Composites is a show on paper which documents a series of artists’ interventions in newspapers, magazines and periodicals. The show is articulated in various episodes, here realized on paper, because that is the context in which the works were conceived.
The history of artists’ interventions in magazines and newspapers is vast and historically articulated. Within it cohabitate examples with very different features and assumptions: some artists have preferred to realize “camouflaged” interventions (Dan Graham in The New York Review of Sex & Politics, Stephen Kaltenbach and Joseph Kosuth in Artforum, Dieter Roth in Anzeiger Stadt Luzern und Umgebung); others have produced t ... more

Michele Manfellotto, autore della rubrica di Nero Heaven Is Knowing Who You Are, ha cominciato una raccolta di materiale video e fotografico relativo a tutti gli eventi di Maxximalism.
Il progetto, provvisoriamente intitolato Eye Of The Beholder, mira alla composizione di un’opera collettiva, un montaggio di frammenti girati dal pubblico con apparecchi di uso quotidiano, dalle videocamere ai telefoni cellulari, rovesciando il punto di osservazione e privilegiando la descrizione dell’esperienza individuale rispetto alla registrazione pura e semplice dell’evento.
Non si tratta insomma di produrre un documentario, piuttosto un cut-up visivo e sonoro di punti di vista personali sulle nuove forme che ha assunto nel ventunesimo secolo il rito immortale del concerto.
Le foto e i video saranno archiviati e selezionati da Michele Manfellotto con la collaborazione della video maker e artista Tijana Mamula e dello staff di Nero.
Tutti i partecipanti saranno citati, anche quelli che non saranno inclusi nel montaggio finale, perciò non dimenticare di aggiungere nome e cognome.

Ryan Trecartin Any Ever will open Friday, July 16th at the MOCA Pacific Design Center. Ryan Trecartin defines himself a video and visual artist. As written on his YouTube channel he is interested in exploring through his work the implications of social networking technologies and Web 2.0 on identity and the web of subjectivity. In his work the conceptual value is significant but his videos are simply humorous, insane and acutely critical.
Tomorrow: NERO presents Mike Bones live at MAXXI. Bones is a singer-songwriter based in New York. He is one of the most appreciated guitar players of the New York independent scene, and a fine example of a new type of deep contemporary songwriting, one that experiments on the song-form using voice and guitar.
