The Darktown Cakewalk: Celebrated from the House of FAME is a thirteeen-hour performance that will take place at Chisenhale Gallery, London, on Saturday, the 10th of July, from 10am to 11pm. The artist and musician Linder, in collaboration with musician Stuart McCallum and fashion designer Richard Nicoll, created an epic invocation of glamour and fantastical pageantry in which witch trials and beauty queens, ragtime and Euro Pop merge to enfold the viewer in a secret history of prejudice and dissent. Best known for her photomontages, such as her artwork on the cover of the 1977 Buzzcocks single Orgasm Addict, over the last three decades Linder has consistently questioned roles of gender identity and commodification in society.

Torino – Crystallize by Andrea Nacciarriti

by mousse

June 25~2010

If, in the realm of physics, crystallization is a phase transition of the matter, from liquid to solid, in which the components dissolved in a solvent solidify, in the same way Andrea Nacciarriti’s exhibition at Galleria Franco Soffiantino tells the story of a transition from a liquid to a solid state. An inevitable transformation of the artist’s pure thought into something “else”, the result of a concerted mediation between the pawns of the same game.
The point of departure for the exhibition is the relationship between the reality of the gallery as a space conventionally used for art and the artist’s gesture. A relationship which becomes a clash at the same time and intends to highlight the limits and constraints within which the artistic creation is always and nonetheless relegated.

From June 24th to September 11th, Jerome Zodo gallery, Milan, will present a selection of artworks by three young artists: Terry Chatkupt, Tigran Khachatryan and Simon Senn. The videographic exhibition, entitled Video Review (73:34 min), is inspired on the continuative disposition of the cinematographic shows and proposes a series of the latest videos realized by the artists in three different show environments. The show experiments with the practices of the tiny multi-hall screening, by wondering about the twofold game holding the essence of the video as an artistic object, its fruition and the related consciousness of the flmic stream.
