Just to remind you my exhibition if you are in Rome


Press Release
Galleria Monty&Company
Via Madonna dei Monti, 69, 00184 Roma

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 organizer of cultural events, his work concentrates such contemporary problems as: identity, immigration, exile,

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.

4.How can a documentary be considered video art?
