Tamil Wordings For Wedding

interview with Alessandro Grimaldi


ended in these days of the exhibition at the Galleria Marconi Alessandro Grimaldi Anatomy of a Murder , which was inaugurated on January 14, 2007. "Anatomy of a Murder is a project in which they interact with their various artistic operations, from painting on canvas, photography, video, literature. The common denominator among the various courses of the exhibition is death. The starting point of the Snuff Movie is the first in history: the Kennedy murder filmed and broadcast live on TV around the world. Starting from the murder has proposed a road trip across America of the '60s with its myths, its symbols and its contradictions. "
This is the interview with Alessandro Grimaldi.


Anatomy of a Murder tells the American society of the early '60s, beginning with Kennedy's murder, as it has developed the project?
Initially I studied the Kennedy assassination, the Zapruder video and socio-political background of the period, because the topic interested me and I wanted to write a story. Soon, however, I realized that, by deepening the argument, came out of unexpected artistic influences which could lead to the conception of a more complex project (project of a murder) that encompasses both my story that a series of works inspired by Pop Art (a language that is very close to my way to work) through which to analyze the contemporary American sixties (the Cold War, the problem Cuba, Vietnam).

In the project have also involved Ivana Spinelli and Lucilius Santoni, what is their collaboration?
I thought to involve Ivana Spinelli asking her to put her "Pink - paw" in a re - interpretation of the Zapruder video, because I think it is a very important document and extremely significant for the project, while Lucilius Santoni I asked for a trial application on my literary work.

Have you defined the Kennedy video of the murder: "the first snuff movie in history", what is a snuff?
Actually the correct term to define the Kennedy murder video is real movie, which differs from the snuff to the fact that in the first event (death) would have happened anyway even without the accident and presence of the half while shooting in the second case, the event has been generated and is not occurred naturally.
The real movies, even if they contain scenes of violence and death, are not snuff: the occasional 'event creates the difference. The tourist who takes a road accident could not predict the event, but is limited only to film the events. Even the scenes of the Asian tsunami, to traffic accidents provided on Real TV, the videos are occasional, they are not planned or caused by the director. The snuff movies, however, are no videos in which the director, or his, causing the criminal event, the planning and shooting with the camera in all its facets. Victims may be unaware or aware it does not matter all that counts is the macabre effect that occurs.
The term snuff, then, indicates those movies with a sexual (we can also say hardcore) in which the protagonists, mostly women, were tortured and killed.

Internet is becoming a real gold mine for those looking Snuff, these days is the video of the hanging of Saddam, what role had the network and the media in this your work? The
snuff movies (assuming they ever existed ... and I can assure you that the topic is complex pier) are distributed through channels "undergorund", usually by hand, on non-detectable, seen that this is evidence of murder (pre-market cameras, were shot on 8mm film, so as to pass unnoticed in the eyes of development laboratories and were available only in certain environments linked to organized crime). Internet and the dissemination of peer to peer systems (such as Emule, WinMX, etc..) Certainly provides a great spread of illegal material, but the existence of snuff is still to be demonstrated (for luck). Of course, if you try to type the keyword "snuff movies" on Google, you get to answer a list of 6,110,000 results well (196,000 if you click on the "Page in Italian), all buffaloes commercial bait and switch, networking for porn sites to attract a fee.

The use of snuff raises several ethical questions, what do you think is the importance of morality in art?
The snuff (in the strict sense of the word) is not art, but only a macabre product to a category of persons users (for the complexity of the reference to "Psychopathology of those users" or Mark Pingitore Maria Zurzolo).
could be "art" the controversial film "Snuff" (which took its name from gender) of
1974 of Michael and Roberta Findlay (of questionable taste) and the World Movie Movie Cannibal and emerged as a documentary (chilling), where, to use the same words Jacopetti, " g them events occur independently of the camera, which simply record .
To be honest I can not draw a dividing line beyond which the arts should not go (I think Cattelan and the dummy hanged three of her speech). What may be immoral for me to others may not, but if the border of the snuff is quite clear: torture and murder are not art!

Interview with Bert Feddema

Bert Feddema is a Dutch artist, who opened his personal October 29th at Marconi Gallery, the exhibition was presented in collaboration with Galerie De Meerse, of Hoofddorp in the Netherlands. "Feddema offers art with a strong social impact, which is expressed in a profound criticism of the present consumer society, which created a type of development and quite hysterical. The technology, which is marketed by the multinationals, is quickly replaced by more sophisticated products, which, with the pounding action of the media, come to seem indispensable. "
To continue this discussion HTBT Feddema disappears behind the initials," name of a fictional corporation, an abbreviation sounding commercial steals the identity of the artist, as multinationals with their power to rob us of the freedom of self-determination ".
Speaking on the occasion of the exhibition Feddema explained how he was born and has developed the project.

as Mr Feddema HTBT born?
I was driving through Paris at night and I was sitting beside the driver. I seen all the advertisements and bright lights of the big companies. At that time I was looking for a model in which to place everything that interests me. And so it struck me: all the interests I have (technology, science and architecture) are merged into a multinational.

What is "brain Technologies High Tech"?
High Tech Brain Technologies (HTBT) is a multinational unreal that specializes in research and development of new technologies and products on a scientific level. In reality there is only HTBT for its products and the image you just created. These concrete products are based on a revolutionary technology. This new technology stems from the information-transmission technique used in the Arts, the manipulation of light by specific combinations of shapes and colors. HTBT this technique has improved technology and transformed it into "The surreal art of technology".

His experience is involved in research and development of artistic unreal technologies and products. What should I put in the market?
HTBT working on a high-level research and develops products and technologies with high standard. These products have the task of improving and extending human skills and even add new features to complete the human race.

Who is interested in technologies and products HTBT?
there a law in nature: survival of the fittest! This law also applies to the online environment. HTBT is a guide for people in this process.

What does a project like his, where the art is its own business and know-how?
The expectations are very high, because we have the patent for the technology of Art Unreal and we are number one for research and development.

Considering his experience, he believes that it is possible to speak of processes of "obsolescence" is also art?
As for the technology, once the product is out of the market, that process has already begun to overcome. This also applies to the artistic process, the same artists are always a process, because they want to always improve. You can see an artist like a multinational.

With the technology developed by HTBT, you can do is work in interior spaces or open, but how?
The creation of an idea / concept is an intervention in a conceptual space opened as the shapes. In this way both the interior will be clearly defined.
HTBT is a concept although it has been in a three-dimensional world (environment). HTBT in this world exists only through its products and images that you created. In this way HTBT manifests itself in the real world than in the irrational (unreal).

What do you think when he is naked?
Like me, grows increasingly HTBT

Acacia Seed As Insecticide

Interview with Shepherd

On September 24 the gallery was inaugurated the exhibition of Pastorello, Sardinian artist offering a seemingly simple painting, but that has really detailed analysis, which stems from a complex poetic, elegant and meticulous work, which , looking to the great masters of the past, enters strongly in the contemporary world.
This is the interview that I made for the occasion.

on painting everything has been said by now, she's dead, is resurrected, transformed, reinvented etc. What is your relationship with it?
painting is a ghost, an 'image without a body. For me the most is the substance that resembles that of dreams, which has the force of a living entity, conscious and gives power to the imaginary man. Mine is a passion but I am interested in art, painting, like the artist, it remains half.

The time and place as much importance does your work?
What has for all living beings and things that exist in this space-time deformation. I fascinated by the stillness, the stillness in the "everything is finished."

You said that an artist who is interested in itself produces nothing, what's the point of departure in your work?
No, it can produce great things, perhaps, but an artist I'm interested more in what belongs to humanity as for his newspaper. I would add that some of the newspaper is very interesting. When the "ideas" of men meet they can multiply their imaginative potential. We are others, and even each other.

Would U help from one of your super heroes? I have already
rescue more than once.

what should we expect for the exhibition at the Galleria Marconi? Nothing

What do you think when you find yourself naked?
do not know.

How To Shave With Wax Stripes

Who, what, how, where, when, why?

Party here a project I'm thinking for some time. In September 2006 I started to do some short interviews with the artists exhibiting at the Galleria Marconi di Cupra Marittima, my idea was to collect them in a blog, that could also become a meeting point and comparison for all friends of the gallery around the world, and so here it comes "Naked as worms." One of my small contribution to a research project that artistic , in more than 10 years of the gallery, has focused on promotion of art made especially by young people, working to bring an innovative and aesthetically significant. Another challenge of the tunnel was (and is) to succeed in this ambitious project from a small town in the Marche. But the majority found that Marconi Gallery has created over the years has been mainly on the human level, it has become the benchmark of people here come together, discuss and have become friends, that will involve other friends, kids (more or less young ), that between a chat, a cigarette (strictly out of the door even at -40) and a spumantino, have begun to take an interest in contemporary art. At the center of this microcosm is a person who had the strength to be born and grow ... and above all this to bear.

Thanks Uncle Frank.


PS I realize that I have not answered all five questions of the title, I now believe that the first answer to this short interview (which sadly I do it myself).

Who? This is easy, I would say that ... I know, Dario Ciferri, a journalist in Panda

What? Speaking of art, and beyond, mainly through interviews with artists, but I do not put limits to providence

How? The interviews are based on relatively simple questions, so that the artists' work can be explained clearly without trivializing (ambitious outcome uncertain).

Where? Well! This is a blog (I think it is written above), the name "Naked as worms" is clearly inspired by (say a little 'plagiarized) from the project name that is common to all the exhibitions at Gallery Marconi in 2006/07.

When? Interviews one for each exhibition. Then he saw that a blog can not grow by making a post once a month, will also indicate other initiatives that will hold interesting.

Why? Already why? The answer I do not have it. But I believe that having a text in which an artist explaining his own work is more opportunity for the viewer to understand and appreciate. This worked for me ...
