'Less than at any time does a simple reproduction of reality tell us anything about reality. A photograph of the Krupp works or GEC yields almost nothing about these institutions. Therefore something has actually to be constructed, something artificial, something set up'.
Bertolt Brecht
Seconda fase della rassegna “Luce-Forma/Visioni Urbane”, ideata dall’ architetta Daniela Pastore e prodotta dal Laboratorio Architettura Contemporanea, ha come fulcro la mostra “Sensational Architecture”.
La mostra affronta il tema dell’architettura indagando panoramiche poliedriche di città internazionali in chiave onirica ed artificiale; nelle quali lo spazio delle architetture diventa una visione psichica in grado di rimodellare le città e la sua visione trasformandola in sensazionale ed eccentrica.
Il taglio di ricerca della mostra é complementare alla precedente mostra , organizzata per la preview della Festa dell’ Architettura , “CITIES – places visionaires” sempre a cura di Camilla Boemio .
Alla collettiva partecipano alcuni dei più famosi artisti internazionali che hanno dedicato la propria ricerca artistica al paesaggio industriale e le aree urbane, con accenni e scelte inedite: Mark Lewis , Spencer Tunick, Andrea Garuti e Isidro Ramirez.
Saranno esposti : video , video – installazioni e fotografie.
“Sensational Architecture” è la prima mostra italiana del fotografo Isidro Ramirez (U.K.), sarà esposta la serie “360°Degrees” composta da sette inediti lavori.
Di Andrea Garuti saranno esposte le serie: “Cardinal Points” e “Views .
Le moderne metropoli di tutto il mondo sono le protagoniste delle fotografie di Andrea Garuti (Firenze, 1965).
Del canadese Mark Lewis saranno esposti tre suoi lavori video che trattano il tema dell’ architettura: 122 Leadenhall Street (2007) , North Circular (2000) e Isosceles (2007).
Di Spencer Tunick (U.S.A.) verranno presentate, inedite per l’ Italia, le video – installazioni : “Newcastle Gateshead, England” BALTIC Center for Contemporary Art (realizzata il 17 Giugno – 2005) e “Düsseldorf, Germany” Museum Kunst Palast (realizzata il 6 Agosto del 2006).

The exhibition “SENSATIONAL ARCHITECTURE” (group show) curated to Camilla Boemio (eg: past exhibitions: “MNEMOSYNE – The Atlas of images” Centro Arti Visive Pescheria in collaboration with the 46° Festival of Cinema 2009 and “CITIES – places visionaries” preview of the Festa of Architecture of Rome 2009) is one of the show of the Festa of Architecture of Rome .
The exhibition is the most cool event off of the Festa of Architecture of Rome .
It will be in the Auditorium in June (opening the 16 June – period between the 16 June – 1 July) .
One of the artist of the exhibition is the famous Spencer Tunick .
For the “Sensational Architecture” exhibition there will be two video – installations :
“Newcastle Gateshead, England2 - BALTIC Center for Contemporary Art (July 17, 2005) and “Düsseldorf, Germany” - Museum Kunst Palast (August 6, 2006) .
American Artist Spencer Tunick has been documenting the live nude figure in public, with photography and video, since 1992. Since 1994, he has organized over 95 temporary site-related installations that encompass dozens, hundreds or thousands of volunteers, and his photographs are records of these events. The individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape. The bodies extend into and upon the landscape like a substance. These group masses, which do not underscore sexuality, become abstractions that challenge or reconfigure one's views of nudity and privacy. The work also refers to the complex issue of presenting art in permanent or temporary public spaces.
Spencer Tunick's body of work may come to help define or at least clarify the social, political and legal issues surrounding art in the public sphere. Since 1992, Tunick has been arrested 5 times while attempting to work outdoors in New York City. Soon after his Times Square arrest, as with the previous 4 arrests, all charges were dropped. Determined to create his work on the streets of New York, the artist filed a Federal Civil Rights Law Suit against the city to protect himself and his participants from future arrests. In May 2000, the Second US district court sided with Tunick, recognizing that his work was protected by the First Amendment of the US Constitution. On June 3 of the same year, in response to the city's final appeal made to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the court at large, the US Supreme Court also ruled in favor of Tunick by remanding the case back down, allowing the lower court decision to stand and the artist to freely organize his work on New York City streets.
His installations around the world have been created in spectacular locations, including Belgium, Australia, Canada, the United States and Brazil, gathering thousands of people at one time. His temporary site-specific installations have been commissioned by the XXV Biennial de Sao Paulo, Brazil (2002);Institut Cultura, Barcelona (2003); The Saatchi Gallery (2003);
MOCA Cleveland (2004) and the Vienna Kunsthalle (2008) among others.
This is the first Italian show of the artist Isidro Ramirez (U.K.) and the serie choice is : 360° Degrees .
This project started as a continuation to the work he had been doing since 2005.
In these last four years he had produced different series of work that are separate and distinctive but conceptually related.
These series have a common denominator – the limits of photographic representation. Photography is a media that limits vision and understanding.
For the last 10 years he had internationally exhibited and published photographic work in publications/galleries such as (NextLevel magazine, Exit magazine, Hotshoe magazine, Photofusion gallery, Zelda Cheatle Gallery London, Viewfinder Gallery and Hunchentoot Gallery Berlin).
In addition to photographic practice he also works as a photography lecturer at Havering College – running the third year of a Photography BA - and Kingston University and in other institutions such as The Photographers’ Gallery, Goldsmiths University and Tate Britain.
The others artists are Mark Lewis and Andrea Garuti .
Mark Lewis lives and works in London, England. He was born in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1958, and attended Harrow College of Art (London) and the Polytechnic of Central London. Starting out as a photographer, Mr. Lewis began making films in the mid-1990s. In 2009 Lewis represented Canada in the 53rd International Art Exhibitiobn, La Bienalle di Venezia. He has had numerous solo exhibitions, including: the Hamburger Kunstverein, Musée d’art Moderne (Luxembourg), BFI Southbank (London),the National Museum of Contemporary Art (Bucharest), International and National Projects - P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, (New York) and the Vancouver Art Gallery. Mark Lewis films have been shown at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2010 and Toronto International Film Festival in 2009. Lewis currently has a solo exhibition The Film Effect, Forum Expanded; at the Canadian Embassy in Berlin which is part of the International Film Festival Berlin 2010.
Group exhibitions include The American Effect at the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York) and the 3rdBerlin Biennale of Contemporary Art at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art.
