| The objective of the new activity of
video art production, curated by Antonella Kurzen and produced by Fine Arts
Unternehmen AG, is to offer valid documentation that can testimony (as much
as a catalogue can) the actual nature of an exhibition, event or work of
an artist. Thus, the product will be a testimony of what took place and
will be strongly characterized as a logical supplement of the event itself—a
supplement capable not only of restoring the curatorial aspects of the works
but also of re-proposing the perceptive suggestions that event- and exhibition-goers
genuinely experience. Exhibitions document a perceptiveness underway in
contemporary art, and, as a consequence, video must record it, translating its natural diachronic register to the synchronic one proper to vision. |

Chema Alvargonzalez's profile places light at the centre of his search, both natural and artificial light. In his photographic images, as well as in the suggestive installations which he achieves, light shapes space, at the same time revealing its value which is full of meaning. His favourite themes are architectural and landscape visions, both urban and those of nature. In some cases, they are people, captured in moments of spontaneity. Whet is important is the underlying conceptual meaning, a meaning which generally inspires the artist to choose the image to represent. Year: 2002 Credits |

Does contemporary art still belong in galleries? What kind of alternative spaces today can allow artists to dialogue with actual society and to face our cultural identity. The video “The City of Gas” inspired by the exhibition “IN-PRESSIONE: Contemporary Artists in the Industrial Memory”, which ended recently at the Officine del Gas di Bovisa in Milan, is the starting point to reflect a new on the value of artistic expression outside the traditional circuits and to put the young face to face with the issues and calls of their own territory. Year: 2001 Credits |

| Die Aufteilung der Güter in der
Gesellschaft ist vollkommen unnötig The division of possessions in society is perfectly useless La ripartizione degli averi nella società è perfettamente inutile. Violently Happy - come calm me down before I get into trouble Violently Happy - I'm aiming too high Violently Happy - I'll get into trouble real soon Violently Happy - overemotional Suffocation and destortion are two things we feel every day in our society - when we're in a narrow, geometrical, cold and detached conference room, or even in our office, rented appartment or kitchen. Surrounded by a thousand objects yet feeling lost, disoriented and eventually claustrophobic. Geometry sometimes makes you feel uncomfortable. Perfection kills you. What we hear or listen to these days are usually distortions of something not even close to reality. Not even close to sincerity. I believe it's because of cowardliness. People can't take reality - what it means to really feel. They can only handle ambiguity and suspicion. Gea Politi |
