Just to remind you my exhibition if you are in Rome

Side By Side
Irmela Heimbacher is pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition
of Ali Assaf and Serafino Amato on the 19th of March at 6pm.
This
will be the first of a series of four exhibitions, entitled SideBy Side, in
which the works of two artists from different background and nationality will dialogue together.
Ali Assaf - Serafino Amato,
19 March - 4 April 2014
Myriam Laplante - Georgina Spengler,
11 - 29 april 2014
Peter Flaccus - Giuseppe Amalfi,
6 - 16 May 2014
William Pettit - Jochem Schoneveld,
20 - 30 may 2014
“they
know, they choose […] each other, to knit together their languages which
resonate in different forms, languages which become related.”
Serafino
Amato, who has coordinated the series of shows, writes:”...the world of cinema,
of art...” thats how they call them, as if they were separate worlds. Maybe in some cases they really are
worlds that turn inscrutably. In fact,
“the finance world” is such a case.
It conditions us while remaining like a comet ready to crash.
The
world of art...and I think of a planet with few inhabitants, orbiting in the
realm of the human for some, in reality for others, in the metaphysical for
others still. An artist in his
lifetime meets and recognizes few others like him and he remembers each one,
and if his memory is good he remembers their appearances and their
restlessness. This group of
persons, us, we recognize each other for what we are, whether we deal with the
human, the real, or travel on the abstract or metaphysical.
Myriam
L, Georgina S, Peter F, Jochem S, William P, Ali A, Serafino A, Giuseppe A,
inhabit territories where only a feeling of diaspora makes it possible to
create new existential plots, this being the only bitter possibility to meet
between artists...still.
Born
in 1950 in Bassora (Iraq), Ali Assaf
lives in Rome from 1974. He has
been showing his work from the end of the seventies in Europe, North Africa and
the Middle East. Artist and

as: identity, immigration, exile,
and
reflecting upon the role of the artist.
For
this occasion, Assaf will show for the first time in Rome “Narciso”, which was
shown at the Venice Biennial in 2011.
Born
in 1958, Serafino Amato developed in
the field of experimental theater in the eighties and then went on to dedicate
himself exclusively to photography.
He has shown in Italy and abroad.
Since 2000 he has also begun working with video. In 2008 he published with Lorenzo
Pavolini, “Ecatombe – i girini
della storia” and in 2012 “Fogli dei giorni – leafing through the days”. In side by Side he is presenting the
video: “Annibale e Amilcare il
disegno delle linee”... videotrailer for an unpublished manuscript.

documentary format and form views - Kate
1.What is the difference between video and film?
-Video is recording material for "availability and manipulability" that directly illuminates reality, while film is a series of images when projected produces movement.
2.What is the documentary format?
-Documentary format is a traditional format that documentaries follow in film studies.
3.What is the documentary style?
-Documentary style is the style that artists use within a documentary which tends to relay real-time events. "It focuses and isolates a piece of reality."
4.How can a documentary be considered video art?
-The artist chooses to manipulate the video with sound, splicing, and text but must keep to the authenticity of the overall video. "The artist must use pre-existing audiovisual material or they must be directly involved in the situation."

Bill Viola Ancient Of Days (1979)
Ancient of Days
1979-81, 12:21 min, color, sound
Ancient of Days is a remarkable series of "canons and fugues for video" that comprises Viola's most sophisticated structural and
metaphorical explorations of time. Mathematical notations of precise
time-code editing were applied to construct illustrations of temporal
symmetry, duality and transposition — time-based equivalents of musical
compositional principles such as counterpoint and serialism. Astonishing
temporal interventions — a 180-degree pan gazing downward on a New York
City street that progresses from day to night, an image of Mount
Rainier in which the foreground and background unfold in different time
planes — unfold as symbolic transformations of natural and urban
landscapes.

The onion
Marina Abramovic
The first shot is a close up of Abramovic looking upward and holding a large onion. Her fingernails are painted bright red, just like her lips. Slowly she brings the onion closer to her mouth, taking a large bite from it and beginning to chew. Her voice-over keeps repeating the following as she devours the onion: 'I'm tired of changing planes so often, waiting in the waiting rooms, bus stations, train stations, airports. I am tired of waiting for endless passport controls. Fast shopping in shopping malls. I am tired of more career decisions: museum and gallery openings, endless receptions, standing around with a glass of plain water, pretending that I am interested in conversation. I am tired of my migraine attacks. Lonely hotel room, room service, long any more.
I want to understand and see clearly what is behind all of us. I want not to want anymore.' As she is complaining, Abramovic is noticeably agitated by eating the raw onion. Her eyes are tearing up, her saliva is dripping out of her mouth as her lipstick is rubbed off and bits of onion layers stick to her face. Her chewing is slowing down, but she continues to take ferocious bites from the onion while the voice-over continues. In certain respects, 'The Onion' shows familiarities with early performances like 'Art must be Beautiful, Artists must be Beautiful', in which Abramovic is violently brushing her hair and face while reciting the title of the piece. As the early performances revolve around mental and physical limits of pain, 'The Onion' resumes Marina's dedication to idea of the inseparability of body and mind by challenging apparent limitations of physical stamina. The video is also part of the 16-channel installation 'Video Portrait Gallery' (Abramovic 1975-2002).
