Con trentuno lavori selezionati su millenovecento, VIDEONALE.18, titolato «Fluid States, Solid Matter», apre uno spazio di riflessione su un mondo che cambia dove interrelazioni sociali, politiche, economiche e interrelazioni ecologiche sono riassestate e nuovi ordini sono costituiti in dinamiche complesse.
Su quali basi viviamo, pensiamo agiamo oggi? Come stiamo costruendo una base per il prossimo futuro? Concetti occidentali antropocentrici – dai diritti umani, con la nozione della proprietà privata fino alla fondazione di stati – sono basati sull’assunzione di un sovra-regno individuale, un corpo fisso e autonomo dai contorni distinti e confini chiari rispetto al proprio ambiente. Come questo corpo, il modo in cui lo percepiamo e il suo posizionamento nel mondo, cambia dal momento in cui lo concepiamo come un fluido, costantemente impegnato a mutare in relazione con altri corpi e con i suoi dintorni umani, naturali e più che umani?
Questa idea di «Bodies of Water» (Astrida Neimanis) non solo liquefà la nostra concezione di una separazione chiara tra umani e natura, ma capovolge anche altre gerarchie e confini stabiliti, fornendo uno spazio di pensiero sui nuovi e complessi sistemi di riferimento dove ci muoviamo assieme con il nostro corpo. Se accettiamo questo come base di una futura forma di coesistenza, come questo altera la nostra percezione rispetto all’altro? Quali nuove possibilità di cooperazione politica, sociale, ecologica ed economica potrebbero essere immaginate come plausibili?

Earth Action Art Show – Call for Art 2021
April 1-30, 2021 in Berkeley, CA
Earth Action Initiative is a collective of Berkeley graduate students and community members. We aim to nurture a community in which climate action integrates into our everyday lives. To execute this vision, we organize an annual conference featuring community-building workshops that highlight current environmental efforts, while inspiring new initiatives to combat climate change.
The Earth Action Art Show is an extension of this mission. Raw climate data, research papers, scientific jargon and non-sensical political banter on climate change can be overwhelming and difficult to internalize. We believe art may provide a more relatable and intimate experience to connect with issues facing our climate, and inspire action in a way data cannot.
This past year, the pandemic brought about loss and hardship for all. Yet, as we sheltered in place, we saw many positive effects on our environment – wildlife returned to urban areas, and air pollution abated to less egregious levels. This year’s Art Show centers on the theme “Wildlife,” to celebrate a positive aspect of the pandemic amidst a year of adversity.
The focus of EAI is direct action. Consequently, the art show also acts as an opportunity to raise funds for mini action grants, awarded in our local community through a proposal process. Artists whose artwork is accepted will have the opportunity to display their artwork for sale, as well as the option to donate all or a portion of sale proceeds to our action grant fund. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s Art Show will be primarily virtual, with a limited selection of artworks displayed in local small business venues in Berkeley, CA.

VIDEO POST rilancia Offset XYZ, scultura cinetica e oggetto che si trasforma nel movimento guidato da un’intelligenza fisica e artificiale. L’oggetto, che si adatta ad una proporzione riconosciuta nel Modulor Man di Le Corbusier, è autonomo e imprevedibile, possiede un suo tempo di base, una sua coscienza, una sua realtà, imita i patterns comportamentali dell’uomo e li astrae in azioni e processi.Non solo la scultura è mobile, ma è anche intelligente e cerca di adattarsi all’ambiente e ai suoi abitanti.

RESIDENCY AT ZK/U BERLIN
Residency Program
ZK/U hosts a multidisciplinary residency program, offering a living and working space for practitioners of all kinds (artists, researchers, activists, professionals of various fields) whose work or approach explores the dynamics and experiences of the city. The residency program welcomes applications with proposal framed as:
• a conceptual, contextual and interventionist contemporary artistic position,
• research or experimentation in the fields of urbanism, geography, anthropology, architecture and the humanities.
The common theme and interests that link the work of ZK/U residents allow mutual learning, spontaneous collaborations, discussions and exchanges to emerge, enriched by the diversity of disciplines and profiles of the residents. The ZK/U building, a former train station building located in a dynamic public park, is a space for urban experimentation and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Hosting regular public events for a diverse audience, ZK/U is also a lively cultural venue. Residents are encouraged to involve themselves with ZK/U’s cultural program and to propose their own formats.
More information on the residency can be found here.
(If you are an artist or cultural practitioner with curatorial experience based on the African continent, please see our current Open Call for the fully funded TURN2 Curatorial Research Residencies at ZK/U.)
Conceptual framework
Applicants are encouraged to formulate their project proposals with the conceptual discourses of ZK/U in mind.
What we provide
• a studio-apartment for living and working
• access to communal spaces (kitchen, terrace, library)
• a special residency program of weekly dinners, monthly studio visits and bi-monthly open studio events (OPENHAUS)
• the possibility to take part or be part of ZK/U’s public events
• support to locate events, resources, and urban discourses relevant to the residency fellows’ research interests
• support to create self-initiated public events or formats (additional costs may apply)
• promotion of the residency fellows’ work online and locally
Costs
For individual residents or groups, depending on the type of studio-apartment and the length of stay (3-8 months), the residency fees are between €550 and €850 per month. The fees cover all utility costs, space usage and participation in the residency programming. The residency period can take place anytime within the next two years after the selected resident is notified.
COVID-19
Since spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed a world-wide challenge to all, including the cultural field. The ZK/U residency has stayed open throughout the pandemic and was able to constantly adapt to the changing situation and regulations, ensuring the safety of its community and a continuation of its programming in diverse forms when possible. However, bringing non-EU-based future residents into the EU has been quite difficult and will likely remain so as long as border restrictions are not relaxed or lifted. In all cases, the ZK/U team will do everything possible to ensure a safe stay at the residency.
Construction at ZK/U
From Summer 2021 to Autumn 2022 (planning status of Feb 2021) the public spaces of the ZK/U building will be expanded. The residency will still be open normally but the planned construction will likely affect the working and living situation at ZK/U. We will try to offer alternative spaces for showcasing your work for our regular OPENHAUS. Please consider this when you apply for a residency within this time frame.

Azzurra Immediato: Quali sono i bisogni che, oggi, la società dovrebbe e vorrebbe veder espressi attraverso la cultura, dunque, anche mediante la creatività e le idee di ogni singolo?
Amerigo Mariotti: Credo che la cultura abbia oggi una necessità che incontra il bisogno stesso della società alla quale si rivolge: creare le circostanze per provare a comprendere il proprio tempo, e le complessità che lo animano. Viviamo una contemporaneità affatto semplice, stratificata, multidimensionale, multi identitaria. La cultura ha il dovere di sollevare quesiti, questioni, domande – la società ha la necessità di essere solleticata, incuriosita e stimolata nella formazione di una posizione critica nei confronti del proprio tempo, aprendo lo sguardo, lasciandosi spiazzare, coinvolgere, e perché no, informare.
Come immagini possa originarsi la nascita di nuove entità culturali? Cosa è per te una ‘nuova entità culturale?
Un contenitore eterogeneo, di mescolanze, dove varie competenze possano interagire, innestarsi, contaminarsi. Dove si esplorino possibilità. Una nuova entità culturale, a mio avviso, dovrebbe fungere da facilitatore, da connettore tra le professionalità: una rete, che unisca l’importanza della conoscenza al potere della visionarietà.
‘Ibridazione culturale’ e ‘superamento delle frontiere del sapere’: chimera o realtà? È possibile pensare a un nuovo habitat innovativo ed innovato in cui cultura ed altri universi del sapere possano dialogare e fondersi?
È possibile, certo. In un certo senso, soprattutto in ambito di ricerca, questa fusione è già una realtà. E con sempre maggiore frequenza, la ricerca oggi si fa nelle università come nelle aziende, nei laboratori, nelle fondazioni, nelle istituzioni. Attraverso convegni, residenze, occasioni mirate di studio e sperimentazione. È auspicabile che questa pratica di contaminazione si estenda e che si intensifichi la compartecipazione tra i differenti ambiti, tra arte e scienza, incoraggiando un approccio multidisciplinare al fare cultura, al passo col proprio tempo.
Sono convinto che una metodologia di pensiero multilaterale, un processo di creazione ibrido, vada a rafforzare mutualmente ogni ambito coinvolto nella sperimentazione. È già attualità, ma la mia speranza è che si possano vedere sempre più realtà nelle quail, ad esempio, un artista lavora in uno studio di architettura, così come in un ufficio ricerca e sviluppo di un’azienda o all’interno di una università.

Amerigo Mariotti: Nasce nel 1978 a Lanciano in provincia di Chieti. Dal 2010 è fondatore e direttore artistico, insieme a Daniela Tozzi, dello spazio espositivo ADIACENZE. Lavora nell’ambito dell’arte, del design e dell’architettura tra Bologna e San Salvo in Abruzzo, dove si occupa del suo studio associato. Ad Adiacenze si occupa di scouting, progettazione e allestimento delle mostre e dei progetti speciali. L’intervento di Amerigo Mariotti è parte della serie di indagini condotte da Azzurra Immediato come parte di Loading, fase preliminare di GAME OVER, progetto finalizzato alla ricerca e allo studio di nuove “entità culturali”, persone, oggetti o ricerche provenienti da diversi ambiti disciplinari (i.e. fisica, bio-robotica, AI, agricoltura, medicina) e al loro traghettamento nel mondo dell’arte. Si tratta di una ricerca ma anche di un gesto che va oltre il semplice dialogo interdisciplinare e diventa piuttosto radicale: un vero e proprio ‘trapianto’ di ambiti di ricerca indirizzato alla predisposizione di future c(o)ulture, dove la “creatività” corrisponde ad “invenzione” ed “invenzione” corrisponde a contribuire ad una trasformazione. Una scintilla, un segnale di mutazione genetica, un cambio di direzione, un cortocircuito. Un’energia diversa che sia il segnale di un cambiamento in atto e che possa costituire nuova linfa vitale per il sistema della Cultura. Questa prima fase è una fase investigativa e si rivolge a visionari, pensatori ibridi di vari settori, inclusi quelli della cultura, che possano esprimersi sulle necessità attuali, ciascuno in relazione al proprio ambito disciplinare e, in linea più generale, nel rispetto della cultura e della società ad ampio raggio.

Alla sfida di esplorare nuove modalità di relazione, oltra al digitale il MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna risponde con il progetto Dear you, a cura di Caterina Molteni che impiega un mezzo più tradizionale, la posta. I sei artisti invitati, Hamja Ahsan (Londra, 1981), Giulia Crispiani (Ancona, 1986), Dora García (Valladolid, 1965), Allison Grimaldi Donahue (Middletown, 1984), David Horvitz (Los Angeles, 1982) e Ingo Niermann (Biefeled, 1969),sono accomunati da una pratica fortemente legata alla poesia, alla scrittura e alla performance. Concepiti come poesie, brevi racconti, istruzioni per atti performativi e come dispositivi relazionali, i lavori che verranno realizzati dialogheranno con la dimensione creatrice del linguaggio, guardando alla lettura come una esperienza trasformativa.
Dear you nasce da una riflessione sui confini e sulle potenzialità dello spazio intimo. Considerando le attuali condizioni di semi-isolamento a cui la popolazione mondiale è costretta, il progetto si sofferma sull’intimità non solo come sofferta solitudine, ma come luogo di una possibile e vitale autodeterminazione.
Il progetto intende osservare l’indagine introspettiva e il suo esercizio come spazio di trasformazione, concependo l’identità come una dimensione in divenire, possibile fonte di importanti rivoluzioni politiche e sociali ma anche emotive e sentimentali.
Dear you si propone di rivalutare condizioni ed esperienze emotive come la fragilità e l’emotività, esaltandone gli elementi generativi. Incita a nuove forme di amore, erotismo, amicizia e lealtà, riflettendo su possibili risorse emotive e fisiche capaci di espandere il nostro spettro di auto rappresentazione e di desiderio personale e collettivo.
Allo stesso tempo, le artiste e gli artisti riflettono su temi di fondamentale rilevanza nella nostra contemporaneità come la perdita di contatto fisico e le relative ripercussioni sulla vita emotiva, la diminuzione della vita sociale condivisa e la necessità di creare nuove strategie di relazione e di cura, al di là dell’esperienza digitale.
Dear you richiama espressamente la corrispondenza amorosa per accentuare il forte intimismo innescato dalla ricezione di una lettera. In particolare si vuole sottolineare come la corrispondenza postale sia capace di alimentare dinamiche di cura grazie alla capacità di trasformare una voce lontana in qualcosa di tangibile e prossimo. Il progetto permette inoltre la comunicazione e fruizione di opere d’arte fisiche oltre i confini geografici nazionali oggi bloccati e fortemente regolamentati dalle restrizioni imposte dalla pandemia globale, favorendo così lo scambio di idee e di gesti di attenzione.
Il MAMbo invita il suo pubblico a partecipare e diventare lo «you» destinatario di questa corrispondenza artistica. Per ogni iscrizione, Dear you prevede la spedizione di sei lettere, una per artista coinvolto. Ogni busta conterrà un’opera in forma di lettera e un testo di accompagnamento sul progetto. È previsto l’invio di una lettera ogni 2 settimane, indicativamente tra marzo e maggio 2021.

“We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden”
Questi versi di Joni Mitchell (1969) aprono la pagina dedicata di [Alien] Star Dust: Signal to Noise: un progetto creato da Victoria Vesna e co-prodotto con un team di artisti e scienziati per esplorare la «polvere di stelle», un pulviscolo impalpabile, visibile ad occhio nudo tramite la sua deposizioni sulla superficie terrestre, risultato dell’unione tra particelle provenienti da terreno, rocce, montagne e deserti di tutto il mondo, con piccole quantità di materiale di origine spaziale proveniente da stelle, comete e meteoriti. Questa polvere, che si muove trasportata dal vento, porta con se anche minuscole particelle di terreno benefico e sostanze nutritive, nonché batteri, inquinamento, virus e spore potenzialmente dannosi. Victoria Vesna analizza questo fenomeno attraverso il suono, l’installazione e la meditazione online, rendendo la tecnologia un mezzo di riflessione sull’Interconnessione tra noi, il nostro pianeta e l’universo, oltre che un mezzo di auto-riconoscimento come parte di una grande unicità.
L’installazione fisica di [Alien] Star Dust attinge ad una collezione di meteoriti che sono atterrati in tutti i continenti, selezionati in stretto dialogo con il direttore del museo di Vienna, il geologo Christian Koeberl e il curatore di meteoriti Ludovic Ferrière. I meteoriti sono una fonte immaginaria che riconduce al concetto delle polveri Aliene, veicolato anche da micro-meteoriti ingranditi e stampati in 3D sospesi nell’aria. La mostra è stata presentata in anteprima nel 2020 al Museo di storia naturale di Vienna, il giorno prima che l’intera città chiudesse a causa di COVID 19.
Una delle tante particolarità del progetto consiste proprio nella sua evoluzione in una meditazione guidata globale, collaborativa e partecipativa che, secondo l’artista «porta i partecipanti in uno spazio di guarigione e trascendenza attraverso immagini e vibrazioni» distanziandosi da una semplice installazione, ma prendendo la forma di un rituale che avvolge e completa l’intera esperienza. Durante il periodo di crisi generato dall’emergenza Covid19 e dalla conseguente quarantena, è diventato evidente come la collettività abbia bisogno di cercare dei mezzi che possano soddisfare un bisogno di contemplazione e connettività, in contrapposizione al dolore e senso di vuoto provato da molti. Vesna «facilita» l’azione proponendo l’immedesimazione in una materia celeste, sempiterna è costantemente in movimento, in contrapposizione totale con le restrizioni motorie, la paura della morte e i rischi reali generati dal momento storico.
Trasmettendo in diretta da Integratron il 21 dicembre, il giorno del solstizio d’inverno, i partecipanti all’evento online sono stati accompagnati nella meditazione guidata dall’artista, attraverso un’immersione metaforica nelle polveri aliene, terrestri e artificiali che viaggiano in lungo e in largo sulla terra recando una realtà invisibile pregna di complessità. «La maggior parte di noi -spiega l’artista- vive la vita quotidiana senza essere consapevole delle polveri extraterrestri che potrebbero essere sul pavimento della loro cucina, proprio qui sulla terra. Il segnale alieno (inteso come testimonianza di unione universale) si perde nel rumore umano, e la meditazione di gruppo diventa quindi un mezzo per rivendicare la nostra cittadinanza universale piuttosto che planetaria, entrando in contatto con questa materia ancestrale».
L’audio è una parte fondamentale di [Alien] Star Dust. L’animazione sonora è diventata parte della meditazione guidata, ed é basata su una composizione di suoni creata dagli studenti della UCLA Ivana Dama e Clinton van Arnam, ulteriormente spazializzata dal compositore di suoni surround Paul Geluso, sotto la direzione concettuale della Vesna: Strati di segnali tratti dallo spazio si mescolano al rumore prodotto dall’uomo e melodie di varie culture, ampliando l’esperienza di connessione profonda e antica tra l’uomo e la «polvere di stelle». Alla base dell’intero complesso dei suoni, ci sono dei rumori oscillanti derivati dai dati live del coronavirus programmati da John Brumley. Rhiannon Catalyst aggiunge la sua voce ultraterrena all’esperienza, e Geluso introduce un flauto e un drone per aiutare i viaggiatori della mente partecipanti ad entrare in un’altra dimensione.
L’artista ha anche utilizzato registrazioni raccolte da antenne che fungono da ricevitore di segnali radio riflessi dalle scie di plasma delle meteore, rumori tratti dai radar di sorveglianza spaziale francese GRAVES, frequenze registrate della NASA, suoni creati dall’attrito all’interno del sismometro della sonda spaziale InSight (SEIS), suoni da Marte e vibrazioni prodotte dal Sole.
L’ultima aggiunta alla composizione sonora è stata unita appena prima di finalizzare il progetto, quando gli astrofisici hanno annunciato il rilevamento di raffiche superveloci di onde radio che vibrano attraverso la Terra dallo spazio profondo in uno schema ripetuto, lampi che si verificano probabilmente da miliardi di anni.
Questo insieme di suoni, umani e spaziali, suggerisce che c’è una sorta di macchina naturale nell’universo che pompa vibrazioni regolari di energia radio attraverso l’universo, con il quale l’artista vuole farci entrare in connessione attraverso una celebrazione digitale.
Secondo Vesna, è importante che ascoltiamo e decodifichiamo questi messaggi dallo spazio per comprendere come ogni essere vivente sia composto da una combinazione di diversi elementi provenienti dal Big Bang: idrogeno, elio, fosforo, carbonio e ossigeno, tutti derivanti dall’esplosione di un’unica, gigantesca stella.
Then can i walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And i feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it’s the time of man
I don’t know who l am
But you know life is for learning
We are stardust
Joni Mitchell, Woodstock

I veleni abbracceranno la Terra come un focoso amante.
E nel mortale abbraccio, i cieli avranno l’alito della morte e le fonti non daranno più che acque amare e molte di queste acque saranno più tossiche del sangue marcio del serpente.
Gli uomini moriranno di acqua e di aria, ma si dirà che sono morti di cuore e di reni
Profezia di Rasputin (XIX secolo)
Fino al 12 Marzo presso The Gallery Apart sarà possibile visitare «In And Against The War On Terra», la seconda personale romana dell’artista austriaco Oliver Ressler. La mostra approfondisce le questioni climatiche legate all’inquinamento ambientale e al capitalismo fossile, divenendo una chiara riflessione sull’antropocene e il «climate change» e su ciò che è possibile fare concretamente per tutelare la salute del pianeta. Il lavoro di Oliver Ressler viaggia sul confine sottile che esiste tra attivismo politico e performance art e nasce da un passato dell’artista come documentarista.
Il nucleo principale della mostra ruota attorno all’installazione video a 6 canali intitolata Everything’s coming together while everything’s falling apart che riprende i momenti della battaglia alla giustizia climatica e la lotta degli attivisti contro il sistema capitalistico nel quale le questioni etiche sono schiacciate dagli interessi economici. Tra i video della serie è presente il film su Code Rood nel quale gli attivisti hanno bloccato il porto di Amsterdam a causa della consistente movimentazione di carbone.
L’opera video è girata in presa diretta dall’artista che ha contribuito in tal modo a partecipare a queste rivolte di massa; è presente un forte senso estetico, paesaggi meravigliosi si alternano a scenari industriali esaltati dalle tute bianche anticontaminazioni chimiche indossate dagli attivisti; inoltre l’artista ha scelto di sottotitolare le scene in italiano per far arrivare allo spettatore il messaggio in maniera più comprensibile possibile.
Nella parete di fronte al monitor troviamo quattro fotografie della serie «How Is the Air Up There?» che ripercorrono i momenti dell’occupazione del bosco tedesco di Hambach in cui gli attivisti si sono insediati sugli alberi costruendo case per evitare il disboscamento pianificato dall’azienda elettrica RWE che vorrebbe raderlo al suolo per ricavarne lignite. Una delle quattro opere fotografiche documenta un atteggiamento tipico di queste proteste in cui si finisce per insultare, infatti su uno stendardo appeso ad un albero gli ambientalisti hanno scritto «FUCK RWE».
Tra le altre stampe presenti in mostra troviamo Red Line Against Fossil Capitalism, si tratta di uno still-frame tratto dal video su Code Rood; e poi ancora le opere Every round-trip ticket on flights from New York to London costs the Arctic three more square meters of ice e Arctic permafrost is less permanent than its name suggests le quali riportano delle scritte grafiche in 3D che nel primo caso si inseriscono all’interno del permafrost che si sta degradando e nel secondo caso ricordano il fenomeno del suolo poligonale causato dal criosollevamento, un effetto che provoca il rigonfiamento di terreni umidi come conseguenza del gelo-disgelo. In particolare questi ultimi due lavori si rivelano essere delle profonde e veritiere riflessioni ma anche dei paradossi, letteralmente «Arctic permafrost is less permanent than its name suggests», che significa, infatti: « il permafrost artico è meno permanente di quanto suggerisce il nome».
Passando al piano inferiore, nel basement della Apart è presente una grande videoproiezione dell’occupazione del red carpet del Venezia Film Festival da parte di 200 attivisti che si sono battuti per il riscaldamento globale.
La parola e l’immagine in questa personale si mostrano dunque i veicoli più immediati che l’artista utilizza per interporsi tra la società e la battaglia ambientale.
Sono storie reali quelle che riporta Ressler nelle sue opere, documentari di storia e avvertimenti. Le fotografie e i video sono evidenti scosse alla coscienza di chi vede il riscaldamento globale come un problema da lasciare alle future generazioni dimenticando però che le stesse saranno formate dai propri figli e dai propri nipoti.
