Inaugurazione della 31° Biennale di Arte Grafica di Lubiana


OVER YOU/YOU è il titolo della trentunesima Biennale di Arti Grafiche a cura di Nicola Lees. Il titolo è tratto da una breve nota posta nell’angolo di un disegno di Martin Kippenberger. Sembra un’irrisolta equazione o supposizione che sta ad indicare l’instabilità dell’immagine che può esser riprodotta. La Biennale esplora il modo in cui le tecniche di riproduzione sono usate dagli artisti visivi per le strategie di comunicazione e circolazione. Allo stesso tempo essa esamina il potenziale di ciò che può essere infinitamente copiato, focalizzandosi sugli innumerevoli possibili modi di concepire il concetto di riproduzione. La Biennale si concentra sull’artista che si oppone alla completezza e all’unicità dell’opera d’arte con “anti-singolarità”. Questo risultato è ottenuto dalle pratiche contemporanee che fanno riferimento alla storia della dispersione estrema. L’immagine in movimento è un concetto fondamentale per la nostra contemporanea economia dell’informazione. Ponendo l’immagine in movimento come si scontra con la struttura fissa della superficie stampata, si stabilisce un delicato equilibrio di forze tra le opere d’arte. Questa instabilità si riflette nel concetto della mostra che cerca di resistere alla linearità e alla conclusione, riflettendo invece il processo creativo degli artisti partecipanti tramite l’enfatizzazione del non-logico e dell’associativo.
Enej Gala, giovane artista sloveno che ha terminato da poco gli studi presso l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, è stato selezionato dalla curatrice inglese Nicola Lees alla Biennale Internazionale di Grafica di Lubiana. Nicola Lees, oltre a curare la sezione dedicata ai progetti speciali di Freeze a Londra è stata per anni una collaboratrice della Serpentine Gallery di Londra.
Ricordiamo che Enej Gala è in mostra nella galleria A plus A di Venezia con un progetto ideato e pensato esclusivamente per lo spazio dal titolo The Stable a cura di Aurora Fonda e Sandro Pignotti.

Anna Foglietta: Actress and Activist with Old School Elegance

One look at actress Anna Foglietta in her any of her roles, and the Golden Age of Italian cinema comes to mind. Among Italy’s most sought-after actresses today, Foglietta brings to the table a classic eloquence of yesterday while representing Italy’s modern woman. Born in Rome in 1979, Foglietta began her career in 2005 with a role in the RAI television series La squadra . Her character Agent Anna De Luca had a two-year run on the series as she was transitioning to cinema with Paolo Virzì’s 2006 ensemble project 4-4-2- Il gioco più bello del mondo . Since then, she has become one of Italy’s most diverse actresses, transforming herself into interesting, layered characters for comedies and dramas alike. Aside from a small part in Anton Corbijn’s 2010 film The American starring George Clooney, Foglietta’s work began reaching mainstream American audiences in 2015. As Elisa in Edoardo Leo’s 2015 comedy Noi e la Giulia , Foglietta showed her funny side playing a goofball pregn

The Life and Work of Monica Bellucci

Monica Bellucci as Malèna Born in Umbria in 1964, Monica Bellucci is one of the most recognizable faces of international cinema. But she didn't always have her sights set on the spotlight. She went to college to study law and modeled to pay her tuition. Her success in the fashion world coupled with the offers that were pouring in to appear on the big screen eventually took over, changing her fate. Bellucci made her on-screen debut in the 1990 television movie, " Vita coi figli." Just two years later, she scored her first American role in Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula."   In addition to her native language, she speaks fluent English and French, which has made for a smooth transition from Italian to international cinema. Stateside, she has acted in blockbusters such as "The Matrix-Reloaded,"     " The Passion of the Christ" and " The Sorcerer's Apprentice." She has also appeared in several French films, a

Marco Giallini's latest film headed to America

He's an intense, articulate actor with dozens of diverse roles to his credit, and his latest film, Perfetti Sconosciuti (Perfect Strangers) is set to make its North American premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. Roman-born actor, Marco Giallini shines in the roles he takes on, whether he is the oddball in a comedy, the sexy mystery man in a drama or the bad guy you’d love to hate in a thriller.   In each case, Giallini reels us into his character’s fascinating world with his impressive range of performing. Born in Rome in 1963, Giallini grew up with a number of interests including music, motorcycles and soccer. Before he discovered his call to act, he explored his passion for music, starting his own band in the early 80’s called, I Monitors. Then in 1985, destiny knocked at his door, and Giallini enrolled in acting school. He studied theater and for nearly a decade, participated in local productions in Rome’s many venues. It was in 1995 that he made his debut in cinema wit

Michelangelo Frammartino's "Il buco" — Unearthing our past

When a team of speleologists descended 700 meters into the Bifurto Abyss in Cosenza, Calabria, in 1961, they discovered that the underground caverns were the third deepest in the world and the deepest in Europe. Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Frammartino retraces that mission six decades later with a cast of locals and their livestock in his latest documentary, “Il buco” (“The Hole”). Inspiration for the film came while he was on location shooting his 2007 documentary, “Le quattro volte” (“Four Times”). Officials in the Pollino mountains, which stretch between Calabria and Basilicata, showed him what appeared to be just another sinkhole. Frammartino failed to understand their enthusiasm until they tossed a large stone into the void. It disappeared without making a sound. He was so overcome by the experience and the eerie landscape, he was haunted for years, compelling him to make his current film, one of many rooted in nature. “I was born in Milan, but my family is from Calabria. My pa

Pasolini's Playground of Roman Ruins

Anna Magnani in a scene from "Mamma Roma" Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1962 “Mamma Roma” starring Anna Magnani , follows the title character, a Roman prostitute determined to change her life and give her son the opportunities she never had. She seizes the opportunity to leave her life on the streets behind when her pimp (Franco Citti) gets married and frees her from his possession. Mamma then goes to the small provincial town of Guidonia to fetch her son, Ettore (Ettore Garofolo), and bring him to Rome to embark on their new life together. She buys a pushcart, finds an apartment in a nice neighborhood, and uses her connections to secure him a job in a restaurant. However, Ettore gets mixed up with boys who are petty thieves and is negatively influenced by them. At the same time, Mamma Roma’s pimp resurfaces and sends her back to the streets. When Ettore learns about his mother’s prostitution, he goes astray and wholeheartedly joins in on the petty crimes of the boys. One day, while
