Italian artist Alice Guareschi visiting from Milan joins us at Microscope Gallery to present a program of her early short video work. The five personal works in \u201ccircular distances intersecting\u201d together involve situations of travel and invoke thoughts about distance and the space and time in between. More literal interpretations include a boat and motor cycle ride in Cambodia and a plane flight over the alps. Other works contemplate dream travel and follow the artist Richard Nonas imagining the future installation of an exhibition of his work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guareschi is an artist working primarily with multiple medium and living in Milan.<\/span><\/p>\n

PROGRAM:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

untitled (fall)<\/strong>, 2005<\/span>
\n miniDV, colour, 14 min<\/em><\/span>
\n The shooting of a take off over the alps, interrupted by black and white television interferences from abroad, reveals the sudden ovelapping of a here and a there during the flight, and becomes cause for reflection about the emotional dynamics of leaving and being back in a place.<\/span><\/p>\n

racconto d\u2019inverno #2. sleepwalking \/ winter\u2019s tale #2. sleepwalking<\/strong>\u00a0, 2004<\/span>
\n video8, colour, 8 min<\/span>
\n A plain covered in fog, thoughts like birds flying towards a city at dawn, where a girl is dreaming. \u201cYou\u2019re certainly sleeping\u201d. A circular structure, which a music piece by Electrelane breaks into, turning into red the tranquility of sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

winter\u2019s tale #3. on the possibility of the look in proportion to the speed of movement<\/strong>, 2005<\/span>
\n video8, colour, 14 min<\/em><\/span>
\n Cambodia, January 2005. A boat trip down the Sangker river as far as the Tonle\u2019 Seap lake, and in parallel, a motorbike journey from Phnom Penh to the island that lies at the intersection of the two rivers that cross the city, passing over the Japanese bridge, to the ends of the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

local time at destination (tower)<\/strong>, 2005<\/span>
\n video8, colour, 9 min<\/em><\/span>
\n On a winter\u2019s night, a fixed shot of the Eiffel tower appearing and disappearing in the fog, until a music breaks the silence and summons up another moment, another story.<\/span><\/p>\n

behind words. artist richard nonas measuring the space of an idea<\/strong>, 2003<\/span>
\n video8, colour, 21min<\/em><\/span>
\n In July 2003, the American artist Richard Nonas is invited to create a site-specific installation in the hall of the Fondazione Ratti in Como. The video shows one of those very private, secret moments that are involved in the creation of a work of art, when the space is still empty, but for the artist who crosses it, it is already a dense universe marked by infinite paths.<\/span><\/p>\n

total running time 66 minutes<\/em><\/span>
