ICI Berlin: Adrift in Pasolini’s Rome

With Cathy Lee Crane and John David Rhodes. Moderated by Manuele GragnolatiPasolini and Crane both refer to practices of melding different styles and traditions in order to produce fresh and unusual aesthetic experiences. The discussion focused on the importance of physical locations and the specificity of geography in their work. Place was a heuristic for Pasolini's practice and politics as it is for Cathy Lee Crane.

It grounded the viewing of Crane’s film Pasolini’s Last Words on 26 September 2014 in the Pasolini retrospective at the Cinema Arsenal in the context of the Pasolini Roma exhibit at the Martin-Gropius-Bau.
