THE #LIFE_&_DEATH_OF_MARINA_ABRAMOVIC

La Galleria #Weber&Weber ospita “The Life and Death of #Marina_Abramović” mostra fotografica ad opera #Omid_Hashemi, fotografo ufficiale del progetto operistico e stretto collaboratore della celebre artista performativa Marina Abramović.
L’idea di questa pièce teatrale, meditazione generale di vita e di morte, inizia nel 2007 quando l’Abramobić telefona al noto regista teatrale #Robert_Wilson affinché lui mettesse in scena la sua morte -“ Solo se posso anche mettere in scena la tua vita” rispose. All'incrocio tra teatro, opera e arte visiva, il regista d’avanguardia Robert Wilson dirige e racconta la straordinaria vita e il prolifico lavoro dell'artista Marina Abramović partendo dalla sua difficile infanzia in una Belgrado controllata dai sovietici. L’opera ha come protagonista l’artista che recita nei panni di sé stessa e della madre, e vede come co-protagonista l’attore Willem Dafoe, il tutto accompagnato dalla splendida colonna sonora del cantante e compositore Antony Hegarty. I racconti di vita dell’Abramović si alternano così a intime canzoni, significativamente come in “Santi Ascendono”: "Dio condanna / Coloro che feriscono gli altri / Ma cosa pensa / Di una donna che affligge il dolore / Su sé stessa?
La performance ebbe la sua prima mondiale negli Stati Uniti, al Manchester International Festival nel 2011, e da allora è stato replicato numerose volte sul palcoscenico con un grande successo di pubblico.
Per la mostra sono state selezionate alcune fotografie dell’artista iraniano Omid Hashemi che da anni collabora con l’artista serba e insegna la sua Méthode. Omid realizza ritratti intimi di questo incredibile pezzo poetico di teatro biografico. Gli elementi macabri dei ricordi di Marina sono trasformati, capovolti, in qualcosa di meraviglioso e dalle tinte umoristiche. Su sfondi dai chiaroscuri cangianti si stagliano le figure che, seppur reali visivamente, sembrano appartenere a un rituale misterico in un affondo nel dramma e durezza dell’esistenza. L’atmosfera è onirica dove dimensione umana e ultraterrena si confondono acquisendo un effetto ipnotico - sulle note di Antony: "That is my destiny. I became a Volcano of Snow".
Omid Hashemi fissa in scatti leggeri e visionari il dramma di una delle più celebri e controverse personalità dell’arte contemporanea dalla sua nascita fino alla sua ipotetica fine, in un continuo gioco dove il protagonista resta il proprio corpo e i propri limiti.
La rassegna narra i racconti sopravvissuti di questa “quasi opera”.
“The Life and Death of Marina Abramović” prosegue collateralmente alla manifestazione fotografica The Phair presso il Padiglione Nervi di Torino Esposizioni (27/28/29 maggio).
La mostra è stata curata da Saeed Khavar Nejad e realizzata grazie alla collaborazione con l’Istituto internazionale SAFPEM (Middle East & Europe Specialized Institute of
Contemporary Arts), con sede a Parigi e Toronto, che da anni è attivamente impegnato nel valorizzare e promuovere l’arte contemporanea del Medio Oriente nel contesto artistico occidentale.

Biografia Omid Hashemi
Nato nel 1986 a Teheran, Omid è un artista e ricercatore. Si è trasferito frequentemente a causa della sua situazione familiare; dal 1989 al 1993 in Turchia, poi in Pakistan. Nel 2006 si è trasferito a Parigi per completare i suoi studi presso l'Università di Parigi VIII con una tesi di dottorato in Aesthetics, Science and Technology of the Arts, presso questa Università è poi diventato docente.
È stato nel febbraio 2009, a Parigi, che Omid ha incontrato Marina Abramović. L'ha poi accompagnata nel giugno 2009 a Manchester per seguire il suo lavoro, e l'anno successivo a Madrid. Marina Abramovic accettò di diventare la sua insegnante. Marina Abramovic ha seguito la sua strada, consigliandolo.

#IROMEDIA

The 2nd Annual Event of #IROMEDIA will be held from 1 to 15 September of 2023 at TECH_FAC New Media Arts Museum in Tehran.

Local, Latin American artists’ new media artwork on show

The event which was launched on September 1 at Tech_Fac New Media Arts Museum in Tehran, showcases video and video installation works of some important artists from Latin America. Also, an interesting collection of 13 video artworks from Iranian new media artists are on display, ILNA reported on Monday.

Many established artists from Iran, Cuba, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina have come to Tehran to present their innovative video art pieces. Each of them has reimagined the medium in their own way, creating a wild mix of contemporary technological advances and their own artistic vision.

New media art includes artworks designed and produced by means of electronic media technologies, comprising virtual art, computer graphics, computer animation, digital art, interactive art, sound art, Internet art, video games, robotics, 3D printing, and cyborg art.

Among Latin American artists whose work is presented at IROMEDIA are Gabriela Golder, Lucas Bambozzi, Enrique Ramirez, Kika Nicolela, Eder Santos, Elcio Miazaki, Franco Palioff, and others. The exhibition is curated by Gabriel Soucheyre, Marta Blanchietti, Giovana Rombaldi, Saeed Khavarnejad, and Carola Del Pizzo.

The Iranian part of the show includes works by Mohammad Ali Famori, Melina Clade, Dorsa Basij, Shirin Abedinirad, Mehrnoosh Roshanaei, Behnam Kamrani, Sadeq Majlesipour, Elham Kazemi, Samira Pahlevani, Babak Sepanta, Rosi Taheri, Arezou Ramezani, Soheil Kheirabadi, and Elmira Abolhasani.

A number of the Iranian artists participating in the event are members of Platform 101, an independent and non-profit institution promoting trailblazing artists and cutting-edge forms of art.

Founded by the Iranian multidisciplinary artist and curator Mohammad Ali Famori in 2018, Platform 101 has already made a name for itself in the world of new media art. The institution is widely known for creating a unique space that promotes freedom of expression and creativity. Platform 101 can also be considered the birthplace of glitch art in Iran.

Glitch art is the practice of using digital or analog errors for aesthetic purposes by either corrupting digital data or physically manipulating electronic devices.

This year’s IROMEDIA will wrap up on September 15. Tech_Fac Museum is located at Dayhim Innovation Factory, Poonel St., HesarAmir Road, Qiamdasht, Tehran.

Tech-Fac Museum is going to serve as a specialized platform in the field of digital and new media art on a local, regional and global scale.

Waiting For #Marina_Abramovic - By #Fabrizio_Dividi

The inspection between #OGR and #Mole by some collaborators of the famous artist lights up the hope of his visit to the city on the occasion of the photographic exhibition at Weber & Weber and The Phair

And if, in Turin, the Artist were really "present"? Paraphrasing one of the most famous performances by Marina Abramovic, who with The Artist is present had redesigned the maps of contemporary art, one wonders if the most famous bodyartist on the planet will really be able to reveal herself in the city. The rumors in this sense have been chasing each other for weeks, without any confirmation of her presence but with explicit admissions from her entourage that this can happen.

The pretext for an impromptu visit, moreover in an already record period in terms of international visibility for our city, would derive from two important artistic events that concern it. From Friday (inauguration tomorrow at 6 pm) until Saturday 23 July, the Weber and Weber Gallery in via San Tommaso 7 hosts The life and Death of Marina Abramovic , a photographic exhibition that will continue alongside "The Phair", an event scheduled for Torino Esposizioni between 27 and 29 May.

"These are 12 shots - Carlomaria Weber anticipates - that the Iranian artist Omid Hashemi had captured from behind the scenes of the play directed by Robert Wilson and interpreted by Abramovic herself and by Willem Dafoe".

“Do you really want me to stage your death? I will do it on condition that you allow me to do it also with your life ». This is how the great avant-garde director had replied to the artist in 2007. And it was thus that the work that gives its name to the Turin W&W exhibitions was born, based on the life of the protagonist, from childhood in Belgrade, where she was born in 1946, up to the story of his existence devoted to art. «In our gallery - adds Alberto Weber - Hashemi's solo show will be enriched by the official video of the show; then, in the days of The Phair, part of the exhibition will be shown in the fair dedicated to photography ».

Finally he explains the origins of his admiration for the artist: «It dates back to 1977, the year of Imponderabilia in Bologna. In what I believe to be one of her most memorable performances, the visitors had to pass between her and Ulai's naked bodies leaning against a doorpost; I was one of them ».

The exhibition was curated by Saeed Khavar Nejad, in collaboration with the Safpem Institute which for years has been committed to spreading and enhancing contemporary art from the Middle East and Africa in the West and in Asian countries. «With this institution - he explains - we have created something that did not exist before: a sort of living archive made up of young artists, about 2,000 between 18 and 40 years old, united in a single movement. I am not interested in binding their art, but directing them towards markets and cultures that are more congenial to them. The presence of Marina and other few and selected figures already established in the art world also serves to accredit them at international museums and galleries ».

Returning to the «Abramovic affair», the recent and reserved inspection by some of the artist's assistants in a couple of spaces deemed suitable for a possible intervention by the performer - not necessarily linked to the May events - bodes well. Locations such as the Aula del Tempio in Mole and the imposing post-industrial spaces of the Ogrs are leaking; a "double" choice dictated by the opposite possibility of expression of the performer in a "vertical" sense, in the case of the Antonelli building, or "horizontal" in that of the former factory in Corso Castelfidardo. And there would also be some unusual and, why not, flattering requests: Abramovich would appreciate a meeting with Mayor Stefano Lo Russo.

In short, after the hangover from Eurovision and with the Book Fair now upon us, with its load of books and writers, Turin could become (at least for a day and without waiting for the traditional "Contemporary" in November) also the city of contemporary art: as long as Marina dissolves her reservations and decides to give the Turin stage a further moment of sharing and citizen pride.

#IROMEDIA New_Media Platform 28 Aug - 2 Sep 2022

La plateforme #IROMEDIA a été créée dans le but de présenter et d’interagir de manière systématique avec les artistes iraniens des nouveaux médias au plus haut niveau de l’art contemporain mondial. Cette opportunité contribue à l’identification, l’analyse, la collecte et la protection des productions des artistes iraniens sur la base d’un discours local par rapport aux événements/mouvements actuels des nouveaux médias dans le monde.

Depuis 2016, le groupe exécutif de #IROMEDIA a rassemblé une archive des projets d’artistes iraniens avec une approche #INTER-ACT en Iran et hors d’Iran sous la supervision de l’Institut #SAFPEM.

Ces projets ont pu enregistrer plus de 700 œuvres d’artistes iraniens dans leur groupe et la plupart de ces œuvres ont été présentées dans un processus national/international et ont reçu des prix notables. Au cours de la préparation de ces archives, qui se poursuit encore aujourd’hui, différentes approches artistiques sont librement prises en considération et sont soutenues pour être examinées, étudiées et comparées avec des cas globaux sur la base d’un équilibre des probabilités.

#IROMEDIA estime que la principale caractéristique des œuvres iraniennes de nouveaux médias, comme d’autres cas de cette tendance dans le monde, était et est une collection entrelacée de deux dimensions générales d’approches influencées (ou imitées) et locales. En effet, la dimension technologique et inhérente aux principes historiques théoriques relatifs à ce média/tendance contribue à la reconnaissance de deux approches générales sur le chemin de la collection d’œuvres.

Depuis 2020, en raison de la masse plus importante de communications et de pièces plus grandes des œuvres de la plate-forme et de leur reconnaissance par d’autres groupes de travail internationaux spécifiés, la possibilité de réaliser des macro-projets intégrés a été prévue pour cette plate-forme. L’objectif de la tenue de ces événements était de fournir des conditions appropriées pour l’interaction de la communauté des artistes iraniens avec des groupes spécifiques en ce qui concerne les médias modernes et la présence intégrée de leurs œuvres dans les événements internationaux. En conséquence, le groupe exécutif de la plateforme a décidé d’organiser des événements annuels appelés #IROMEDIA.

L’événement annuel #IROMEDIA a été défini comme une exposition partagée entre l’Iran (en tant que pays principal) et un pays invité et a tenté d’offrir directement au moins certaines parties des productions cruciales au public artistique iranien.

La première édition annuelle d’Iromedia est une exposition spéciale d’art vidéo et d’installation en participation avec la France et le festival international d’arts numériques #VIDEOFORMES de Clermont-Ferrand en tant qu’invité du premier événement annuel.

Lors de cet événement, 9 œuvres parmi celles sélectionnées par ce festival seront présentées. Toutes ces œuvres seront représentées sous la direction de @Gabriel_Soucheyre, directeur et fondateur du festival @VIDEOFORMES et commissaire invité de l’exposition.

#VIDEOFORMES Digital Art 28 Aug - 2 Sep 2022

Les artistes sélectionnés sont les suivants : #Agnes_Guillaume #Franseca_Fini #Isabelle_Arvers #Regina_Huebner #Christine_Maigne #Golnaz_Behrouznia

Dans l’autre partie de cette exposition, des œuvres vidéo d’artistes iraniens seront représentées. L’objectif est de créer un contexte visuel et interactif pour les artistes iraniens et le public. Le groupe de #IROMEDIA estime que la qualité des nouveaux médias iraniens atteint plus rapidement l’excellence et la croissance grâce à l’interaction culturelle intégrée et aux relations avec les pays influents dans cet art.

Les détenteurs et supporters de l’événement annuel #IROMEDIA en Iran sont :
SAFPEM_Institute, VIDEOFORMES, Dayhim Art Society, COLLECT Art Complex, Khaneh Mobile Iran, Honar.Andisheh.Novin, Shirazi_House, EXOARTLAB, Rischee 29 Art Gallery, Galleria Weber, FMICA Organizers, PIRARTIR24

Sconfinamento in Iran

Sconfinamento in Iran, I screened my videoperformance Sconfinamento, conceived and created during the first Italian sanitary lockdown, at the Dayhim House of Culture in Tehran, curated by the Iromedia platform in collaboration with Videoformes festival in Clermont-Ferrand.


#IROMEDIA

The specified #IROMEDIA platform was provided for the purpose of systematized introduction and interaction of the new media artists at the high level of the global contemporary arts. This opportunity makes contribution to identification, analysis, collection, and protection of the Iranian artists' productions on the basis of a local discourse with respect to the present new media events in world.


The first annual Iromedia is a special exhibition of video art and installation art in participation with France and the #VIDEOFORMES international digital arts festival as the guest of the first annual event.

In this event, 9 works of this festival's selected works will be shown. All of these works will be represented with directorship of @Gabriel_Soucheyre, Director and Founder of the @VIDEOFORMES festival and invited curator of the exhibition.

The selected artists are as follow:

AUTOGENESIS / Nikzad Arabshahi - Exhibition 2022

France / Netherlands / Iran
Chapelle de Beaurepaire, 45 Rue Eugène Gilbert, Clermont-Ferrand
Opening time:
Tuesday to Saturday from 1 pm to 7 pm
Sunday from 2 pm to 6 pm

The work:
After a series of studies on generative arts and artificial life systems, artist Nikzad Arabshahi had the idea to reconstruct the essence of his paintings as an artificial life ecosystem (Soft Alife) to give the visual elements/components a certain degree of autonomy, and certain control over its own production to grow, develop and perform as a group of autopoiesis agents in real-time through algorithmic computer renderings.

The outcome of this idea/self-reflection is turned into living computational algorithms and implemented into the coding platforms by the artist to allow him to develop an artificial synthetic ecosystem formed on creating probable Alife (Artificial Organisms). This project does not simulate living components digitally on the computer. Instead, it is an experience of the possibilities of generating visual art as a “living computation” beyond the chemical solution. Therefore, it is constructed for synthesizing generative art based on the collective data and determined protocols. These data were captured, collected, and re-engineered by the artist during his study on underlying mechanics of behavioral decisions through the art-making process. and filtered via the established evolutionary protocols that were created for the Autogenesis project. The outcomes of these protocols provide all the necessary computation for the challenges of existence to the software-based system. An Alife that can develop the painterly experiences by growing artificially, as a consequence of a continuation of living computations, evaluating, reviewing, reflecting, and reinterpreting with no need of the creator/artist’s presence to control.

The artist:
Nikzad Arabshahi was born in Tehran-Iran, He is a Den Haag (Netherlands)-based interdisciplinary artist, educated ArtScience at Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten (Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, The Netherlands). He has been actively working in the fields of fine art, generative art, and interdisciplinary art since 2003.

Nikzad concentrates on creating and developing immersive multimedia environments, visual installation, and audiovisual performances by designing custom-made tools and generating visuals based on algorithms and creative coding. Nikzad collaborates with creative professionals in the fields of creative industries, architecture, urban lighting, festival organization, performing arts, and theater show to grasp a deeper understanding of interdisciplinary arts.
