Galleria Lorcan  O’ Neill - via Orti D’Alibert 1E - Rome

Jeff Wall is internationally credited as the artist who brought photography from the margins of the art world to its center. One of the most influential artists working today, his impact on generations of younger artists is immense.  His large-scale photographs, with their visual spectacle and deep intellectual resources, have been compared to the grand history paintings of the 19th century; they capture every detail of a moment and indelibly connect it to time.

CODALUNGA, Via Martiri 20, 31029, Vittorio Veneto

Designed in 2008, the festival which is held every year, makes the diversity between the various editions of its identity. Without annually timing, in different places and ways the Three Days of Struggle is rather in the visual and sound research and constant interaction with Vittorio Veneto, the city where the festival cannot be separated, their structure and reason for being.

This year the festival has invited Wolf Eyes as the only headliner for each of the three evenings. The trio made up of Mike Young, John Olson, Nate Young is undoubtedly the most influential group of the world-noise scene today; by being able to masterfully create an alchemy of what was once the first wave of the 1970s dark/wave era represented by Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and Suicide, which was stripped completely from the hood of depression, and energy and momentum of the punk scene of the 1990s of Dead Kennedys, Negation and Negative Approach. What emerges is a hybrid that if you have not yet listened at the dawn of 2012 you might as well not even come. Three days of Struggle are also extremely proud that Mike, John and Nate have accepted their proposal to play with their solo projects: Failing Lights, Henry & Hazel Slaughter and Regression in which emerge the individual and disparate passions resulting in sounds ranging from techno rhythms effective ideal soundtracks to horror movies through the European minimalism. The festival are also pleased to have with them one of the best black metal bands around: the Inquisition, which is their only Italian date. Their last album Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrosm consecrated them as absolute masters of the genre, making their live performances a legendary experience. Read more »

Fluxia - via giovanni ventura, 6 - Milan

The works inside Orbita are born from the observation of matter. The movement of the eye that scans the surface of materials, exploring their potential, is the primary gesture of Borgonovo’s sculptural practice.
The artist is interested in a series of bare minimum gestures, using marks and traces already present on the raw materials as a point of departure. Lifting, splitting, doubling, joining become empirical operations, which mark a point of contact between mind and matter.    Read more »

Wunderkammern - Via Gabrio Serbelloni, 124 - Rome

Valentina Vannicola’s new photographic series for W underkammern is a significant turning point with regard to her previous work, which was set in the more reassuring landscape of the Maremma area in northern Lazio:  Living Layers, with its manifold means of interpreting a territory, has led the artist to abstract the city from its present day existence, taking it into the suspended time of a parallel universe, in which “the obsessions, suffering and secrets of the human being” come alive. On exhibition at Wunderkammern will be images arising from the artist’s feelings when faced with the stories, experiences and sensations emerging from this specific urban landscape: a series of photographs that constantly combine literary and cinematographic references and see the participation of ordinary people, everyday inhabitants -actors who are drawn in, becoming protagonists in the work of art.

Leo Gabin (Lieven Deconinck, Gaëtan Begerem and Robin De Vooght) have worked as a collective since the early  2000’s  in  media  such as video, painting, drawing  and sculpture  and  have taught as a collective at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent where they received their Fine Art degrees.
Leo Gabin take inspiration from the proliferation of user generated media on the internet and the until now undefined space straddling the public and private realms. Themes of sex, violence and celebrity which dominate these users’ experiences are filtered though Gabin’s collage based aesthetic and confrontational  means of production.  Read more »
