P PANORAMICA*23 // BODIES MATTER
The curator’s selection shows the complexity of the representation of the body and the human through the reflections of twelve artists who investigate with heterogeneous languages the relationship between the physical body and the digital simulacrum, between re-mediation of vision and visual suggestions that reach the real data, raw and current.
The multiple themes covered reveal both the obsession of meta-bodies for the virtual world and the anxiety of bodies and the self to adapt to reality and the need to unfold in other forms to claim one’s status. If virtual bodies inhabit digital space and connect to a vision of another world, where thought becomes a flow of frequencies that deconstruct space and time in a reassuring suspension, bodies of flesh and blood must defend themselves and fight for their existence and visibility, and they need to deal with social limits and conventions, sometimes imagining changing their skin or living together and implementing strategies to assert themselves.
Within an introspective and visual loop, the viewer is invited to reflect on visible and invisible bodies, and finally, to get involved in a well-known projective psychological exercise.

24 25 26 May 2024, 10.00 am 10.00 pm non-stop
STUDIO O2, Via Mantova 33/b, Cremona
Opening: May 24th at 10.00 am – OPENING at 6.00 pm
Concept: Dino Ferruzzi and Susanna Ravelli
In collaboration with Paola Rago, Matteo Boccacci and Andrea Maffi of STUDIO O2, Cremona, VISUALCONTAINER, Milan, BRAC Bookshop, Florence, CIRCOLO ARCIPELAGO, Cremona.
Alongside the Cremona art week, the clearinghouse offers a space of hospitality and pleasant conviviality to artists, curators, and friends who intend to visit the city or simply meet up.
The clearinghouse exists only with the contribution of those who participate to make it a place of all, open and singular.
This place which opens in Cremona from 24 to 26 May in the STUDIO O2 Via Mantova 33/b, on the outskirts of the historic centre, intends to allow itself some time for “decompression”, dialogue and shared reflection, outside the exhibition circuit.
The video art curatorial project PANORAMICA*23 // BODIES MATTER, curated by Alessandra Arnò of VISUALCONTAINER, will be displayed during the three opening days.
Artist: Matteo Campulla, Silvia De Gennaro, Enzo Cillo, DEHORS/AUDELA, Carlo Galbiati, Massimiliano Marianni, Anouk Chambaz, Emma Scarafiotti, Sara Bonaventura, Gianni Barelli, Mariangela Bombardieri, Duccio Ricciardelli – Marco Bartolini.
PANORAMICA*23 is the collection by the national call of the most original and significant video artworks created in 2023. The selection intends to investigate the production of the territory and provide a current look at ongoing research, sharing it with the public through exhibitions and screenings on the national and international circuit and as a result of Italian videographic research.

MOSTRA DI APERTURA:
PANORAMICA*23 // BODIES MATTER: OVVERO DELLA SOSTANZA DEL CORPO

La selezione curatoriale mostra la complessità della rappresentazione del corpo e dell’umano attraverso le riflessioni di dodici artisti che indagano con linguaggi eterogenei il rapporto tra corpo fisico e simulacro digitale, tra ri-mediazione della visione e suggestioni visive che arrivano fino al dato reale, crudo e attuale.
I molteplici temi trattati svelano sia l’ossessione dei meta-corpi per il mondo virtuale e sia l’ansia dei corpi e del sé di adattarsi al reale e la necessità di dispiegarsi in altre forme per rivendicare il proprio status. Se i corpi virtuali abitano lo spazio digitale e si connettono ad una visione di mondo altro, dove il pensiero diventa un flusso di frequenze che decostruiscono lo spazio e il tempo in una rassicurante sospensione, i corpi di carne ed ossa devono difendersi e lottare per la propria esistenza e visibilità, e hanno bisogno di confrontarsi con i limiti e le convenzioni sociali, immaginando talvolta di cambiare pelle o di convivere e attuare strategie per autoaffermarsi.
All’interno di un loop introspettivo e visivo, lo spettatore è invitato a riflettere sui corpi visibili e invisibili, e infine, a lasciarsi coinvolgere in un noto esercizio psicologico proiettivo.
