LUCCICHE: SIMPOSIO DI VIDEOARTE

Ponte di Ferro
Via Carriona di Colonnata 2
Carrara, Italia
22-26 giugno 2016

Ponte di Ferro è un’associazione indipendente tra artisti, in prevalenza Scultori del Manno, nata a Carrara più di dieci anni fa. Ponte di Ferro è un laboratorio creato per avere un ambiente vitale dove condividere interessi e progetti; uno spazio attrezzato dove poter realizzare le proprie opere. Come ogni anno, Ponte di Ferro organizzerà anche per ii 2016 un Simposio e quest’anno, per la prima volta, sara dedicato alla Videoarte. 

Le Lucciche, alle quali è intitolato questo Simposio, sono un comune difetto del marmo, un fattore aleatorio nella materia che contraddistingue la superficie con piccole impurità di Cristalli e Quarzi. II tema e quindi quello dell’imperfezione come qualità positiva che porta all’unico e all’irripetibile.

Il Simposio e articolato in Mappature e Proiezioni. Per la sezione mappature i curatori sono Giacomo dalla Pina e Luca Afro (studio Cyberfreak). La sezione single-channel video e affidata al video artista statunitense Marco G. Ferrari (www.ferraristudios.com).

II Simposio è gratuito e di libero accesso. L’Evento è interamente organizzato e finanziato dall’Associazione Ponte di Ferro e dai suoi collaboratori. Ogni sera, in contemporanea con le Video Proiezioni, si alterneranno Spettacoli e Concerti.

Ponte di Ferro is an independent association composed of artists, working mostly in marble, that began more than 10 years ago. It’s focus is to create a collaborative environment, with sculpting studios for local and international artists to work on personal projects. As in past years, Ponte di Ferro is organizing a symposium on art, though for the first time concentrating on video exclusively.

Lucciche (shimmering), which the symposium event draws inspiration from, are random markings in stone, seen as surface impurities of Crystal and Quartz that shimmer when in contact with light. The theme therefore is of imperfection, an accidental quality that points towards the irreproducible. 

The outdoor symposium is divided into two main film programs each evening: Video Mapping Projections curated by Giacomo della Pina e Luca Afro (studio cyberfreak) and Single-Channel Video Screenings curated by Chicago based artist Marco G. Ferrari (www.ferraristudios.com)

The outdoor symposium event is free and open to the public. The event is organized and sponsored by Ponte di Ferro and other collaborators. Every night, before and after the video screenings and mapping projections, performances and concerts will take place.
