal and use them for her own purposes since her first appearance in the context of “New Art Practice” in Yugoslavia in the early 1970s. Iveković is primarily concerned with the exploration of images relating to women. The artist has extended her feminist image and media critique to an analysis of the institutional conditions and rituals of the art world. Her performances from this period actively involve the audience as a real presence and absence. Iveković was among the first artists in Yugoslavia to combine performance and video art. In the 1990s her work became more politically orientated and she also initiated important projects as a political activist. Iveković has shown in numerous international exhibitions\, among them the three most recent Documentas in Kassel\, Tate London and MOMA.\n  \nSiniša Labrović: Artist Index\nMUSEO HERMANN NITSCH \nThis performance comes at the right moment as it leans upon the ongoing discussion about the systems of art market(ing)\, or if we allow ourselves a bit of spice\, the myths of art markets. This discussionhas been persistently present for a long time but only since recently has it been possible for work to be auctioned\, shredded to everyone’s surprise and immediately revalued to be worth double. That is the surprising\, even creative\, element of the arts market – we knew it had the power to absorb\, but no one expected this level of suction strength. Therefore\, it seems that to have a gallerist\, to be offered\, namely to have one’s work offered at one of the important art fairs is a condition for survival and success in the contemporary art scene. The performance celebrates those who have made it\, those who have a name\, those who are indexed. Simultaneously\, this performance weeps for those who stayed behind and who form the sea of no-names. Sorrow for the ones left behind mixes well with grains of envy of the others. \nSiniša Labrović is multimedia artist from Sinj\, a small town in Croatia. He has been creating work since 2000 and his emergence in Croatian arts landscape has been explosive\, to say the least. His work has been engaging the imagination of the audience\, media andt hewhole artisticcommunity in Croatia since the very start. Siniša’s work can be described as political\, raw\, direct\, humorous and brilliant in its simplicity – but most of all it has always been daring. His performances dealt with and tackled pedophilia\, corruption\, abuse of political power or mythologie of nationalism\, as well as genuinly philosophical questions of purpose\, (in)significance of human experiences or social responsability. But whatever the subject of the work may have been\, it was made stronger and appealing by anunpretentious commons se that communicated and resonated with the public even beyond what contemporary performance art formats often manage to do. In 2005 he attracted the attention of world media (Reuters\, BBC\, Ansa\, New York Post\, The Guardian\, The New York Times\, NBC\, ABC) with his work „Flock.org“ in which sheep were the actual contestants in a reality show. His works are in the collections of Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb\, Fine Arts Gallery Split\, Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik and numerous private collections. In 2009 he exhibited at the 11th Istanbul Biennial and in 2012 he represented Croatia on 13th VeniceArchitectureBiennale\, titled CommonGround\, together with Pula Group\, Hrvoslava Brkušić\, Igor Bezinović and Boris Cvjetanović.\n  \nSCALA FILANGIERI | QUARTIERE INTELLIGENTE\nScala Montesanto 3\, Napoli\nFrom h. 9:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. \nSandra Sterle | Visiting Reality \nThe project Visiting Reality first started in Belgrade in 2012. It continued in Paris in the same year. The concept starts from the idea that the national identity is the myth that constructs the contemporary world to such an extent that people actually start to believe that that’s what they are. We all are aware that history is more complex and the pure fact that we identify with certain people just because of borders that surround the piece of land can also be taken as a simplifying joke. The fact is that during her life as an artist she expected to expand and envision the complexity of the self and the contemporary world. Instead\, the artist happens to be surrounded by a concept of decay from within the social and political environment that she lives in. This performance in a way compares the national mythology of two countries by using national symbols constructed from the cheap touristic souvenirs\, that often even end up being quite similar. By smashing them on stage and creating sort of dust from these objects\, forming an abstract reality of sorts\, one is finally able to start “reading” beyond the “material” as it comes closer to complexity that our lives are made of. The performance of course utilizes the idea of destruction as a manner to create\, instead of the more traditional principle of construction\, putting these two forces under examination. \nSandra Sterle is an artist from Split who works with film\, installation\, interventions\, photographyand performance. She is professor of performance art and video at the Arts Academy in Split\, Croatia. She graduated from the Sculpture Department of the Academy of Visual Art in Zagreb and continuedher studies at Department of Film and Video at Kunstakademie inDusseldorf\, 1995-96 ( with prof. Nan Hoover). Her works were exhibited and performed in numerous international art institutions like: Museum of Contemporary Art\, Zagreb; Kunsthalle Fridericanum\, Kassel; Museum Ludwig\, Aachen; Museum voorModerne Kunst\,Arnhem; Gate Foundation\, Amsterdam; W139 Gallery\, Amsterdam;Museo de Arte& Disegno Contemporaneo\, Costa Rica; MuseoNational Centro de Arte Reina Sofia\, Madrid; Instytut SztukiWyspa\,Gdansk; Berlin Academy\, Berlin; Museet for Samtidskunst\, Roskilde;Fundacio Antoni Tapies\, Barcelona; Location 1 Gallery New York;Artist Space\, New York; etc. Her works are part of several public archives and collections of MMSU\, Rijeka\, Art Gallery\, Split and private collections.\n  \nQUARTIERE INTELLIGENTE\nScala Montesanto 3\, Napoli\nFrom h.9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. \nAlen Sinkauz e Nenad Sinkauz\nVideo by Ivan Marusic Klif\nAudio-visual performance \nThe performing style of Alen and Nenad Sinkauz draws the audience immediately into their skilled improvisational technique that is a well developed process of instantly creating unexpected compositions. The sound and visual elements of their concerts are further defined by the very architecture and acoustic characteristics of the space in which they play as these condition the outcome of each performance. Due to a complex processing of main sources of sound like guitars\, bass\, different objects\, microphones and pick-ups\, in addition to “field recording”\, the amplifier system as well as the resonance quality of the space both become a significant part of the complete sound image. This performance is a synergy\, in every sense of this word\, between all elements that are brought together not only on stage but everywhere in the space. The music material that is being created by this continuous build up and upgrade of sounds generates the familiarity of industrial\, techno and noise\, but is at the same time wrapped in an abstract atmosphere which over time takes on unassuming and always different forms. This performance plays with our expectations and trust as it allows us to follow the sounds that we may find recognizable but also lets us discover the unexpected on our own before picking us up again and taking us deeper into the very structure of sound. \nAlen Sinkauz and Nenad Sinkauz are originally from Pula in Istria and have graduated and post-graduated studies in musical philology and ethnomusicology in Padova\, Italy. As composers and performers over the last 20 years they took part in various musical\, theatre\, contemporary dance\, multidisciplinary\, radiophonic\, sound art and film projects. Their artistic work\, especially when playing live\, is mostly oriented towards exploring unconventional musical forms\, improvised and creative music.\nThey composed the score for the highly acclaimed feature film Zvizdan/The High Sun directed by Dalibor Matanić (The jury prize “Un certain regard” at Cannes Film Festival\, 2015) and for the Croatian-Norvegian film Goran directed by Nevio Marasović (Golden Arena award for the best soundtrack at Pula Film Festival\, 2017). In the past two years they have been responsible for soundtracks to half a dozen Croatian and international films including composing music for short animated movies “Technement” by BrankoFarac and “Kako se kaliočelik / How steel was tempered” by Igor Grubić.\nIn 2002 Sinkauz brothers founded a band East Rodeo which involves an international group of jazz and rock musicians bringing together avant-rock\, electronic\, noise and improvised music and they released three albums featuring internationally acclaimed musicians such as Marc Ribot\, Greg Cohen and Warren Ellis. In 2010 Sinkauz brothers started the international festival of experimental and improvised music in Pula\, called Audioart which takes place annually.\nThey played and presented their works at countless festivals\, galleries\, clubs and different venues across the USA\, Europe and Japan.\n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 \n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Smashing the Myth – performance art dalla Croazia\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli\, 2018 © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/smashing-the-myth-performing-art-from-croatia/ 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/2020/11/Smashing-the-Myth-invito.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20181111T210000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20181111T230000 DTSTAMP:20260516T040839 CREATED:20201113T114318Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210115T172747Z UID:4443-1541970000-1541977200@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:PSYCHOPLUM! a multimedia opera by DANIELE DEL MONACO DESCRIPTION:November 11th 2018\nSTART: 9:00 p.m.\nCasa Morra – Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea\nSalita San Raffaele 20/c\, Napoli \nPsychoplum! is a live multimedia performance written by the italian composer Daniele Del Monaco and produced in 2012 by the italian experimental collective LCP. The performance starts out from an original script for an electro-acoustic trio with a live video interaction. The 2018 version was totally revisited and arranged for a quartet featuring Marco Cappelli Acoustic Trio and Daniele Del Monaco at the keyboards. Most of the experimental sounds and complex musical forms of the past version turned into songs. The performance tells a story through music and projected images. The Celebraloids species is involved in exploring other planets via the Tellyhand\, which travelling aboard a Psychoplum\, in a kind of intergalactic Odyssey\, captures images from the various worlds explored and delivers them in the King’s presence. From Tellyhand’s innocent and “pure” perspective\, we can discover different universes full of ironic references to our own world. The video material was created through a mixed technique\, using both traditional animation processes and typical video-art techniques. \nThe Marco Cappelli Acoustic Trio (with Ken Filiano\, bass and Satoshi Takeishi\, percussion) explores the “chamber music” sound of Marco’s classical prepared guitar in combination with Ken’s powerful acoustic bass playing and Satoshi’s very special set of percussion. Formed back in 2009 by three of most active improvisers in the New York avantgarde music scene\, gained a reputation through many appearences in New York’s venues as well through two fortunate European tours in 2011 and 2013. The Acoustic Trio repertoire is mostly based on the music that Marco Cappelli writes inspired by the characters of noir writers.\nhttp://marcocappelli.com/projects/marco-cappelli-acoustic-trio/\nDaniele Del Monaco\nComposer\, keyboard player and sailor based in Venice\, born in 1977. He is author of chamber music\, symphonic music\, operas\, music for theatre\, electronics\, electro-acoustic\, multimedia operas\, music for films\, song\, interactive installations. He’s also an interpreter\, improviser\, teacher\, music producer\, band-leader and organizer. In 2007 he started the activity of indipendent producer.The most representative works are: Guernica\, 2007; Simurgh\, 2007 (with Flavio Albanese); Prove di fuga dalla terra\, 2008; Psicosusina Turboaccelerata 2013; Caligola\, 2014; The Zone\, 2014 (with Blixa Bargeld and Theodosii Spassov). For most of them he wrote also the libretto.\nMarco Cappelli\nMarco has lead since the middle 90ies an extraordinary artistic path\, becoming familiar with rigorous written music as well with free improvisation languages: nowadays Marco Cappelli works as contemporary music interpreter\, as side musician for other artists’ projects\, as well as composer and band leader and with his original music. The diversity of Marco’s performances is due to a fascinating array of collaborations: Anthony Coleman\, Michel Godard\, Butch Morris\, Franco Piersanti\, Jim Pugliese\, Enrico Rava\, Marc Ribot\, Adam Rudolph\, Elliott Sharp\, Giovanni Sollima\, Markus Stockhausen\, Cristina Zavalloni\, Raiz… and many more\nKen Filiano\nKen performs throughout the world\, playing and recording with leading artists in jazz\, spontaneous improvisation\, classical\, world/ethnic\, and interdisciplinary performance\, fusing the rich traditions of the double bass with his own seemingly limitless inventiveness. His lengthy discography includes his widely-praised solo CD\, subvenire; for this and numerous other recordings\, critics have called Ken a “creative virtuoso” a “master of technique” “a paradigm of that type of artist …who can play anything in any context and make it work\, simply because he puts the music first and leaves peripheral considerations behind”.\nSatoshi Takeishi\nDrummer\, percussionist\, and arranger is a native of Mito\, Japan. He studied music at Berklee College of Music in Boston\, Massachusetts. While at Berklee he developed an interest in the music of South America and went to live in Colombia. He spent four years there and forged many musical and personal relationships. In 1986 he returned to Miami\, U.S. where he began working as an arranger/producer as well as a performer. His interest expanded to the rhythms and melodies of the Middle East where he studied and performed with Armenian-American oud master Joe Zeytoonian. Since moving to New York in 1991 he has performed and recorded in vast variety of genre\, from world music\, jazz\, contemporary classical music to experimental electronic music.\n  \n  URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/psychoplum-a-multimedia-opera-by-daniele-del-monaco/ LOCATION:Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Vico Lungo Pontecorvo 29/d\, Napoli\, 80135\, Italia CATEGORIES:Casa Morra ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/PSYCHOPLUM-INVITO_page-0001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20181026T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20190502T190000 DTSTAMP:20260516T040839 CREATED:20201113T102741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210115T174031Z UID:4446-1540540800-1556823600@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:Knowing Places DESCRIPTION:October 26th 2018\nCasa Morra – Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea\nSalita San Raffaele 20/c\, Napoli \nA transdisciplinary course on reading and engaging with places through art \nSapere i Luoghi (‘Knowing Places’)\, a project organized by Fondazione Morra\, Fondazione Lac o Le Mon\, and Cantiere Giovani\, winner of the 2018 call for proposals for the “PRENDI PARTE! Agire e pensare creative” initiative run by the Directorate General for Contemporary Art and Architecture and Urban Suburbs (DGAAP) of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities to promote cultural inclusion among young people in areas characterized by situations of economic and social marginality\, gets to the very heart of transdisciplinary-community education. It will use various contemporary artistic idioms to provide methodologies and tools for a new reading of – and engagement with – places through research\, experimentation and artistic expression. \nThe 20 participants\, chosen from 89 applicants in the public selection process for young people\, especially those in the NEET category\, i.e.\, young people who neither study nor work\, will have the opportunity to attend lectures and workshops where they will be able to investigate the concepts and practices of place and identity\, \nterritory and map\, and differences and opportunities\, with input from Prof. Pasquale Persico. Encouraging contamination between the contemporary and the non-contemporary\, Prof. Rossella Bonito Oliva will focus on the possibility of building new crossing points by reversing the relationship between the inner city and the outskirts\, taking the Archives as the point of departure to attain a new\, shared\, imagination. These reflections will lead to the community-based explorations conducted by Nicoletta Ricciardelli\, who will be working with the group in the Avvocata District\, which\, being home to the Museo Archivio Laboratorio Hermann Nitsch\, the Associazione Shozo Shimamoto\, and the Casa Morra-Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea\, will form a basic training ground and a centre of artistic research. That of the “Art District” will become a geography of the imaginary and the virtual thanks to Prof. Mario Franco and “his” film locales: artistic manipulations that “invent” spaces for narrative purposes\, experimenting with the possibility of changing routes and place names\, bringing the sea into the backstreets of Naples\, spaceships into churches\, and surrealist dreams and Dadaist reversals into the story of everyday life. For tutors Loredana Troise and Raffaella Morra\, these collective investigations will turn the territory into “an area sensitive to the inrush of experience\, shaped by what we might call ‘thought from outside’\, to quote Foucault: a fence where a convergence is established between the soul and the forms\, between language and life. \nFrom this point of view\, the workshops run by Cesare Pietroiusti and Emilio Fantin will be of particular importance. With the help of Maria D’Ambrosio\, they will take place in Casa Morra in the Avvocata District and the enchanting Vigna di San Martino\, a piece of urban agricultural land in the heart of the city of Naples\, with vineyards\, citrus\, and other species of fruit trees. The topic of inquiry will by art itself\, the living forms and aesthetics of the process; how contemporary art can relate to places; the difference between site-specific and context-specific; artistic intervention in the urban context\, possible strategies and historical examples; the concept of “relational” and the importance of relating to others. \nLastly\, the experience of community will be consolidated by a residency at the Foundation Lac O Le Mon in San Cesario di Lecce\, in an early twentieth-century farmhouse now given over to autonomous experimentation with self-sustainable and self-organized art and education. The activities will be developed within this framework through discussions on theory and project design\, in a circular exchange of knowledge and new ideas\, of collective reception and production. The work group will therefore be invited to design projects where sharing counts more than individual authorship. It will be a formative experience but also one of artistic production in which the participants will be guided indirectly in the realization of an individual project as well as in the co-production of a collective work representative of the experience. \nThe workshop experience begins in Naples on March 4 and runs until April 7\, 2019. Tutoring will be provided during the production and design of the individual projects before the residency in San Cesareo di Lecce in Apulia\, where “community” and “land” will be the key words until May 2. \nThe fruits of the experience gained outside the city will be on display at Casa Morra – Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea from May 20\, with the preparations for the closing exhibition of the project\, a “demonstration” of the in-out-in transformation process as experienced and interiorized by the participants. \nThe “exhibition of the places included” is scheduled to open on June 1\, 2019. \nBando Iscrizione Sapere i Luoghi (Beneficiari Ammessi) \nAbout the Fondazione Lac o Le Mon\nThe Lac o Le Mon Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to contemporary art and culture founded in late 2015 by artists Emilio Fantin\, Luigi Negro\, Giancarlo Norese\, Cesare Pietroiusti\, and Luigi Presicce. Shortly after its creation\, the Lac o Le Mon Foundation acquired a marvellous building\, renamed Casa Cafausica\, with a large plot of land located on the border between San Cesario di Lecce and Cavallino (in the south-east of Italy). Today\, it is the site of an experimental arts training centre running laboratory activities\, community experiences\, trans-disciplinary activities\, and promoting a culture of sustainability through bringing together and being together\, joint projects\, and osmosis between disciplines\, knowledge and skills.\nwww.lacolemon.wordpress.com \nAbout Cantiere Giovani\nCantiere Giovani is a non-profit organisation founded in 2001 in Frattamaggiore (Na) thanks to a group of young people who\, pooling their social\, educational and cultural experiences in Italy and Europe\, decided to take up the challenge of setting up a secular and independent organisation in the Neapolitan hinterland. The “Il Cantiere” project\, a socio-cultural centre for social aggregation\, has been recognised by the Council of Europe as being one of the most successful in getting young people involved in active citizenship. Cantiere Giovani is a member of the Coordination Committee for International/UNESCO Voluntary Service\, the European Italian Voluntary Network\, and the ITER Network. It promotes the resources of young people by combining social and cultural commitment to support processes of change and emancipation. It shares the running of Piazzetta Durante\, a space for social\, cultural and artistic experimentation.\nwww.cantieregiovani.org | www.piazzettadurante.it \n  URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/knowing-places/ LOCATION:Casa Morra – Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea\,  Salita S.

The grandeur of the staircase consists of being both materially and immaterially ‘out of scale’\, a narrative event of boundless emotion in the ‘immense’ concept of architectural space. With a hexagonal plan\, the design of the planimetric and altimetric layout is the result of the skilful ability of the designer to articulate elementary geometric forms in a plastic and dynamic space\, vibrating with structural tensions as well as multiple symmetrical and asymmetrical visions. These are all elements that can be traced back to Ferdinando Sanfelice. \nThis book originates from the interest in the staircase of Palazzo Cassano Ayerbo d’Aragona of both the editor\, Ornella Zerlenga\, as well as the director of Fondazione Morra\, Giuseppe Morra. The research is developed on the basis of the memorandum of understanding signed between the Fondazione Morra and the Department of Architecture and Industrial Design of the University of Campania ‘Luigi Vanvitelli’ to not only collaborate scientifically\, but also to carry out initiatives that will positively influence the cultural growth of the territory. \nIn this sense\, the surveying and representation of the grandiose staircase of Palazzo Cassano Ayerbo d’Aragona\, in its spatial unity and methodological systematization of monographic research\, was carried out for the first time in 2017 by a research team of the aforementioned Department\, scientifically coordinated by Ornella Zerlenga with Vincenzo Cirillo and undertaken by Gianluca Delle Rose\, Brigida Di Costanzo\, Gessica Friello. \nIntroduced by the institutional roles\, Teresa Carnevale (President of the Fondazione Morra)\, Giuseppe Paolisso (Rector UniCampania)\, Luigi Maffei (Director of the Department)\, this book includes contributions by Pasquale Persico\, economist and co-creator of the social redevelopment plan “Il Quartiere dell’Arte”; Massimo Pica Ciamarra\, co-author of the reuse project of the building open to the neighbourhood; Igor Todisco whose ‘points of view’ conclude the description of a spatially changing staircase. \nThe book\, in Italian and English language\, was published by La scuola di Pitagora. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 photo Daniele Galdiero.\n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 © photo Daniele Galdiero Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 © photo Daniele Galdiero Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 © photo Daniele Galdiero Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 © photo Daniele Galdiero Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 © photo Daniele Galdiero Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 © photo Daniele Galdiero Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 © photo Daniele Galdiero Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 © photo Daniele Galdiero Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n M’illumino d’immenso\, Casa Morra\, Napoli 2018 © photo Daniele Galdiero Courtesy Fondazione Morra URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/millumino-dimmenso-the-staircase-of-palazzo-cassano-ayerbo-daragona/ LOCATION:Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Vico Lungo Pontecorvo 29/d\, Napoli\, 80135\, Italia CATEGORIES:Casa Morra ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MILLUMINO_DIMMENSO_invito_ITA.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20180727T210000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20180727T230000 DTSTAMP:20260516T040839 CREATED:20201113T143953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210115T174618Z UID:4452-1532725200-1532732400@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:Terry Riley & Gyan Riley DESCRIPTION:July 27th 2018\nSTART: 9:00 p.m.\nCasa Morra – Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea\nSalita San Raffaele 20/c \nComing soon on a three-stage tour of Europe: Barcelona (at the Sónar festival)\, then for the first time in Naples\, closing in London (at the Oval Space).\nFor his Italian exclusive\, Terry Riley will perform at the piano and synth with his son Gyan on guitar in the eighteenth-century courtyard of Casa Morra. This event has\, of course\, been organised in conjunction with E-M ARTS by the Morra Foundation\, always keen to propose contemporary neo-avant-garde events in the city. Naples welcomes this great contemporary musician\, inventor of ‘repetitive’ minimalist music\, followed by many other minimalist musicians and popular music ensembles for this unique event.\nHe has spent the last few years on tour with his son Gyan alternating between the typical folk and jazz repertoire and\, of course\, moments of minimal avant-garde.\nThe fascinating Casa Morra – Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea di Napoli offers an exceptional opportunity to listen to and understand the intricate sound structures of the Terry Riley and Gyan Riley duo who\, unleashing intense and vibrant energy\, reach out with their particular artistic communication in a ‘neurotic’ and stimulating way.\nTerry expands the boundaries of a chosen structure and\, with Gyan’s ‘incitements’\, they embark together in unusual directions towards spontaneous and hypnotic creative marathons. This sonic force interacts with the spatial environment and the vigour of the audience\, providing an impactful experience that touches the depths of the soul.\nFor Terry Riley\, music is a way to make a connection with a strong and still indistinct power. Gyan is a virtuoso classical guitarist whose music is influenced by the rhythmic structures of North Africa and Spain. He is an expert in the art of improvisation.\nFather and son create a performance of intuitive matching in which they influence each other in an intense and intimate emotional flow. The harmonic structures generated by the piano and guitar\, guided by the human spirit\, create deep sound textures that intertwine through their reciprocal ability to improvise.\nFor Terry and Gyan\, sound matter is an incessant process coming from the unknown\, made up of modular movement and simple rhythms to be understood as a constant and universal pulse. \nThe founder of minimalism\, Terry Riley spans six decades of avant-garde music\, always faithful to himself\, inventing such flexible processes and structures that\, like his popular Indian ragas\, endure through time and have influenced a wide range of seemingly distant and irreconcilable styles\, from Miles Davis and John Coltrane’s modal jazz to the Canterbury sound of Soft Machine\, to the psychedelia of Pink Floyd\, and the modules of Philip Glass and Steve Reich\, taking on board the rock of The Who and the kosmische music of Tangerine Dream.\nFamous for introducing the ‘repetition of Western musical motifs’\, he devised the first experiments with tape loops and delay systems\, leaving an indelible mark on experimental music.\nHe started performing as a solo pianist in the 1950s\, when\, a classmate of La Monte Young\, he was studying composition in San Francisco and Berkeley. In the ‘60s he organised sound performances that lasted until dawn\, well before underground raves.\nIn 1963\, after graduating from Berkeley\, he published Music for the Gift for the show written by Ken Dewey\, using two tape recorders to create tracks with a tape delay-feedback system called Time Lag Accumulator\, playing Chet Baker’s version of Miles Davis’ So What in loop. This loop effect triggered his interest in repetition as a means of musical expression\, and in 1964 he completed his most famous work\, In C\, an acknowledged milestone in electronic music.\nIn 1968/69 with A Rainbow in Curved Air he foreshadowed ambient music\, and in 1970\, during his first trip to India to study with vocal master Pandit Pran Nath\, he began research on trance sounds.\nDuring the same period\, he made friends with David Harrington of the Kronos Quartet and was involved in numerous concerts for string quartet and orchestra; their Salome Dances for Peace (1989) earned Riley and Kronos a Grammy nomination.\nIn 2005 he worked with poet Michael McClure in I Like Your Eyes Liberty\, and in 2008 he published two works: Cusp of Magic and Banana Humberto (with the Sri Moonshine label).\nWith his son Gyan he released an album of live concerts (Sri Moonshine) in 2011 and\, later on\, Aleph\, for the Korg Triton 88 synthesizer originally created for the Aleph-Bet Sound Project at the Jewish Museum of San Francisco\, released by Tzadik in 2012.\n2015 saw the founding of the The Rileys duo: Terry & Gyan began a world series of concerts for piano\, synth and guitars. These concerts were a celebration of complex improvised structures containing elements of minimalism\, jazz\, ragtime\, and North Indian raga\, musical combinations that became the Rileys’ hallmark.\n“Nothing I have done in this life has given me more satisfaction than improvising on these songs with Gyan. Nothing I have done can match the intuitive synchronicity we have shared many times on the stage. Gyan supplies a brilliant counterpoint to the strands and moods of these pieces always surprising me with a virtuosity that serves and energizes his musical invention. I could not have dreamed up a better marriage of mind and spirit than this collaboration.”  Terry Riley\nhttp://terryriley.net\nGrowing up in a highly stimulating and experimental environment thanks to his father\, renowned composer Terry Riley\, Gyan chose the guitar as his instrument for life after winning his first one in a lottery at the age of 12. Once he had learned all the songs in his audio cassette collection by ear\, becoming a skilled performer\, he developed a passion for learning techniques and decided to enrol at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.\nIn this context he had the opportunity to study with David Tanenbaum and Dusan Bogdanovic\, with whom he played on tour. Upon graduation in 2002\, Gyan made his debut with the album Food for the Bearded.\nGyan’s varied work focuses on complex compositions\, improvisation\, and both the classical and contemporary repertoire. He has worked with the Kronos Quartet\, New Music USA\, the Carnegie Hall Corporation\, the American Composers Forum\, and the New York Guitar Festival.\nOver the years\, he has travelled Europe\, Canada\, Latin America\, and the United States on numerous tours\, both as a soloist and in various ensembles with talented musicians. He has performed with Zakir Hussain\, Lou Reed\, John Zorn\, the Kronos Quartet\, Iva Bittova\, Bang On A Can All Stars\, the San Francisco Symphony\, the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra\, and with his father\, composer/pianist/singer Terry Riley\, as on the 45th Anniversary of In C at the Carnegie Hall Performances in New York in 2009.\nIn New York\, Gyan performed with the Probosc duo\, the Eviyan trio and the Dither electric guitar quartet. He has composed and released four solo CDs and many ensemble/collaborative recordings with the New York Tzadik Records label.\n“… the improvisational nature of what we do demands that we’re always in that sort of listening mindset… We can’t ever really go out of it! A big part of that is also based on whatever energy we’re getting from the audience\, the space\, the acoustics\, and the overall experience. That can all have a big impact\, and it affects how we respond.” Gyan Riley\nhttp://gyanriley.com\n  URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/terry-riley-gyan-riley/ LOCATION:Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Vico Lungo Pontecorvo 29/d\, Napoli\, 80135\, Italia CATEGORIES:Casa Morra ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Terry_and_Gyan_Riley_invito_pages-to-jpg-0001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20180629T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20180629T213000 DTSTAMP:20260516T040839 CREATED:20201113T160428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210115T174814Z UID:4455-1530298800-1530307800@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:Thomas De Falco - MATERIE DESCRIPTION:June 29th 2018\nSTART from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.\nCasa Morra – Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea\nSalita San Raffaele 20/c\, Napoli \nPerformance and Textile Installation curated by Lucrezia Longobardi. \n“My tree\, I speak to you and I tell you my secret thoughts. All my truth\, all my rustic desires\, you know everything about me and the troubles of the simpler life\, the one closest to you.” \nCit. Paul Valery \nOn the monumental octagonal scale of the Palazzo Cassano Ayerbo D’Aragona\, on 29 June 2018 will take shape\, after a period of residence held in this same place\, the performance and textile installation of the artist Thomas De Falco. A vision played on the dialogue between human and natural forms\, in their original reciprocity\, will decline through a mixed landscape of sculptural bodies and tapestries\, in which the performers become sculptural extension\, protuberance of the support through wrapping used as connectors of the two worlds\, and their turn\, a counter-representation of nature itself\, in a dreamlike and all-encompassing scenario. \nMaterie\, an evocative title of the plurality of the supports of life\, in an active dialogue with the architecture of the place\, tries to anchor itself to the stability of a monument making itself home\, where the stability of the moment is precarious and difficult to find. And the woman\, and her pain\, participate in this narrative as an absolute symbol. The latter is not bound to instability understood with a negative meaning\, but as an act of overcoming despite the dismay of affliction. At this point the parallels with the city emerge naturally and make a poetic and delicate vision of this semantic union. The woman\, which reflects the genre with which the “sex” of nature is recognized\, becomes an emblematic body for this identification between gesture and essence\, like the “femmena” city that hosts this work and inspires its main features. \nA work is inseparable from its historical and political context. \nA contemporary work\, therefore\, is an accent within a wider discourse\, a great symphony of voices and winds that animate it\, of reflections that spirally converge in the concept of Zeitgeist. \nNaples is a port. A threshold on the Mediterranean. On its waters have sailed ancient myths\, the exploits of the Greek heroes\, Ulysses\, but every age has its epics. And they always surpass the contours of reality to assume a hyper-ethical dimension\, epic. Pasolini in 1964\, with his “Prophecy”\, thought of tracing the contours of a contemporary Mediterranean mythology. We have woven that myth of elements from tragic radicality. Fixing the border warp in the plot of the sea. \nIt is from here that\, for exquisitely historical reasons\, the work of Thomas De Falco finds the trigger\, crossing the conceptual limit of a symbol that is a point of separation and union at the same time. The border\, in his work\, shows\, therefore\, all its structural consistency of ligatures\, seams. And in this sense it reverses its sense with respect to the common vision. The border becomes suture\, bone callosity\, welding. \nThe refined design made by the cotton that wraps\, tightens the natural material\, recalls a deeper meaning on the border\, shifts its meaning from the contemporary to the original meaning\, returning to the language its own complexity and thus its intelligence. In this way\, the true freedom of the observer is re-established in comparison with the integrity of the symbol. \nIn a game made of warps and knots\, woven ties and anchored to the support\, natural elements that become epicenter and equilibrium\, an exercise of relationships is consummated which is a completely physical\, all-physical metaphor of the most atrocious of today’s shortcomings. In their constant dialogue\, the materials of Thomas De Falco act together without being able to do one without the other\, in an alchemy of the material that goes far beyond the object and intertwines the roots of their different origins\, their symbolic stratigraphy. \nThe city itself\, for a work that is born site-specific\, becomes matter that\, at contact\, declines its resonance. Of Naples is the female dimension that the artist can not avoid to face. Her pity of exhausted shore\, lapped by a sea in pain\, finds in the feminine attribute the power to inflate an ancestral and regenerating energy that from the port rises and unravels through the alleys\, blood vessels\, nervous system of a human community that he has learned to overcome the lacerations through practice\, evolving until it exists\, in the condition in which the most excruciating pain coincides with the state of normality. Because of this devotion to the natural absolute\, Naples refuses the differences\, its children are all the same. The distinction passes through a system of seams\, balances\, stitches\, which have crossed the flesh not without pain. \nDe Falco then draws\, in space\, an anthropo-rama composed of performers of different ethnic groups\, evoking an idea of ​​a natural human family made indissoluble by visible ties\, interweaving of roots\, contacts\, articulations composed in a maternal embrace\, in a pity that of the feminine has everything and of the city the color. \n1.

Liotta’s appropriation and use of new technologies allow for her piece to extend beyond the limits of the visible sky. Video imagery shot in real time by smartphones installed onto the building’s roof are superimposed with computer generated renditions of the actual planets\, stars\, constellations and other celestial bodies as well as space stations\, “junk”\, and other known objects in Earth’s orbit. \nThe live video feeds on view during the Museo afternoon hours – from early afternoon daylight to evening darkness – facilitate the experience of our movement on Earth\, especially as shown in relation to other planets and star systems: our location in Napoli rotating at approximately 750 mph on a planet orbiting the sun at 67\,000 mph in a solar system circling the galaxy at 483\,000 mph\, etc. \nAlso on view are selections from two related watercolor and ink on paper series and a series of photograms by the artist. \nThe Bruno Studies watercolors are based on the silhouette of the statue of Giordano Bruno that stands in Rome’s Piazza Campo de’ Fiori\, where in 1600 he was burned at the stake for refusing to revoke what were considered heretical views such as insisting that our sun is just one of many and the universe is infinite\, and often incorporate text of his writings in De l’Infinito\, Universo e Mondi (1584). \nThe Nightly Studies – a watercolor\, gansai and sumi ink on paper series – find Liotta making her own chartings of the observable sky at night from various locations around the globe during her research. The artist’s detailed\, multi-layered use of shades of blue along with her minimal and gestural application of black ink on the page draw visual connections between the human and the cosmic scales: splatters of ink form the Milky Way\, a tiny dot of paint a distant galaxy. \nThe series of photograms Articuli made by hand in the artist’s darkroom are inspired by the imagery and texture of the Copernican diagrams (woodcuts) of the Italian philosopher and former Dominican friar Giordano Bruno. Among his ideas were that the sun is a star\, that other stars have similar solar systems to ours\, and that the universe is infinite. Additional info about Bruno’s articuli: 42 iconographic woodcuts accompanied Giordano Bruno’s 1588 printed monograph Articuli centum et sexaginta Adversus Matematicos (One hundred and sixty articles against mathematicians). The diagrams are not strict representations of celestial mechanics but descriptive and imagistic tools for a heliocentric world picture\, which Bruno imagined not as singular but as a multi-dimensional space of infinite possibilities. \nJeanne Liotta makes films\, videos\, including video-projections\, works on paper\, and photographic works with thematics often located at the intersection of art\, science\, natural philosophy\, and ephemerality. Her most known 16mm film of the night skies\, Observando El Cielo\, received numerous awards including the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam International Film Festival\, and was voted among the top films of the decade by The Film Society of Lincoln Center. In 2013 Anthology Film Archives presented The Real World at Last Becomes a Myth\, a complete retrospective of her works in film and video\, and in 2014 she received a commission to work with NOAA climate scientists in Boulder\, CO to create 360-degree media work for Science on a Sphere. Her “one-cut” collages The Tiffany One-Cuts culled from pages of the New York Times were incorporated into installations by artist Nancy Shavers at Derek Eller Gallery (2016) and Padiglione USA/La Biennale di Venezia (2017).\nhttp://www.jeanneliotta.net/ \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Installation view\, Break the sky\, Museo Hermann Nitsch\, Napoli 2018 \nJeanne Liotta \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/jeanne-liotta-break-the-sky/ 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/2020/11/INDEPENDENT-FILM-SHOW-18th-Edition-cartolina-LIOTTA_page-0001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20180621T203000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20180623T203000 DTSTAMP:20260516T040839 CREATED:20181113T165513Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210305T144113Z UID:4464-1529613000-1529785800@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:INDEPENDENT FILM SHOW 18th Edition DESCRIPTION:June 21st\, 2018\nVigna San Martino\nCorso Vittorio Emanuele 340\, Napoli \nJune 22nd and 23rd\, 2018\nBelvedere Museo Nitsch\nVico Lungo Pontecorvo 29/d\, Napoli \nINDEPENDENT-FILM-SHOW-18th-Edition-PROGRAM-2018 \nIndependent Film Show 18th edition\, an international show dedicated to experimental film\, coordinated by Raffaella Morra\, organised by E-M ARTS associazione culturale\, increases the sensorial experiences of its guests who for three days can participate at 16mm films screening (many are Italian premiere)\, at a concert by Bernhard Schreiner\, and the expanded cinema performances by Jeanne Liotta\, Canecapovolto\, Bea Haut\, and Helga Fanderl starting June Thursday 21st at the Vigna San Martino\, Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd 2018 at the Museo Nitsch. \nFrom June 22nd to July 6th Jeanne Liotta’s video-installation In This Immense Space Hidden Things Appear Before Us and works on paper are shown at Museo Nitsch’s roof room (in collaboration with Microscope Gallery New York). \nOn 21st June\, summer solstice offers the chance to perform the first program at the precious Vigna San Martino and grants a selected audience to participate\, only on invitation\, to long projection night and live expanded cinema performances until sunrise. \nJeanne Liotta intersects art\, science and natural philosophy in a comprehensive science project\, following Ralph Waldo Emerson’s theories: projected and modified by the artist\, Affect Theory (2013)\, composed of two films in planetary and satellite position\, and Path of Totality\, realized after the total solar eclipse of August 2017\, transport us within a celestial alignment. \nShaped on a philosophical confraternity model in Catania on 1992\, Canecapovolto experiments with the “cognitive dissonance”\, circuit bending and radio drama\, collages on paper… its identity and its message is found among the grey areas between hearing and vision: the HD video Nembutal (2015) is prelude to NAGNAGNAG performance which uses the circuit bending\, or the modification of musical circuits\, children toys\, etc. and the short-circuit as expressive procedure to suggest chaos! Music and noise suddenly become categories with unstable boundaries. It is a point of no return. Circuit bending is to Music as Found footage is to Cinema. \nFree your perceptions curated by Raffaella Morra\, is a mind journey or a deep study of the film apparatus and their possible representations produced by interaction with the observer\, who participates in an adventure of perception free from preconceptions and classifications. \nThese ten films and videos explore knowledge’s boundaries: Christin Turner’s HD video Vesuvius at Home (2017) reveals a symbiosis between cinema\, memory and the spiral of time\, and Bernhard Schreiner’s Victory to Loss Ratio (2013-14) tries to get images and sounds synchronized in our mind; in Heat Shimmer (1978) Arthur and Corinne Cantrill transform the landscape of central Australia into varying degrees of shimmers; in Sphinx on the Seine (2009) Paul Clipson meditates on a series of brief and enigmatic images from around the world. In My Moon Her World (1995) Vicky Smith combines animation with live action treated – pixellated\, refilmed\, in slow motion\, and in Réminiscences (2001-2020) by Olivier Fouchard the pictures shot at Auvergne during the spring 2001 take on the appearance of dreaming things with unreal colors and the addition of found footage; Anja Dornieden & Juan David González Monroy’s Comfort Stations (2018) is a psychological test found by chance and without known authors; Christopher Becks and Emmanuel Lefrant’s film I don’t think I can see an island (2016) is a symbolically authentic non-Euclidean adventure; Take-Off (2006) is a collaborative project originated from the work-in-progress between Katherine Liberovskaya and the composer Al Margolis who activate a relation between images\, sounds and editing processes; Semiconductor’s Heliocentric (2009) uses time-lapse photography and astronomical tracking to plot the sun’s trajectory through a series of landscapes. It is usually almost impossible to visualize how the earth moves around the sun\, even though we know it is true\, instead we ‘see’ the sun moving around us. \nBea Haut is an artist and film-maker in an expanded form\, multimedia and often reactive to the environment\, her works allude to perception of inter-related moments\, spaces and actions in-between. On Friday\, June 22nd for the program Matters of Being Bea Haut selects eleven films by UK film-makers who try to penetrate the enigmatic film materiality\, evoking an interactive zone between object and subject in which arises an entanglement of aliveness\, existence and event. \nWilliam Raban’s Cripps at Acme (1981) is a documentation of a performance by Steve Cripps\, a wildly misbehaved\, and perhaps genuinely unhinged artist of that time. John Smith’s The Hut (1973) is an experiment with visual rhythms which animates still photographs of a decaying building. Through rhythmic intercutting\, Tanya Syed’s film Chameleon (1990) moves silently towards a point of confrontation with the outside world\, shockingly emphasized by the film’s only sound. Inger-Lise Hansen’s Talking to a Stone (1993) creates a fragile and illusionistic balance between the forces of creation and destruction in time. Bill Leslie’s 9 Objects (2016) is part of a project with a deceptively simple title\, ‘what happens to sculpture when it is filmed and photographed?’ which explores in practice the potential relationships between sculptural objects and different representational media. Two films by Laura Hindmarsh: Self Registration (2015) is the act of self-alignment using hand contact printing and Finding Focus (2016) shot at Lake George in Australia to give solutions to the myths which surround the lake’s sudden fluctuation in volume. In Button Box Blast (2016) Mary Stark films an explosion of a box of buttons in a random pattern of optical lights and sounds. Jenny Baines’s two films\, both double 16mm projection\, document two short performances: Untitled (Insertional) (2014) 2 bolex\, a rope\, two artists and a tree\, and Untitled (# 1 25/25 x 10/4) (2016) run around to a tree repeatedly whilst tied to it. Vicky Smith’s Small Things Moving in Unison (2018) confronts the purely plastic problems that persist in the manually made film\, of registering marks in the same place over a series of frames. \nTo deepen the dynamics of film creation\, in the program Mattering and Uttering Bea Haut reveals her film work by selecting ten b/w films: working with 16mm film in a materialistic and do-it-yourself way allows a responsivity to concurbetween the artist and her materials. This becomes an entanglement of thinking\, being and doing\, activating an agency in both the self and the material. The program starts with Pending (2016)\, a 100ft length of film (30.48-meter) is formed by the audience into a ‘live loop’ before being taken up and played out by the projector\, thus creating an empathy between spectators and artist. \nOn Saturday June 23rd the beautiful sunset from the Belvedere Museo Nitsch is the ideal set for the concert The magnetism of knowing and not knowing by Bernhard Schreiner: a performance in which the sound structures are developed live on the basis of ‘instant composition’ (call it improvisation if you wish)\, using a concert zither\, effect- and loop-pedals\, software (for live-input-processing) and a lot of small parts to interfere with the strings of the zither (mallets\, brushes\, metal springs\, slide\, bow\, etc.). \n“…Once a satisfying self-mixing structure is developed\, it might be left alone for some time (or not)\, possibly allowing myself to step back and listen to the evolving self-mixing transformations. I might get back to further interfere with the setup\, overdub\, etc. or even restart the concert from zero (or not).” (Bernhard Schreiner) \nHelga Fanderl continues to innovate Super 8mm film techniques and since the mid-80s has realized over six hundred films\, each lasting about three minutes\, and edited in-camera. Her films arise from intense observation and honed improvisatory approach that depends on rapid reactions and split-second timing. \nConstellations is a temporary montage of twenty-four films (1992-2016) exemplifying some aspects of Helga Fanderl’s poetic that evoke correspondences and contrasts\, thus experiencing an intense form of microcosm and in the silent flow of the frames we may float in a limbo of mental associations without time and space. \n“…Handling the projector\, changing one or more reels\, focusing and framing the images\, introducing my programs and talking about my filmmaking – all this creates a live event and a unique performance corresponding to the poetics of my filmmaking”.

The event aims to promote a series of listening sessions of significant works of concrete and acousmatic music\, trying to promote even in Italy a practice already widely used in Europe\, that of the so-called “cinema for the ears”. An experience of collective and dedicated listening\, not linked to the performative moment of music\, but aimed at a revaluation of listening as a fundamental moment of the cultural and sensorial formation of the individual. The listening program will include works by composers such as Lionel Marchetti\, Jar Moff\, Rudolf Eb.er\, Jerome Noetinger & SEC_\, Trevor Wishart\, Valerio Tricoli\, DSM\, Heith & Jesse Osborne Lanthier\, Les Enerves\, plus a section organized by the traveling festival of acusmatic listeners Helicotrema\, with whom La Digestion has just inaugurated a collaboration. \nIn the evening\, then\, the concerts of Giovanni Lami and Enrico Malatesta from Emilia and of the Neapolitan guitarist Maurizio Argenziano\, in the beautiful setting of the Riot Studio at Palazzo Marigliano\, place dedicated to contemporary sound and visual languages. \nThe immersive performance “New Surface” by Giovanni Lami and Enrico Malatesta\, made of microsounds with a slow and metamorphic poetics\, will take place in the garden of the Riot from 19.30 to 22.30; during the performance the audience will be free to move between the outdoor and indoor spaces\, organically integrating with the soundscape built by the two musicians. Following\, the disruptive solo of one of the most original and influential Neapolitan guitarists will transform the scene into a metaphysical battlefield\, where the electric curtain will give life to sensitive architecture and remind us that sound\, like electricity\, is something intangible yet extremely concrete.

When we are about to create\, we do not throw away the brush; there is no hope of emancipating colours. Without the paintbrush the colourants will come to life for the first time. Any tool may be used to good effect in place of a paint brush: one’s bare hands or the paint spatula would be a start. To these we might add the objects that members of the Gutai group use\, such as watering cans\, umbrellas\, vibrators\, abaci\, skates\, and toys\, not to mention feet\, guns\, or anything else. And amid all these\, the paintbrush may even reappear\, because there is certainly room for something from the past in innovative work like this.” \nShozo Shimamoto | ‘Gutai’ Bulletin n.6\, Ōsaka\, 1957 \nIn the mid-fifties\, the Japanese artist Shozo Shimamoto [Osaka\, 22nd January 1928 – 25th January 2013]\, began his adventure in the small city of Ashiya\, producing a creative work in public; it was a garden where he and other artists carried out works of art consisting of performances where the work came into being before the eyes of the audience\, with all the interference of a live event. Distancing themselves from the surrealist tradition and the influence of Duchamp\, the Gutai group powerfully established themselves in terms of a new form of creativity centred around impulse. \nAchille Bonito Oliva’s wide-ranging retrospective dedicated to the Japanese artist opens in Palermo at 6 pm on June 13th and runs until 6th August at the Fondazione Sant’Elia. The ‘SHOZO SHIMAMOTO/TIME RACK’ exhibition is a project by the Morra Foundation with the technical\, logistic\, and organisational support of the Shozo Shimamoto Association and the cooperation of the Fondazione Sant’Elia. A colour catalogue containing articles of particular historical and critical significance accompanies the exhibition\, which offers an in-depth study of Shimamoto’s artistic career from his first innovative experiments in the 40s and 50s up to the performances of his last years. During the 1950s\, Shimamoto spent his life in Japan – in the East – but he spent the first part of the twenty-first century mainly in the West\, where he did his most important performances. The dialectic between these two periods points to an extraordinary\, important\, and single artistic process. During the 50s\, Shimamoto began working as a painter\, and\, in his search for a new way of seeing and doing painting\, he also began working on actions that would gradually transform into happenings. His work throughout his last years in Italy took quite the opposite direction: he used large-scale stage construction as an integral part of his performance\, as reflected in the production of works that are the result of a public representative moment. ‘The aim is to expand the aesthetic space of the action as far as possible\, encompassing both earth and sky. (…) Ultimately\, Shimamoto is a nomadic samurai of art able to hit the mark thanks to the intelligent chance of a creative process seeking to pierce the inertia of the world and energise the community of men’\, writes Achille Bonito Oliva. \nThe works on show at the Fondazione Sant’Elia\, from Shimamoto’s early output with the Gutai group to the beautiful explosions of colour of the Campania period\, are of great historical importance. The exhibition also brings his works on paper from the 1950s to the Italian public for the very first time. This retrospective dedicated to the works of Shozo Shimamoto is one of the high points of the many events organised as part of the Palermo Italian Capital of Culture 2018 programme. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 Shozo Shimamoto © photo Amedeo Benestante Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Installation View\, Spazio nel Tempo\, Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Palermo\, 2018 \nShozo Shimamoto \n© photo Amedeo Benestante \nCourtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n\n \n  URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/shozo-shimamoto-time-rack/ LOCATION:Fondazione Sant’Elia\, Via Maqueda\, 81\, Palermo\, Italia CATEGORIES:Associazione Shōzō Shimamoto ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/shozo-shimamoto-palermo.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20180519T210000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20180519T230000 DTSTAMP:20260516T040839 CREATED:20201113T180707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201216T172747Z UID:4472-1526763600-1526770800@www.fondazionemorra.org SUMMARY:LA DIGESTION – musica ascoltata raramente II Edizione DESCRIPTION:May 19th\, 2018\nSTART h. 9:00\nBasilica di San Giovanni Maggiore a Pignatelli\nRampe San Giovanni Maggiore\, Napoli \nh. 7:00 p.m. conversation with Prof. Carmelo Colangelo (Università di Salerno) \nLocation and line up of excellence for the fifth round of “La Digestion – musica ascoltata raramente”\, a festival for the most innovative languages of contemporary sound\, result of the synergy between the Phonurgia and EM-Arts associations and the Morra Foundation. \nThe event of May 19th will see the two masters of the German experimentation in dialog with the magnificent spaces of the Basilica of San Giovanni Maggiore Pignatelli. As in the case of the 3 February event\, the performance will be accompanied by a theoretical moment\, in conversation with the philosopher Carmelo Colangelo\, in an attempt to delve into the meanings that the sound opens\, thanks to its archetypical force that insinuates it in the practices\, in the imaginary\, in the cultures. \nRashad Becker is considered among the most original electronic musicians of the last years\, because he is able to create extremely complex\, but extremely musical sound textures\, which recall deconstructed fanfare and abstract sculptures. In fact\, part of his compositional process consists in translating into music the geometric systems that govern\, for example\, the models of organization of social groups or linguistic models. He is at the same time one of the most respected global sound engineers\, having worked on over 1200 records. Housed in the most prestigious international festivals\, it is for the first time in Naples. \nThomas Köner is a multimedia artist with an unmistakable personality. His music is a cross between ambient and drone\, created from incredible recordings made by the artist in some of the most remote places on the planet\, such as the Arctic Polar Circle or the Amazon Rainforest. The intensity of his music projects the audience into an abysmal\, almost static dimension\, pushing the listening to its most peripheral and primitive regions.\nThe dry and severe poetics of Becker and the lacerated and immersive environments of Koner seem to be suspended at the two opposite vertices of sonic art\, but they find common ground in the power and immersiveness of live performance and echo resonant in the listeners’ experience.\nThe event is realized thanks to the support of the Goethe Institut of Naples\, under the patronage of the City of Naples and the kind concession of the Basilica by Fondazione Ordine degli Ingegneri di Napoli. \nRashad Becker\, is one of the finest thinkers of living sound. \n“Rashad Becker’s work is probably the closest thing we currently have to an overwhelming glance through a break in the fabric of reality” – Brainwashed magazine. \nHis compositions are multi-layered narrations populated by a set of sound entities\, some pleased\, some shy\, some agitators\, others ready to surrender. Often there is a tragic-comic touch\, like a cartoon version of what might be a requiem from a dream (or even a dance of fertility from another dimension).\nThe most recent works include the Traditional Music Of Notional Species cycle\, published in two volumes on PAN and a work in several parts entitled Based On A True Story that draws scores from historical events in a sort of “sound staging”. In this context\, it is currently commissioned by the New York ensemble Alarm Will Sound and the string ensemble Berlin Kaleidoskop.\nRashad is mainly active as a solo artist\, but he is in a series of permanent collaborations alongside Eli Keszler\, Moritz von Oswald and as a member of the Moleglove formation. Other and more sporadic collaborators were Okkyung Lee\, Andre Vida\, Ashley Paul and Valerio Tricoli. \nhttps://soundcloud.com/pan_hq/rashad-becker-dances-vii \nThomas Köner (Bochum\, 1965) is a German musician and artist. \nDuring his studies\, he devoted himself to the intensive research of sound in the recording studio. His first impulse was to avoid the rhythm and the melody and concentrate instead on the phenomenon of the color of the sound. To intensify the sound experience\, he decided to work with other media\, in the beginning collaborating with the film artist Jürgen Reble (Alchemie 1992). Later\, he began composing soundtracks and accompanying old silent films with live electronic music for the Louvre Museum in Paris. Köner’s interest in combining visual and sound experiences to extend the effectiveness of his sound works allowed him to arrive at the installation and led him to collaborate with Max Eastley\, in which the combination of sound sculpture and performance became central. “List Of Japanese Winds” by Max Eastley and Thomas Köner is an installation commissioned by the Hayward Gallery in London. The Center Georges Pompidou commissioned the sound work for an installation by the filmmaker Yann Beauvais.\nAnother field of sound exploration and radical sound design is Köner represented by the club culture\, which Köner considers an ideal platform for intensive and physical listening. His project Porter Ricks\, along with Andy Mellwig\, is acclaimed in the techno world\, with commissions for “Nine Inch Nails” and even a remix of Claude Debussy for Universal Music. \nCarmelo Colangelo works at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Salerno. He was a scholar and assistant at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Geneva. Starobinski has translated the volume Action and reaction. Life and adventures of a couple (Einaudi 2001). He is the author of numerous essays\, including Limite and melancholy. Kant\, Heidegger\, Blanchot (Loffredo 1998)\, as well as articles about Kafka\, Merleau-Ponty\, Canetti\, Bataille\, Levinas\, Maldiney. His latest work The appeal of appearances is dedicated to Jean Starobinski.

At the opening of the exhibition\, which is part of ‘Vietato Vietare 1968/2018’ Proiezioni\, incontri\, mostre a cinquant’anni dal 1968 (‘Forbidden to Forbid 1968/2018’ Screenings\, encounters\, and exhibitions fifty years on from 1968)\, there will also be an opportunity to see the documentary ‘Antologia Fluxus’ (by various artists\, 120 min). \nMario Franco\, curator of the review and founder of the Archives\, asks\, \n‘Why a review and an exhibition on the Fluxus collective among the commemorations recalling the events of fifty years ago?’ Because the ‘imagination in power’ of 1968 also meant the meeting and mixing of arts\, techniques\, disciplines\, languages\, and materials\, as well as their liberation from the requirement to produce meaning and to stop narrating the world in a descriptive\, linear\, and complete manner\, starting from a reflection on language\, on ways of narrating\, as the world itself has changed so quickly and profoundly: the metropolises have become a remarkable ‘training grounds’ for a mobile and multiple outlook. An idea of multimediality began to find its way into an awareness of the inadequacy of just one medium\, a single art\, a specific and sectorial technique to represent this plurality of stimuli\, this dense network of interconnections. The Gesamtweldbild (total image of the world) takes up and extends the Wagnerian concept of Gesamtkunstwerk. Fluxus assembles different techniques and materials: collages\, poetic texts\, architecture-sculptures-environments to unbind cultural habits and perceptual automatisms\, to tease out unexplored possibilities from different languages\, attempting to assemble them in a new way\, creating combinations as rich and complex as thought (or the world). An anthology of the movement’s films includes the body-artistic previews of Yves Klein\, moving on to show the origins of the video-art of Nam June Paik with Allen Ginsberg\, Charlotte Moorman\, Alan Schulman\, and the Living Theatre. This is followed by a short concert of music by John Cage on the Holocaust\, the experimental film ‘T.O.U.C.H.I.N.G.’ by Christopher Sharits\, two performances by Joseph Beuys\, George Maciunas (who founded Fluxus\, giving it its name in 1961)\, the Viennese actionism of Günther Brus\, plus John Lennon & Yoko Ono\, and Vito Acconci. \nThe screenings are accompanied by Loredana Troise’s exhibition of graphic works by key artists of the Fluxus movement. \nIn the words of curator Loredana Troise: \n14 extraordinary graphic works making up the Portflux portfolio (Factotum Art edition) and closely connected with the “Forbidden to Forbid 68/18” project are showing at the Mario Franco Archives. An adventurous and unpublished diary of the eye with indefinite boundaries pointing to the restless threshold of the present\, between incarnations and transits\, imagination\, and the re-functionalisation of forms. Sarenco\, Diego Strazzer and Giuseppe Morra came up with the idea for the Portflux collection in the 1980s. It is the result of an intense and unique experience born from intersections\, travels\, and relationships between researchers and fluxeur artists in the eighties: ‘each work in the portfolio’\, explains Giuseppe Morra\, ‘is a chapter born out of a long history of collaboration\, friendship\, and directly shared events: nothing to do with the logic of “making art”\, but freely directed towards emancipated and independent semiotic revisions’. Giving order to a complex and varied visual and emotional itinerary\, rich in sequences and layers of interpretation\, the works\, which are often marked by traces of the tangible (such as Ben Vautier’s key\, Philip Corner’s piano keys\, or Bob Watts’ stamps) show the splendour of a syntactic self-sufficiency perceivable as an uninterrupted and fleeting polyphony that can never be fully documented. Beyond the inclinations of each of the 14 artists represented in the exhibition\, the open structures of Portfluxus experience passages and flexions that preclude any opening towards fabulation or illusionism. Rather\, they reveal the process of happening; the unfolding of the event as a flow and the image – not understood as a ‘fact’ constituted and brought to its conclusion – but as a process in the making\, capable of infiltrating stratified temporalities where we can rediscover the directions in which culture is moving today. We therefore thought of setting up an ‘installation’ similar to a frontier without distracting media and superstructures: one that can be crossed by moving beyond traditional criteria\, with the same spirit of randomness that characterised the movement. In this way\, the Mario Franco Archives\, as well as being a place of study\, documentary analysis\, and research\, prove to be an extraordinary gateway through which we can perceive the changing and metamorphic appearances of time-space.

Presentazione del libro Cenere DESCRIPTION:11 maggio 2018\nINIZIO ORE 19:00\nCasa Morra- Sala Shimamoto\nSalita San Raffaele 20/c\, Napoli \nA Palazzo Cassano Ayerbo D’Aragona\, sede di Casa Morra -Archivio d’arte contemporanea\, è stato presentato venerdì 11 maggio 2018 alle ore 19:00 Cenere\, il primo libro della giovane scrittrice napoletana Serena Russo.\nIl piccolo volume intitolato Cenere\, edito nel 2017 dalla Casa Editrice Aletheia\, è una raccolta intima di racconti brevi all’interno dei quali la narrazione\, si intreccia non solo nella quotidianità vissuta dall’autrice\, ma anche in una concatenazione di pensieri\, ricordi\, sogni\, desideri e invenzioni. Per Serena Russo: “Questa non è una semplice raccolta di racconti. Piuttosto una scatola di frammenti di ogni tipo\, che sarà difficile richiudere una volta aperta”. In occasione della presentazione\, moderata da Loredana Troise che dialoga con Serena Russo\, la serata prosegue con un reading tratto da alcuni brani del libro letti da Simona Cocchia e Angelo Trifari e da un intermezzo musicale di Julia Primicile Carafa (clarinetto\, chitarra e voce) e Belardino Cerabona (violino). \nSerena Russo (Napoli\, 1984) laureata in lingue e letterature comparate presso l’Orientale di Napoli\, ha inoltre conseguito un dottorato in cinema e letteratura presso l’Università di Granada\, in Andalusia. Attualmente lavora a Valencia\, in Spagna\, come insegnante di inglese e di italiano per stranieri. Scrive recensioni di film e libri per vari siti web. Cenere è la sua prima raccolta di racconti.

The public will be able to appreciate the different phases of work and\, in particular: \nfrom 17 to 24 April 2018\, from Tuesday to Friday from 12 a.m. to 7 p.m.\nPerforming workshop School of drawing and painting in the absence of talent\nwith the students of the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples \nfrom 25 April to 19 May 2018\, from Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.\nFinal exhibition of the School of drawing and painting in the absence of talent \nCasa Morra is thus transformed into a theater of operations similar to a factory: a multifocal situation is put in place\, in which the different tasks occur simultaneously in distinct points of the space\, underlining the natural performative vocation of the staircase itself. \nOn the School of drawing and painting in the absence of talent\nIn addition to the laboratory and performative elements\, Cesare Pietroiusti addresses the theme of the retrospective in a lateral way\, reflecting on how it might be possible to operate on the history of one’s artistic career without having to exhume one’s works of the past in a conventional or fetishistic way. While facing the taboo of remaking a work of another time\, the artist proposes a new interpretation of the concept of contemporaneity that\, in a dialectical re-examination with the past\, becomes the simultaneous and convergent presence of different times and meanings. The author’s hand tends to disappear\, in an operation where one contemplates the non-necessity\, for an artist\, to possess a talent that can be expressed with a manual and technical skill. On the other hand\, this project reflects the same lack of talent of Pietroiusti himself\, which\, in his time\, led him to use a slavish way of copying slide projections onto canvas and paper. \nWith the participation of: Eleonora Alabiso\, Cristiana Amato\, Gianmarco Biele\, Elsa Bigliardo\, Laura Bonito\, Antonella Calabrese\, Elena Chirico\, Enrica Rosi Crispo\, Maria Teresa De Cristofaro\, Luisa De Donato\, Giovanni Ferrara\, Sara Fiorentino\, Valeria Gentile\, Francesca Iovane\, Natalya Savino Kochetova\, Valentina Manzo\, Emanuela Palmieri\, Roberta Passaro\, Chiara Perna\, Alessandro Piromallo\, Chatrin Ponticelli\, Gianmarco Trotta\, Maria Ulino\, Aurora Vivenzio\, Huang Yuan\, Haoran Zhou.\nCesare Pietroiusti Born in Rome in 1955\, he began his artistic research in 1977\, when he started working in Sergio Lombardo’s Jartrakor Study Center\, actively participating in the definition of an ‘eventualist’ art. In the second half of the eighties\, together with Salvatore Falci\, Stefano Fontana\, Pino Modica and Domenico Nardone\, he gave life to the experience of the Gruppo di Piombino which saw\, about a decade before the birth of ‘relational’ art\, the involvement\, through an aesthetic stirring\, of an unconscious public. Since then he has founded and coordinated research centers and residency programs\, conferences and experimental laboratories. He has exhibited in private and public spaces\, either official or unofficial\, in Italy and abroad. In 1997 he published\, with the Edizioni Morra\, Non-functional Thoughts\, a collection of about one hundred apparently absurd ideas\, formulated as precise instructions for the realization of artistic projects. In the first decade of the 21st century his work focused on the theme of exchange and on the paradoxes that may lie within the western social system\, underlining in particular the peculiarity of the money-commodity economic relationship. Since 2004 he has distributed tens of thousands of autographed drawings for free\, sold stories\, ingested banknotes at the end of public auctions and then returned them to the rightful owner after their excretion\, organized gastronomic evenings where at the end of lunch the public was paid\, set up exhibitions where the works were sold in exchange for ideas and not for money. Among others\, he exhibited his works at: Art in General\, New York (2001); Ikon Gallery\, Birmingham (2007); Athens Biennial (2009); MAXXI\, Rome (2010); Moscow Museum of Modern Art (2011)\, Hayward Gallery\, London (2012)\, Sandretto Foundation\, Turin (2014)\, Bozar\, Brussels (2014)\, Maga\, Gallarate Museum (2016)\, Kunstverein Arnsberg (2016)\, and was co-curator of the exhibition “Sensibile Comune. The living works”\, GNAM\, Rome (2017). From 2004 to 2015 he was a Visual Arts visiting professor at the IUAV in Venice and\, from 2009 to 2016\, MFA Faculty at Lesley University\, Boston. Two years ago\, as a member of the collective “Lu Cafausu”\, he gave life to the Lac or Le Mon Foundation (San Cesario di Lecce).\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Scuola del disegno e della pittura in assenza di talento\, Casa Morra\, 2018 \n \n \n \n \n \n Scuola del disegno e della pittura in assenza di talento\, Casa Morra\, 2018 Cesare Pietroiusti © photo Jacopo Seri Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Scuola del disegno e della pittura in assenza di talento\, Casa Morra\, 2018 Cesare Pietroiusti © photo Jacopo Seri Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Scuola del disegno e della pittura in assenza di talento\, Casa Morra\, 2018 Cesare Pietroiusti © photo Jacopo Seri Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Scuola del disegno e della pittura in assenza di talento\, Casa Morra\, 2018 Cesare Pietroiusti © photo Jacopo Seri Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n \n \n \n Scuola del disegno e della pittura in assenza di talento\, Casa Morra\, 2018 Cesare Pietroiusti © photo Jacopo Seri Courtesy Fondazione Morra\n \n \n\n  URL:https://www.fondazionemorra.org/en/evento/cesare-pietroiusti-scuola-del-disegno-e-della-pittura-in-assenza-di-talento/ LOCATION:Casa Morra – Archivio d’Arte Contemporanea\,  Salita S.
