Adrian Piper al PAC di Milano

15 mai 2024 à 16:55

Che il Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea di Milano sia da alcuni anni una delle istituzioni pubbliche italiane più ricettive alle ricerche di artisti attenti ai contesti sociali, nonché alla performance è abbastanza noto tra gli addetti ai lavori: a definire tale identità ha contribuito in maniera cospicua la direzione artistica di Diego Sileo che, con competenza, curiosità e senza disdegnare la provocazione, dedica parte della programmazione a tale medium, attraverso mostre tanto di italiani quanto di figure internazionali, riannodando tragitti che segnano la storia dell’istituzione milanese. Quello che forse è meno evidente a chi non frequenta sistematicamente il PAC è che l’edificio stesso sembra favorire andamenti laterali rispetto alla tradizione delle arti visive, “naturalmente” aperto a esplorazioni che eludono “l’armadio chiuso” del modernismo: la grande vetrata affacciata sui giardini di Villa Reale è membrana osmotica con l’area verde retrostante, la sua continua mutevolezza cromatica e luminosa, la sua piacevole ma invadente presenza. E ugualmente il ballatoio che corre parallelo al vano centrale del piano terra si trasforma agevolmente nel balcone da cui assistere a quanto si svolge in basso. Un ideale loggione, tropo di una dimensione teatrale celata appena sotto la pelle dello spazio museale.

Dal 19 marzo e fino al 9 giugno, il PAC ospita la prima retrospettiva italiana di Adrian Piper (New York 1948), figura di spicco dell’arte post-concettuale statunitense, particolarmente rappresentativa per il costante impegno su aspetti e questioni legate al razzismo, ma con rare apparizioni italiane, tra cui il tempestivo Parlando a me stessa. L’autobiografia progressiva di un oggetto d’arte, edito in italiano da Marilena Bonomo nel 1975, con la presumibile mediazione di Sol Lewitt; il prestigioso Leone d’oro alla Biennale di Venezia del 2015, quella diretta da Owki Enwezor; la traduzione di Meta-art (1973) per Castelvecchi nel 2017 a cui aggiungere qualche inclusione di lavori in rassegne collettive. Sebbene la dimensione performativa a cui si è accennato in apertura, questa volta sia affidata solo alla documentazione fotografica e audiovisiva con cui si da conto di numerosi interventi di Piper, in particolare della splendida Funk Lessons (1983-85) tramite il film di Sam Samore, lo stile del curatore è ben riconoscibile. Infatti, tranne pochi lavori giovanili, tutto guarda al mondo, oltre i convenzionali problemi del visuale.

Il visitatore è accolto da un brusio di voci che provengono da installazioni sonore e video che punteggiano il percorso espositivo: una dimensione corale messa in evidenza sin dalle prime opere, con Negative Self-Portrait (1966), lavoro figurativo su carta, firmato “Adrienne”, subito prima quindi dell’adozione del più neutro – ma con sfumature maschili – Adrian. L’artista si presenta quindi con una identità multipla e sfaccettata: sebbene ricorra sovente alla propria immagine disegnata, fotografata, ripresa in video, i suoi connotati restano volutamente sfocati tanto rispetto all’appartenenza a un gruppo etnico definito – come avverte la definizione che campeggia su materiali promozionali dell’esposizione, Race Traitor – quanto dal punto di vista del genere. Se questo secondo aspetto è mobilitato solo indirettamente in The Mythic Being (1973-1980), Race Traitor è il titolo di un lavoro del 2018  in cui l’artista rielabora la riflessione sulla propria identità formulata quarant’anni prima, con i Political Self-Portraits (1978-1980), giocati sull’associazione tra la riproduzione della fotografia del passaporto – per antonomasia lo strumento di identificazione burocratica del cittadino – e una serie di eventi biografici in cui Piper ha preso coscienza del gruppo razziale a cui apparteneva o al quale gli altri ritenevano appartenesse. Il titolo della mostra, quindi, allude anche all’esperienza del passing, tematizzata dall’artista in questi e altri interventi, rievocandone le ambiguità sulla scorta sia della tradizione letteraria, sia delle pressioni sociali.

Attraverso approcci spiazzanti, Piper lavora per erodere le linee delle costruzioni sociali che dividono le persone in gruppi razziali: dalla riproposizione dei cliché al loro ribaltamento, fino all’esplorazione di situazioni in cui i presenti – visitatori inclusi – sono disorientati. In tal senso si muove la celebre installazione Cornered (1988) in cui il pubblico del museo diventa anche il destinatario del monologo della professoressa Adrian Piper[1], trasmesso da un televisore installato tra due certificati di nascita in cui un medesimo individuo viene definito “octoroon” nel 1953 e “white” nel 1965.

Nel video, infatti, Piper spiega – rivolgendosi direttamente al visitatore in sala – proprio l’impossibilità teorica di definirsi bianco o nero nella società statunitense, dove i contatti tra i due gruppi sono antichi e ramificati. La sensazione di essere parte in causa, parte del problema, di essere tra gli interlocutori dell’artista non ci abbandona mai: dal reiterato impiego del pronome “you” nei titoli, fino all’adozione dell’indagine sociologica che nella serie Close to Home (1987) fa emergere – potenzialmente nelle biografie di ciascuno – omissioni circa il proprio inconfessato razzismo; dalle luci che alternativamente si accendono e si spengono in Black Box /White Box (1992) trasformando l’osservatore in osservato al ricorso agli specchi in Das Ding-an-sich bin ich (2018).

Pur rinunciando alla narrazione lineare con l’intento di calare il pubblico nel bel mezzo delle prove di un coro, in cui le voci si alternano e si sovrappongono, la mostra dipana una conversazione che copre una carriera lunga quasi sei decadi, puntellata da prestigiosi riconoscimenti, come si deduce dalle collezioni da cui provengono i pezzi in mostra, coerente nel nucleo semantico ma diversificata per medium e stili, dai lavori d’esordio debitori dell’arte concettuale, fino alle recenti animazioni digitali, passando per installazioni, video e variazioni attorno all’impiego della fotografia e della scrittura.

Tra le opere stilisticamente più sorprendenti i Vanilla Nightmares (1986-1989, fig. 6) disegni a carboncino eseguiti sulle pagine del New York Times. Resi celebri dalle riflessioni di Hal Foster in Il ritorno del reale, le opere insistono sulle paure che alimentano il razzismo: con fisionomie esagerate e corpi vistosamente erotizzati, l’artista tratteggia donne e uomini bianchi e neri che visivamente interagiscono con le figure riprodotte nelle pubblicità o fotografate per la cronaca, e in generale entrano in risonanza con le notizie relative al Sudafrica pubblicate dal quotidiano. Ma dal vero si apprezza quanto il tratto, volutamente caricaturale e semplificato, non si sottragga alle atmosfere neoespressioniste di quegli anni, mettendo ancora una volta in comunicazione personale e collettivo, pubblico e privato, e con un approccio intersezionale ante litteram.

[1] Oltre che artista visiva, Piper ha insegnato filosofia teoretica in numerosi atenei statunitensi; dal 2005 vive a Berlino.

Nobilis Golden Moon

13 avril 2024 à 18:35

Il 22 marzo negli spazi dell’Auditorium del Museo MAXXI di Roma, in una sala gremita di gente, Acqua Foundation ha presentato per la prima volta a Roma Nobilis Golden Moon, film di Maria Grazia Pontorno, artista che da tempo indaga il confine tra naturale e artificiale, inizialmente attenta alla sperimentazione digitale in 3D, da qualche tempo allargando il suo sguardo verso la ricerca al confine tra arte e scienza.

Nobilis Golden Moon è stato girato a cavallo tra due pandemie, due lune piene e due città: Valencia e Sant’Antioco. Il corto è stato presentato per Maritima01 e promosso dall’Associazione Culturale Art Made di Elena Posokhova con sede a Valencia, sviluppato in collaborazione con istituzioni come la University of Valencia, the French Institute, the EASD, the Nau or Carmen Center of Comteporanry Culture e con la partnership della Acqua Foundation.

La Pinna Nobilis è il più grande mollusco bivalve del Mediterraneo. La Pinna Nobilis, nota anche come “Sentinella del Mediterraneo” supera il metro di altezza, a rischio di scomparsa per una malattia pandemica. Da questo mollusco è ricavato il bisso, una fibra tessile utilizzata anche nell’antichità per tessere tessuti pregiati.

La prima tappa di Maria Grazia Pontorno, a Valencia, è scandita dal primo plenilunio. Qui un gruppo di scienziati cerca soluzioni per combattere l’ estinzione della Pinna Nobilis con il progetto LIFE PINNARCA che porta assieme ricercatori da tutta Europa. Jose Tena e Jose Rafael Garcia March, parte del progetto, raccontano come, attraverso lo studio di alcuni esemplari tenuti in cattività nelle vasche dei loro laboratori, cerchino di riprodurli in un ambiente protetto, oltre ad indagare quali fattori nelle componenti marine siano causa della loro estinzione.

La seconda tappa, del viaggio, in concomitanza con il secondo plenilunio, è a Sant’Antioco in Sardegna dove vive Chiara Vigo, l’ ultima sacerdotessa del bisso, che questo mollusco lo conosce meglio di chiunque altro al mondo. È qui e con lei che si conserva il segreto della sua lavorazione, raccogliendo il testimone dalla nonna. L’estrazione e la lavorazione di questo filo sacro porta assieme abilità artigiane e pratiche esoteriche. Entrare in questa lavorazione significa intraprendere un vero e proprio viaggio tra scienza e magia.

La sacerdotessa chiarisce l’importanza della presenza di questo mollusco, depuratore delle acque da impurità inquinanti chiarendo il suo interesse scientifico. La ghiandola sebacea che attraversa il mantello della Pinna Nobilis, spiega la sacerdotessa a Mariagrazia Pontorno, espelle una bava che a contatto con l’acqua marina si solidifica per diventare seta purissima. «Il bisso è l’anima dell’acqua e l’uomo senza acqua non può sopravvivere», dice Chiara Vigo nei toni di una profezia. Il racconto si dispiega attento a non liberare nessuna traccia del segreto che lega la lavorazione del bisso ad una tradizione orale tramandata in un passaggio che avviene in un rituale elettivo esclusivo. «La trasmissione orale è fatta di anima che si coltiva in una vita intera. È un’anima che cresce con piccole cose grandi gesti, situazioni che gli altri non devono capire, segreto fra nonna e nipote».

Con questo dialogo dove scienza ed esoterismo convergono nella magia della tradizione e del paesaggio sardi, il film arriva al suo ultimo capitolo. Il viaggio non finisce. Prosegue tra tutto ciò che il film portato alla nostra conoscenza: la Pinna Nobilis, l’importanza del suo ruolo nell’ecosistema, la sua trasformazione nella vita inanimata degli oggetti, come i tessuti ricamati con il sacro bisso. Il film è l’incontro tra uomo e natura, tra arti e scienza, il tutto sigillato da un rituale intriso di conoscenza, esperienza e magia.

Mariagrazia Pontorno, Nobilis Golden Moon, (Volume I della Trilogia del Pensiero Magico), 2020
Il film è stato prodotto da Acqua Foundation e Maritima01

AVAF edition 5
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Theme: (Re) Cover Story

Daily front pages across platforms circulate crisis, desperation, and disasters, fueling division and despair. Our focus fragmented, analysis paralyzed, we struggle to discern urgent news from narratives designed to mask them. War, post-pandemic economic doom, scarcity, conflicts, inflation, deficit, unregulated AI, climate apocalypse, displacement and new wars broadcast a hopeless reading of our times.

Within these turbulent currents, can art recover our stories and be a healing device to envision possibilities, will, and connectedness? What potential does video art hold to reframe these realities? Addis Video Art Festival seeks works that examine these current conditions and related topics with open artistic input.

Selected works will be provided a screening fee and may be included in other opportunities within the network in the future .

Affective Territories Alternate Belonging

We are seeking video works that challenge traditional notions of belonging beyond colonial borders.

The Anthropocene Project

While Anthropocene (actually only proposed as a new epoch of geologic time, following the Holocene) is an officially not yet definitely defined period of time during which human activities are thought to have had a significant impact on the global environment, regarded as having begun sometime between twelve thousand years ago, with the spread of agriculture, and two hundred years ago, with the advent of industrialization, as a topic of the media art context of The Anthropocene Project, the term is going far beyond marking the contradictory relationship between (the volatile transitory character of) human nature and (sustainable) nature, the significant human impact on ecosystems, including the human-caused climate change, biodiversity loss etc.

Curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne, The New Museum of Networked Art realizing the Anthropocene Project as a new media art context in an exchange between virtual and physical space, physical and virtual exhibitions and screenings, is inviting artists using moving images/digital video as medium of art to submit videos dealing with the (positive and negative) human impact.

Open Call- “Wash my fur, but don’t make me wet”
Climate protection with displacement. Wash my fur, but don’t get me wet.

64th exhibition of GG3 3.5.2024 – 14.6.2024 Berlin
The majority of society wants climate protection, but does not want to change. It becomes nervous, susceptible to fossil lobby campaigns, superstitions and right-wing influences.
People are in favor of doing something about man-made global warming, but they still want to fly on vacation. One denies one’s own fossil addiction. The other countries, the politicians, should take action against the climate crisis. People don’t want to see their own responsibility as voters for political parties and as consumers of flights, cars and goods who cause CO2‚ emissions. Of course, something should change, just not in your own life. Science calls this behavior cognitive dissonance.
The artworks in the gallery and front garden are intended to refer to the generic term “displacement of man-made global warming, outside to the displacement of specific problems of the locations:
1. park path at the Waldemar bridge: Cyclists and scooter riders displace the driving ban in the park
2. park path south of the lake: the greenery on the walls is being damaged for graffiti. The sprayers suppress the importance of the climbing greenery for people.
3rd, 4th sidewalks near the stairs into the park: Litter is dumped or thrown down. The actors suppress the fact that the litter usually disturbs pedestrians and residents.
5th lake: The lake is over-fertilized due to the prohibited feeding of aquatic animals. The feeders suppress the adverse effects on animals, water quality and the plants of the lake.
Plan of the exhibition
6. and 7. works to suppress man-made global warming.
Exhibition in the gallery and front garden: Tuesdays and Fridays 5-8 p.m., on the sidewalk, in the park and on the lake two days each 4-6 p.m.

The Festival promotes a free and stimulating project of sharing, that shows what usually is neglected or rejected because of the distance from the conventional way to do and to interpret the cinema.

(S)HE DEVIL 13 a Roma

Par : Arshake
19 mars 2024 à 18:51

(S)HE DEVIL, la tredicesima edizione della rassegna SHE DEVIL, inaugura allo Studio Stefania Miscetti domani, 19 marzo,  e prosegue fino al 24 maggio 2024. L’iniziativa propone in via eccezionale una selezione di opere prodotte esclusivamente da video-artisti e accomunate dalla capacità di fornire spunti di riflessione e suggestioni sul patriarcato, inteso come sistema relazionale di potere e dominazione.

Il discorso polifonico sviluppato da Stefania Miscetti e dal collettivo curatoriale nasce nella seconda metà del 2022, quando la discussione sul patriarcato non era ancora così ricorrente nel dibattito pubblico in Italia. Prende origine dalle notizie e dalle immagini che ci sono giunte dalle proteste iraniane, ed in particolar modo dalla dimensione condivisa e collettiva che hanno assunto, per poi interrogarsi sulle possibili pratiche di autocoscienza maschile e le conseguenti prese di posizione e responsabilità, soprattutto in tema di violenza, agìta e subita.

Citando Francesca Pasini, che a sua volta fa riferimento al concetto di “fratrie” di Lia Cigarini, ora che stiamo facendo esperienza del «crollo dell’ordine simbolico patriarcale» gli uomini «dovrebbero indagare la propria differenza e da lì andare a confronto con l’altra da sé. Questa è l’opera nuova per correggere “il presente disordine” e non spetta solo alle donne». In tal senso, nonostante la diversità della narrazione che per la prima volta si attua attraverso lo sguardo maschile, SHE DEVIL ribadisce la sua coerenza concettuale attraverso tematiche e scelte curatoriali, inevitabilmente ed intrinsecamente connesse alle ricadute del sistema patriarcale in ambito femminile. In questo modo, attraverso il medium video si mettono in luce ed in questione i molteplici aspetti strutturali, sociali, politici, economici della mascolinità egemonica, intesa come costrutto storico e culturale ma anche come insieme di pratiche che hanno permesso la perpetrazione di coercizione e sopraffazione.
Come da tradizione, l’edizione di quest’anno trova il suo spirito guida nella ricerca di un artista di fama internazionale, quest’anno l’artista Alfredo Jaar, che in qualità di “Good Father” dell’edizione presenta l’opera video del 1996 A Short Film on Monstrosity.

Inoltre, a coronamento delle due edizioni fuori “canone” della rassegna – oltre a quella corrente, la dodicesima, dedicata alla fluidità – sarà prodotta una pubblicazione edita da CURA., estensione del libro realizzato dalla stessa casa editrice e presentato al MAXXI nel 2019. Il volume sarà presentato nella primavera 2024 presso lo spazio Basement di Roma.

(dal comunicato stampa)

 (S)HE DEVIL 13, Studio Stefania Miscetti, Roma, 20.03 – 24.05.2024
SHE DEVIL nasce nel 2006 da un’idea di Stefania Miscetti, coinvolgendo artiste e curatrici sia italiane sia internazionali, dalle più giovani alle più affermate. Le varie opere e le differenti prospettive critiche convivono all’interno di un discorso a più voci, in cui emergono le molteplicità dei mondi e delle visioni femminili.
SHE DEVIL, nome di un’eroina della Marvel e titolo del famoso film del 1989 di Susan Seidelman, allude in modo giocoso allo spirito diabolico e bizzarro con cui l’esperienza artistica indaga e attraversa il quotidiano. I video si focalizzano su una ricerca al femminile e mettono a diretto confronto i diversi percorsi di indagine. Scopo dell’iniziativa è di sollecitare, a volte con ironia, a volte con realismo, la coscienza collettiva su temi come l’identità femminile, il corpo come luogo di rappresentazione e significato, l’esperienza personale che assurge a dimensione universale anche quando è l’intimità delle artiste ad essere portata in primo piano.
Dopo le prime due edizioni, del 2006 e del 2007, che vedevano coinvolte rispettivamente quattro e sei curatrici (ed altrettante artiste), dal 2009, con la terza edizione, Stefania Miscetti decide di coinvolgere un maggior numero di curatori. Il successo dell’iniziativa è in quell’anno confermato dall’edizione speciale internazionale tenutasi al Museo d’Arte Contemporanea MNAC di Bucarest. Nel 2010, invece, dopo la quarta edizione del progetto, SHE DEVIL partecipa alla mostra La Follia dell’arte durante il Festival di Ravello. Nel 2011 la quinta edizione del progetto viene presentata al Museo d’Arte Contemporanea MACRO Roma. Nel 2014 è stata realizzata la sesta edizione, confermando un’attenzione costante da parte delle più importanti testate di informazione.
Nel 2015 oltre alla settima edizione, si sono tenute la prima e la seconda tappa di SHE DEVIL on tour, a Terni presso la sede espositiva di Palazzo Primavera, e a Belfast (UK) negli spazi della Golden Thread Gallery. Nel 2016 si sono svolte l’ottava edizione e SHE DEVIL. Leipziger Edition: Home, alla Galerie KUB. Nel 2017 SHE DEVIL on tour approda in Lituania, presso la Galleria Nazionale d’Arte di Vilnius e presso la sede della galleria si svolge la nona edizione. Nel 2018, oltre alla decima edizione, sono state presentate selezioni della rassegna presso l’Istituto Nazionale della Grafica di Roma e presso il Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci. Nel 2019 oltre a SHE DEVIL 11 viene presentato il catalogo che racconta le undici edizioni di SHE DEVIL, pubblicato da CURA. edizioni. Nel 2021 si è tenuta presso la videogallery del MAXXI la dodicesima edizione S_HE DEVIL, e nel 2022 presso lo Studio. Nel 2023, nel contesto della quarta edizione della biennale internazionale d’arte contemporanea BIENALSUR, un’edizione speciale di SHE DEVIL si è tenuta al MUNTREF Museo de Artes Visuales di Buenos Aires, dove insieme a un’inedita selezione Argentina sono stati presentati oltre cinquanta video provenienti dalle passate edizioni.
