Talk with Jan Boelen, Alessandro Fonte, Silvia Susanna

Oct 20th 2018 | 4 pm

Motel Win-win / TAC Eindhoven

Dutch Design Week

Can cultural exchange be seen as a new currency? In an interactive talk, Silvia Susanna and Alessandro Fonte together with Jan Boelen will investigate several issues including the design as negotiation and the museum as an underused infrastructure. They will also reflect on the legacy of BIO50 in relation to BIO50}hotel and the research platform nanotourism. Alessandro and Silvia explored museum as a participatory platform with their exhibition hotel model BIO50}hotel that provided hospitality within the exhibition space in exchange for cultural contribution. The project was established at BIO50, the 24th Biennial of Design Ljubljana, curated by Jan Boelen.

SOUND SYSTEMS - WRO ON TOUR #16

VOX ELECTRONICA – FESTIVAL FOR ELECTROACOUSTIC MUSIC / LVIV

CENTER FOR URBAN HISTORY OF EAST CENTRAL EUROPE APR 20, 2018 / 7 PM

conceived and presented by: Agnieszka Kubicka-Dzieduszycka

artists: Hiroya Sakura, Alessandro Fonte, Mikhail Basov + Natalia Basova, Om Bori, Shota Yamauchi, Exchange of the Rat, Elena Artemenko, Sascha Pohflepp

The WRO on Tour #16 program entitled “Sound Systems” features video works in which music or sound serve as essential constitutional elements of the interplay with the visual layer, even if they remain silent and have to be imagined or discovered in the rhythmic structure of the spoken words. Formally, the sound aspect of the works making up the program results from different strategies – it is field-recorded and processed, composed and played on different instruments, synthesized, created algorithmically or in the unintentional acousmatic way.

review by Pietro Marino [italian only]

la gazzetta del mezzogiorno 21/07/16

“ (...) Un po’ fuori dal coro ammiccando con ironia all’eresia duchampiana, Alessandro Fonte trasforma una lamiera di crivello agricolo in grata di confessionale e lo innalza su una struttura di legno a dondolo. È come esaltare l’Imperfezione come meccanismo di scambio di sensi. Così dal percorso «rizomatico» (suggerisce Cipriani) della mostra finisce per emergere la confessione collettiva ed esitante di una condizione umana che oscilla «tra stupore e suggestione, meraviglia ed incomprensione».
