Urban Movements
Curated by Silvia Casini
Cities in transition, mobile topographies, emotional journeys
Saturday November 7th in the gallery and inside the former warehouse of the ancient Jewish Ghetto in Vittorio Veneto (Venice area), Parentesi Studia will celebrate the 100th anniversary since the birth of Futurism. In this exhibition moving between video, painting and photography, walking on the crest between real and imaged architecture, the spectators trace their own personal paths.
In Movimenti Urbani (Urban Movements) the visitor-flâneur wanders about the paintings by Angelo Accardi, the photographic snapshots by Ruggero Ruggieri and the video art by filmmaker Jean-Claude Mocik.
No reassuring spatial-temporal coordinates are offered here, rather the possibility to discover another space, between memory and projection, stillness and movement, private and public, physical and emotional transport.
On occasion of this exhibition, visitors will have the chance to experience a video-performance realised exclusively for Parentesi Studia by internationally renowned filmmaker Jean-Claude Mocik, already protagonist of a retrospective at the Centre Pompidou.
Mocik’s 60-second-video, shot at the International Airport of Treviso will be projected in looping during the exhibition and will be part of the Parisian video cycle Midi Pile (http://www.vimeo.com/7236415).
