Fine Arts Unternehmen books are now available at LAIE bookshops (Barcelona).

 

Arts Libris is a project organized by Arts Santa Mònica Raiña Lupa and Fundació Comunicació Gràfica with the aim of promoting and publicizing the artist’s edition in the field of art and graphic experimentation and providing a meeting point for professionals and enthusiasts, producers and collectors in the context of Sant Jordi International Day of the Book.

The artist’s edition has a wealth of facets, possibilities and outcomes but there is a series of defining values that is common to all in the conception of the book as a piece of art or graphic experimentation, the painstaking care of the edition, the choice of papers, bindings and so on. The decision to set quality above commercial interests and the emphasis on direct contact with the buyer are the hallmarks of a collective that embraces art, craft, design, graphic arts and bookbinding and at the same time constitutes a significant productive sector with a long tradition and considerable influence in Catalonia.

Arts Libris is a meeting point for professionals and interested amateurs, and will host a couple of small exhibitions, round-tables, talks and book presentations.

During the four days of the Book Fair Arts Santa Mònica will be a place of constant activity, meetings and exchanges, and aims in time to become a major event for the sector. Arts Libris is conceived as a cross between a marketplace, an exhibition and a mini-conference.

The Collecchio Video Film Festival 2009 has awarded
“Le armi della libertà - Ritratto di famiglia armata” by David Induni
as best film in the category “Men: chronicles and memories”.

The Festival Internazionale del Cinema di Frontiera (www.cinemadifrontiera.it), that successfully takes place since nine years in the old fishing village of Marzamemi (Siracusa) in thesouthern tip of Sicily, includes off-program “Majorana Eigenstates,” an experimental film by the Italo-Swiss artist Marco Poloni (HD video, 2008, 46min). This film belongs to “The Majorana Experiment," a speculative exploration of the vanishing at sea, in 1938, of the outstanding physicist born in Catania.
The screening will take place in the Arab courtyard of Marzamemi on Saturday, July 25, after midnight (probably at 00:30). Entrance is free.

This festival is known for the interest of its artistic choices and for its delightful environment, with open-air screenings at different locations in close vicinity, without the risk of cancellations due to bad weather.
We would also like to mark the interesting proximity of Marzamemi to the laboratories of project NEMO (NEutrino Mediterranean Observatory) – with which the National Institute of Nuclear Physics is exploring the nature of neutrinos and muons, those subatomic particles that reach us from black holes and other remote objects of intergalactic space.
Already in the 30s Ettore Majorana studied neutrinos. This research is now carried out in ideal conditions thanks to an observatory located 3500 meters below the sea level offshore Capo Passero, a maritime site chosen because of the limpidity of its waters.

The film will be presented at Marzamemi by Riccardo Lisi, art critic and co-curator of Marco Poloni's next project, to be shot in Sicily in May 2010.
