Sezione curata da Gianfranco Valleriani
Le tendenze della video arte internazionale nel più grande spazio fieristico europeo della video arte ad ArtRooms Roma 2018.

La Video arte approda a Roma all’interno della prima edizione della fiera di arte ArtRooms, che si terrà a Roma dal 2 al 4 marzo, presso l’hotel The Church Palace, in via Aurelia 481.

14 video artisti selezionati da una giuria di esperti e 6 artisti “ospiti” invitati direttamente vanno a disegnare uno scenario particolarmente significativo delle tendenze della video arte a livello mondiale.

Diversi sono i temi trattati, come diversi sono gli approcci narrativi, le tecnologie di lavorazione, l’utilizzo delle sonorità e delle musiche.

Gli artisti selezionati provengono dall’Italia, dall’Inghilterra, Israele, Germania, Stati Uniti, Bulgaria e Brasile, a cui si aggiungono gli artisti ospiti che provengono dall’Iran, da Taiwan, dalla Serbia, dall’Angola e dall’Italia.

“Il quadro che si compone – sottolinea il curatore della sezione Gianfranco Valleriani, giornalista e regista – è davvero suggestivo dal punto di vista della narrazione visiva, sia sul piano del linguaggio espressivo e delle tecniche usate – nella ripresa e nella fotografia, nell’uso di applicazioni avanzate di montaggio, nelle tecniche grafiche di collage e nei programmi animazione, nell’uso di filtri e di alterazioni del colore – sia dal punto di vista delle tematiche trattate, dall’ispirazione più intima a quella più sociale”.

Un collage di rimandi onirici, che stimola la memoria al ricordo, alla storia, avvicinando indizi che ricostruiscono identità personali e collettive; che fondono passato e futuro.
Tra i vari temi, è il corpo una delle cerniere di racconto di questa edizione; un corpo che è bellezza, gioia, sofferenza; il corpo della poesia, della creazione; corpo che si fa delizioso e atroce al tempo stesso; corpo che rimane superfice ma si fa anche anima.

Una scelta curatoriale, quella fatta da ArtRooms Roma, di avvicinare i lavori dei giovani artisti a quelli di grandi personalità della video arte – che hanno esposto nei più grandi musei del mondo, dal Moma di New York alla Tate Modern di Londra, dal Taipei Fine Art Museum al Maxxi di Roma, alla Biennale di Venezia etc. – che incastra armoniosamente la freschezza delle espressioni più giovani con quelle più mature e consolidate.

“Siamo estremamente privilegiati nel poter ospitare la Video Arte in una struttura come l’Auditorium Cinema Bachelet qui al The Church Palace – ci dice Cristina Cellini Antonini, direttrice e fondatrice della Fiera – l’eccellenza della sala, dotata dei piu’ sofisticati servizi multimediali e dolby surround, ci permettera’ di offrire agli spettatori un programma degno delle piu’ prestigiose anteprime cinematografiche”.

Gianluca Marziani, Curator

Gianluca Marziani has been dealing with Contemporary Art since the early nineties, following an approach that develops connections with other creative languages. An autograph model that manages the complex supply chain (conception, organization, production, exhibition, distribution…) in continuous links between theoretical approach and practical development. He was one of the first European curators to define advanced financing projects with enterprises and companies. In 1998 he published the first theoretical book about the links between the framework and the new technologies entitled NQC and published by Castelvecchi Editore. With the same Publisher he also published in 2002 MELTING POP, the first theoretical book about the links between visual art and other creative languages (fashion, design, cinema, magazines, record covers, movie titles… ). His seven years experience as Artistic Director of the most important museum in Umbria, Italy, marks him in history in the resources management (human, cultural, territorial) with verifiable results and a high quality of the overall proposal, demonstrating how the logic of museum assistance and rain financing is now old fashion. He was the Editor of six editions of the Terna Prize. He has also curated the Celeste Prize for six editions.
From the very beginning he investigates undervalued or submerged artists (of these years the discovery of the artistic side of a character like Remo Remotti), as well as following with frequent attention the underground cultures, the emerging currents, the generational dynamics.
Marziani is a professional journalist since 1996 with collaborations in Italy and abroad. Since May 2010 he is the Artistic Director of PALAZZO COLLICOLA ARTI VISIVE – Spoleto.

External Curator for the 2011 Venice Biennale of the Umbria Pavilion. Consultant for the Venice Biennale 2011 of the project dedicated to Italian Cultural Institutes in the world. In 2016 he held a cycle of contemporary art lessons at the GNAM in Rome. He was nominated Curator of the year 2010 by the jury presiding over the Ca ‘Zenobio Prize. He won the Magna Grecia Prize (2005) and an A.B.O. d’Argento (2006). He held the Visual Arts course at the IED in Rome for a few years. He was a Guest Contributor for the blog Dissonanze, an Italian festival of electronic music and culture. In 2000 he created the cultural project that launched the NEW MINI in the world. The title of the project, which arrived in Rome at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, was DALLA MINI AL MINI. He has been a cultural consultant for several brands such as Bmw, Mini, Mercedes, American Express, Merck, Helsinn … one of the first curators who, since the nineties, has understood the value of the connections between business and culture. In 2003 he made “Young Italian Genome”in New York, the first exhibition of the decade on young Italian art in the American territory. In 2009 he made “Connectivity” at the Chelsea Art Museum in New York, confirming his strong focus on young Italian art. In 2010 in Shanghai, within Casa Italia and in the Supec Museum, he was among the Italian curators involved in the “Expo Shanghai” project. In Milan, at the Pack gallery, he organized an exchange event involving three international galleries: Analix in Geneva, Mizuma in Tokyo and Galeria des Angels in Barcelona. In 2008 he created the largest Italian street art exhibition entitled SCALA MERCALLI, a project (accompanied by a book with the same title) that involved the entire exhibition space of the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome for five months. In 2010 he realized in Spoleto the first major Italian exhibition on POP SURREALISM, signing the first Italian book on this international pictorial movement. He was the first curator to organize events and exhibitions at the MAXXI in Rome: together with the Terna Group, of which he was consultant for the award of the same name, he held press conferences (first and second editions and of the Prize), an event (Masbedo) and an exhibition (second edition) in the spaces designed by Zaha Hadid.
He has collaborated with some of the best Italian magazines in the sector (Flash Art, Art, Celestial Theme, Sign, Artel, Next …). He has also collaborated with Duel, Kult, Time Out Rome, ZU, Hot, Corriere della Sera Style. He has held columns with First (“Five Senses”), GQ (“Back to Back” together with Alessio Bertallot) and STYLE PICCOLI (a column on contemporary art told to parents and children, the column is still in progress).
