Premiazione del Premio Durello New Perspectives
Un disco in vinile dove sono state registrate le tracce sonore di performance di tre cori di montagna con la partecipazione di giovani, uomini e donne. Tracce dell’inno nazionale di Mameli con il testo originale sostituito da parole-chiave Costituzione, dove emerge il sentimento collettivo di un popolo che desidera rendere vivi i principi sul quale si fonda il proprio paese. Con questa opera presentata dalla galleria Arte Boccanera di Trento – titolo Inno Nazionale d’Italia – l’artista Valentina Miorandi si è aggiudicata la prima edizione del Premio Durello New Perspectives, all’esordio ad ArtVerona con una giuria presieduta da Alfredo Cramerotti.
“Miorandi – si legge fra l’altro nelle motivazioni – non si presta a facili atteggiamenti critici senza conseguenze: genera contenuti e adotta mezzi sempre in maniera funzionale, fa qualcosa che serve alle persone che guardano o ascoltano. E non c’è retorica che tenga, dal momento che ci implica in quello che siamo”. La giuria, che ha selezionato l’opera fra 90 concorrenti ridotti poi a 10 finalisti, era composta da Chiara Bertola, direttrice artistica dell’Hangar Bicocca di Milano; Flavia Fossa Margutti, responsabile comunicazione del Mart; Aldo Lorenzoni, direttore del Consorzio Durello; Silvano Nicolato, Vice Presidente di Colli Vicentini e Massimo Simonetti, direttore artistico di ArtVerona.

Please join us on October 4th at 6:30pm for a discussion with Stefanos Tsivopoulos and Alfredo Cramerotti in connection with the current exhibition Stefanos Tsivopoulos: Borrowed Knowldege.
Borrowed Knowledge is a show in two parts: The Blind Image and The Public Library of Borrowed Knowledge. The show takes as its starting point an investigation into the construction of visual history and its relation to images and history’s claim to truth through two multifaceted works. The Blind Image brings together the film Amnesialand (2010), the artist’s most recent film Blind Image, a series of photos and display of books. The Public Library of Borrowed Knowledge will attempt to open up a participatory dialogue relating to the idea of knowledge production and cultural translation, initiating a collective working process for subsequent presentations.

La verità dell’esperienza
Annotazioni sulla fotografia espansa. Ovvero, Alfredo Cramerotti riflette su come la fotografia non sia più né un genere né suddivisibile in generi. Ben di più: è un “alfabeto”, un “archivio”. Anzi, la vita stessa, oramai.

GALLERY HOURS
Wednesday – Saturday, 12-6pm
The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) is pleased to announce the second show in its inaugural series of solo exhibitions. Borrowed Knowledge is a poetic investigation into memory and imagination by ISCP artist-in-residence Stefanos Tsivopoulos. In 2011, ISCP launched an annual initiative to offer three ISCP residents and one ISCP alum the space, time and challenge to produce new works and to engage with the context of their presentation.
Borrowed Knowledge is a show in two parts: The Blind Image and The Public Library of Borrowed Knowledge. The show takes as its starting point an investigation into the construction of visual history and its relation to images and history’s claim to truth through two multifaceted works. The Blind Image brings together the film Amnesialand (2010), the artist’s most recent film Blind Image, a series of photos and display of books. The Public Library of Borrowed Knowledge will attempt to open up a participatory dialogue relating to the idea of knowledge production and cultural translation, initiating a collective working process for subsequent presentations.

Blowup is a series of events and exhibitions that explore contemporary questions from multiple viewpoints. Blowup zooms in on ideas, bringing into focus clear pictures of how art, design, philosophy, and technology are transforming our lives — or reinforcing the status quo.
