Visions in NYC in Miami

Visions in New York City is traveling to Art Basel Miami, Verge Fair. Thanks to Fedele Spadafora, one of our participating artists and Vanessa at the Gitana Rosa Gallery In Williamsburg, NY, we have garnered a spot for the screening on the night of Saturday, December 5th, 2009. Below is the media release. Please feel free to pass it on. If you are going to be there, please email me here at visionsinnyc@gmail.com so we have a chance to speak.

I also want to extend a huge thanks in appreciation for everyone who participated as well as those who made this possible. Congratulations to everyone.

**********************************

Visions in New York City
Short Films and Videos
Curated by Maurizio Pellegrin and Heather Van Uxem

Presented at The Verge Art Fair by Gitana Rosa Gallery and Fedele Spadafora
Along with Co-curator and Artist Heather Van Uxem
Special screening Saturday, December 5, from 6 to 9pm.
The Catalina Hotel, 1732 Collins Ave

A VISION: VISIONS IN NEW YORK CITY

Visions in New York City: Short Films and Videos has been a challenge on three platforms of investigation. The first was the analysis of the hundreds of films and videos submitted for the exhibitions and public screening. The second was the research of the infinite possibilities of interrelation between this material and the usual art-making practices we develop in our Department of Art and Art education. The third was the challenge faced by the participants in my Advanced Studio Course considering their dual roles as individual contributors and co-curators for this project. Visions in New York City is intended as a first of many future encounters on this subject. The project was totally open-ended in term of themes and techniques. We tried however to avoid the established artists. It would have been an easy shopping excursion in the numerous New York galleries and institutions, which are able to provide work by any international artist, if required. Visions in New York City is a simple issue. It is about what people simply are, what they would like to be, what they believe to be.

"American Indian Playing an Instrument"

La ville des expiations


The proliferation of absolute perfection of the hero, so hopeless, will comply with the divine and providential justice of Némésis against the toy of the invention of an oedipian fate.

La proliferazione dell'assoluta perfezione dell'eroe, così esasperata, si piegherà alla giustizia divina e provvidenziale della Nemesi contro il giocattolo dell'invenzione di una fatalità edipica.

Die Wucherung absolut wird sich Vollendung des Helden, die so verzweifelt ist, um die göttliche und schicksalhafte Gerechtigkeit von Némésis gegen das Spielzeug der Erfindung eines ödipalen Verhängnisses biegen.

Videopoetry Dream (Castelleone CR)

Nicola Frangione
Alice nella città
Castelleone (Cr)
Sabato 21 novembre – ore 21
VIDEOPOETRY DREAM
Installazione di Videopoesia
Il linguaggio visivo interagisce con il sogno plasmando l’immaginario. Le parole e le immagini sono in costante e provvisoria trasformazione. In quest’ambito dove la materia è lieve e le forme sono tracce visioni micropassaggi e paesaggi di impressioni, la videopoesia passa da viaggi in auto a suoni d’arpa sulla pelle. In sfera sensitiva a specchio entro la natura. Con gesto d’assenza al centro del cuore. Attraverso città del proprio gioco fra ricchezza ed incubo con performance migrante verso il nulla dove Pinocchio ama la Fata Turchina. Da qui si scopre la verità infermabile. La veste del cielo.

Caleidoscopio e ritmia di parola. Psichedelia a passeggio in collina.Questo in essenza il collante del microtesto che passaattraverso i video i quali offrono un variegato contesto di sperimentazioni sul tema.

Opere di Caterina Davinio, Gruppo Solaris, Antonio Meo, Semiolabile Cinematografica, Patrizia Monzani, Annelisa Addolorato, SempreCreativaPoetica, Gruppo Fludd, MariaGrazia Martina, Nicola Frangione, Giorgio Longo, Gruppo Sinestetico, Gherardo Bortolotti.
In collaborazione con il Circolo Poetico Correnti.
