2019
On the occasion of EDRA50 Brooklyn, held at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and devoted to the topic of “Sustainable Urban Environments: Research, Design and Planning for the Next 50 Years”, it was decided that a collateral program of sustainable art activities could widely enrich the conference impact and scope. Furthermore, it provided an interesting opportunity for conference attendees, mostly involved in the fields of research, education and planning, to discover projects or ideas that spring from creative practice and evaluate emerging trends such as the visual arts devoted to sustainability.
Conservare e restaurare l’effimero
2013
L’arte contemporanea, poiché spesso realizzata con materiale effimero, pone non pochi problemi dal punto di vista della conservazione e del restauro. Le tendenze artistiche del ’900 sono caratterizzate dalla sperimentazione di nuove tecniche, dall’utilizzo di materiali extra-artistici ed effimeri e dalla realizzazione di opere il cui deperimento è previsto dall’artista stesso. L'articolo approfondisce le questioni legate all'innovazione tecnologica, all'uso diffuso di media elettronici e all'avvento del digitale senza tralasciare le teorie del restauro dell’arte contemporanea.
Recent challenges to contemporary art databases. Digitisation Practices and Archive Development in Artist Estates
2021
Over the last decade, databases have appeared as the only solution for artist estates and collections seeking to categorise and disseminate their artworks and thereby enhance their position and reputation. Grounded in empirical work and scholarly research, this paper examines the archive digitisation practices at three high-ranking art organisations – Douglas Gordon’s studio, the Sigmar Polke Estate and the Julia Stoschek Collection – to show how the creation of databases has become central in conforming to best practices and providing valuable information to the art market. In revealing the mindset, requirements and conditions of such digitisation projects, this text offers a reflection on…

Video arte a Catania.
2014
L'articolo propone una riflessione sulla manifestazione, tenutasi nel 2014 a Catania presso lo spazio Ritmo, «Cinema D’essai», rassegna particolarmente interessante la cui protagonista assoluta è stata l’arte del video. Filo conduttore dei lavori in mostra, realizzati da artisti tanto giovani quanto apprezzati che dedicano parte della loro ricerca alla video arte, è non soltanto il medium ma anche la riflessione sul medium stesso.
Half-Masturbation or the Constant Stimulus of Video Art. Kidnapping the Viewer with Douglas Gordon’s 24 Hour Psycho
2016
Some people find it very annoying to visit a contemporary art show and to remain stuck in darkened rooms with videos running on monitors or projected against the walls. However, it is hard not to be drawn towards the passing frames and the audience inevitably tries to pick up the plot. Video art appears capable to bind the spectator compelling one in front of the screen, waiting to be amused or repelled. There appears to be some sort of irresistible attraction towards it, a sort of instinctive stimulus. How may an artist foster this natural lure creating attractive video pieces? Bruce Nauman for instance holds the viewer staring at videos as he bounces a ball against the wall or his balls w…
Digital Picklock for Video Art Exgesis: Reflections, Conditions and Possible Employment of Distant Viewing to Moving Image Datasets in Visual Arts Sc…
2021
With the advent of digital humanities new expectations and challenges are emerging for institutions harbouring video artworks, specifically in offering access and analytical tools to their archival collections. The paper argues for the possible employment of distant viewing to allow visual arts scholars an unprecedented take on video art, holding together both quantitative comparison and aesthetic considerations. In doing so, the paper addresses the peculiar conditions of video art that need proper consideration for a fruitful employment of distant viewing. Set on the background of the existing platforms for video-art consumption ���such as UBU Network, JSC Media Centre, and Daata Streaming…
