On Friday, June 13 at 7 PM, the Antonio Dalle Nogare Foundation is pleased to present a new series of screenings featuring video works from the private collection of Antonio Dalle Nogare. The works will be exhibited in the Black Box on the ground floor of the Foundation, a space dedicated to video art and experimentation.

During each inaugural evening, there will be a moment of in-depth discussion and interactive reading of the exhibited work, led by the Foundation’s artistic director, Eva Brioschi, in dialogue with the artist or art professionals.

The title of the series, It Takes Two, is an ironic reminder that the creation of a work of art requires not only the artist’s effort but also the participation of the viewer, who completes the creative process through perception. In the darkness of a video room, the artist-viewer relationship becomes even more intimate. Like a confessional of the mind, the gaze surrenders to the images, losing spatial and temporal references and welcoming the possibility of multisensory transmission and an unpredictable epiphany.

The first event of the series is dedicated to Marzia Migliora, artist who lives and works in Turin, and will showcase two videos created between 2001 and 2002: 59 Passi and Efi.

 

Marzia Migliora

Migliora (born in Alessandria, 1972) employs a wide range of media, including photography, video, sound, performance, installation, and drawing.

Recurring themes in her work include memory as a tool for investigating the present and analyzing labor dynamics, both individually and collectively. Over thirty years, she has explored the human dynamics leading to the capitalist paradoxes of industrial production as an extractive and divisive force within communities. Her work has consistently sought to reshape a more collective imagination, focusing on minorities and their demands while overturning social and political inconsistencies through diverse visual approaches that encourage active spectator participation. In more recent years, her works have embraced a multispecies perspective, incorporating animal and plant viewpoints to contribute to new and necessary visions in times of global complexity and evolving adaptive scenarios.

59 passi

2001

Single-channel video, color, voice (Italian), 2’ 46”.

In 59 passi (59 Steps), partly for fun, partly as a challenge, the artist, the protagonist of the video, puts herself to the test by trying to walk on her tiptoes for as long as possible on a sea of glass marbles. She counts her steps out loud and eventually achieves a record of 59, hence the title of the work. Choosing her body as a medium of self-exploration, the artist develops exercises of mental and physical resistance, coping with her limits in actions reminiscent of childhood games.

Efi

2002

Video, Single-channel video, color, sound, DVD, 3’.

The Efi video is set in the Bay of Augusta, near Siracusa in Sicily, among several shipwrecks. The long take is interspersed with brief shots of the artist cleaning the deck of the Efi ship. Her actions are a paradox, an exercise performed stubbornly in conditions of the utmost precariousness, emphasised by noises and sounds apparently coming from the sunken holds.
