MIRACLE/LACRIME – Evento all’Istituto svizzero

(dal sito dell’Istituto svizzero)

Istituto Svizzero is pleased to present MIRACLE/LACRIME in Villa Maraini’s rooms and garden. The culminating event of our residency programme Roma Calling (2018/2019) will feature workshops, installations, readings, and VR Experience.

This transdisciplinary event is related, but not limited to Sylvie Fleury’s work Miracle: a giant purple neon installed at the Villa in 2016, which has shined and thrilled the Roman public for three years, which leads us to unveil works of art and science.

The programme has been conceived by the 2018/2019 fellows: Oscar De Franco, Rahel Meier, Robin Meier, Lora Mure-Ravaud, Enrico Petracca, Christine Pönitz-Hunziker, Timothy Pönitz, Davide Spina, Laurence Wagner, Manon Wertenbroek, Ian Wooldridge, and Célia Zuber, in conversation with Barbara Casavecchia.

During the day—starting from the afternoon until late—performances, installations, readings, workshops for children and adults.

The evening will feature performances by Italian composer Caterina Barbieri and Dutch producer DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess in the garden of Villa Maraini.

Biographies

Caterina Barbieri is a Milan-based composer who explores themes related to machine intelligence and object oriented perception in sound through a focus on minimalism. Caterina explores the psycho-physical effects of repetition and pattern-based operations in music, by investigating the polyphonic and polyrhythmic potential of sequencers to draw severe, complex geometries in time and space.

Although DJ Marcelle has been collecting music longer than most of us have been alive, she still feels like The Netherlands’ sweetheart. She’s an artist with a mischievous, rule-bending and almost ironic approach to her DJing, producing and radio hosting – cut with her trademark wit yet supported by an unquestionable amount of skill. Well known for her three-turntable setup, DJ Marcelle makes compositions out of songs and symphonies out of mixes – colliding disparate genres, appropriated vocal snippets and warped soundscapes into a giant Frankenstein-like melting pot. Her performances are inventive, euphoric and above all powerful.” in Resident Advisor
