ARTIST STATEMENT: I’ve been always interested in aesthetic experience and how it works as a transformer of conscience. This was what led me to study Communication Studies and Philosophy. I began to take photos as a way for recording experienced sensations, to catch reality and leave it protected forever. It’s a nostalgic act. This melancholy of the time, such as becoming without detention, is reflected in all my work.†

Landscape, understood as an indissoluble part of what we are, is essential in all my work. Reinterpretation of nature in a global and hyper technical present. Landscape interest me not only from an ecological reading, as the experience of inhabiting the universe, space whose annihilation is our own self-destruction, but also, and above all, the return to nature as a source of truth and beauty, as a political legitimation of the Human, as a simple and powerful revolution. This "escapism" is not a form of nihilism or denial but a form of frustration and dissatisfaction that asks for the recognition of our microcosm condition. Humility, I believe it is necessary in a world corrupted by the anthropocentrism. "Silence", necessary for the over-saturation of information to which we are exposed and that has made us go into a state of shock, a state of empty indifference.

Landscape is an element that we dispossess but men want to dominate it. Longing for open spaces to re-establish continuity with nature. Landscapes in which nature and men are confronted, but where, at the same time, an ecstatic reaction occurs between them. Between man and nature there is a metaphysical tension. We live in an anthropocentric world. Men think world was made for them and that is the reason we can do whatever we want.†But we are just part of it. We're only more nature in relation to nature. And we must respect and even obey its laws. But as the man is believed the owner of the world, he is dedicated to reform, to break it and destroy it... An engineering of the planet. I’m really interested about this. I thing we must be conscious of our microcosm condition. So that’s why I like to give a kind of magical powers to Landscape, a Landscape in which man becomes insignificant.

At the same time I’m interested in “reveal” the secrets of life… The secrets of this powerful nature. So, I try to investigate these secrets through observation, and in a deeper level, through contemplation. In this way my images seek to know what is not mine, what is outside, the objective reality, but filtered through my consciousness. So they are very subjective images, sometimes near the abstraction.

There is a deep personal desire to improve the immediate present to alleviate a characteristic material dissatisfaction. Here, individual feelings become universal. In my work there is no experimentation, but experience. They are images captured in moments of visual release, a kind of exaltation of desire. My work does not seek to expose the problems in the universe. It doesn't intend to be science; it prefers to accept the unusual and the unknown, intensifying the individual effort. Poetic-scientific seizure of the world, use of a "sensible reason". Search the "Poetic Image" understood "sudden highlight of the psyche " (Gaston Bachelard). For this, I’m not interested in doing perfect images; in fact I like the “error”. Because they are more feelings and expressions than try to show world as it is, but as it is feel. My photography is halfway through documentary, fantastic and experimentation. I photograph reality to make it to go beyond reality but through itself, without tricks or interventions. Universe of dreams fascinate me because they are not censured by reality. This is why I like to investigate my subconscious and liberate it when I take pictures. It's about creating images from “dreams” and dreams from images. I create magic landscapes where optical laws have changed.

My pictures have a pictorial aesthetic to emphasize the idea of landscape built through the gaze. The camera works as a brush that paints life but without its triviality. A way of seeing not saturated, and highly subjective, so emotionally distanced that borders the impersonal. Remoteness, with the intention of blur, flees the sharpness to bring me closer to elementary forms.†

Project for NYBA: "Nothing happened"Who was drowsy awakes, others exhaust their time; who was elsewhere is elsewhere even when is coming back, and the cycle ends. The wheel turns: those who wanted to escape this simple motion have invented complex levers and mechanisms, mysterious machinations to exploit the strengths of others, dreaming the perpetual motion, in the inertness, as parasites. Living by the others' soul does not preserve one's own, and to elude the logic of entropy is a fruit of the illusion; to think about procrastination means not to live, to freeze, to deny what Atropo provided and let it to decay closed into a drawer; it is to proclaim one's own misfortune; it is the mournful crying of the coward. The video "nothing happened" is the narration that completes the homonymous series of sculptures initiated in 2003 and realized with broken and recomposed chalices or glasses. The chalice is metaphor of abundance, of life, of union in love, but also of inheritance to be divided, of loot, of easy opportunities and of improvident abuse. The chalices that break falling from the hands are the end of the substance, the end of the party, the end of the opportunities after the last drop has been drunk from that cup which represents the impoverishment of oneself and the others. The wheel turns, the times are changing, but this is only a cycle that recurs. Who was drowsy awakes: since a long time we assist to the prodromes of the transition from the wild era of the intelligence to the intelligence of the wild era. It is coming the end of an epoch of artificiality, of sophistication and mystification, of pollution and degradation, of wounds that for avidity have been kept open with any stratagem; wounds that want to close again, even preserving the scars as evidences of what it has been. The meaning of the repairing: desperate attempt of unwillingness to look at reality, illusion that nothing could change, that the winning game is not over, even in the Elysium. At the end, there is no trace of the Self, but just the vacuity into the useless memorabilia of the extorted fate. 









MARCH SESSION Beorchia Claudio

Claudio Beorchia



Born in 1979 in Vercelli, he lives and works between Treviso and Milan. He has studied
Design and Visual Arts at Iuav University in Venice and New Media Art at Accademia
di Brera in Milan. A multidisciplinary artist with a conceptual background, he uses various
media and material in his works, in a constant search for the highest communicative
effectiveness as well as the lightest compositional synthesis


Project for NYBA: "State of Emergency"  
Europe is being pervaded by a climate of general emergency: the emergency resulting from the economic crisis, which has made us discover to be temporary workers and poor all of a sudden; the geopolitical emergency, with terrorism, fundamentalisms and strained relations between countries, which is making us feel more insecure and suspicious; the environmental emergency, with more and more frequent disasters (more or less natural), famines and global warming, which make us feel weak and powerless. This is not just a moment in time, a short period anticipating a new boom. We are experiencing a transition where the key words of the last few years – development and security – are being replaced by the concepts of “negative growth and uncertainty”. With my project, I would like to give an aesthetic form to this general transition, to affirm it straightly and openly in cities and squares, in order to be aware of, ready to and not (too) afraid of this condition.
To this purpose, I would like to reflect on a material I consider to be extremely evocative and emblematic: the emergency thermal blanket, i.e. the silver and gold reflective shelter given as a first-aid device to people in difficulties, e.g. landing immigrants, accident victims, shocked people, or those who are under extreme climate conditions. I have been struck by this material, where the functional silver and gold films end up giving a noble, precious, conspicuous and shining feature to both the object and the wearer. I would like to have the opportunity to work with this material, by turning it into flags, banners, cloaks, cloths, etc. to be installed in the urban environment, on the windows of buildings, along the streets and organizing little parades and public events which involve people. I have already started to make some simulations, some trial objects, using thermal blankets: cloths, banners, flags, cloaks, kites, etc. but what matters to me is being able to bring them to a public dimension, to a urban environment, to an environmental scale which make the whole city and its inhabitants wonder. I would like to cover the façades of a building with golden clothes, to hoist these shining flags on public poles, to organize little parades and happenings with people marching wearing golden cloaks. All this in order to declare the “state of emergency” which is setting in and metaphorically urge people to get ready for and awaken to it, while exorcizing its effects.

ARTISTS STATEMENT

My main area of research is focused on cultural visual tropes and traditions.
The contingency of the artistic process and the potential of its multiple outcomes are core
concerns in my work. Using different methods of visual enquiry, from photography to art
books, from video to installation, my practice explores visual cliché, imaginary tropes and
tradition connected with specific cultural/societal context of production and reception
of visual knowledge. Positing itself as a reflection on specific visual topics and styles, my
work takes the form of a subtle and ironic reflection on Western visual system of communication,
on its complex relation with a long-standing tradition of image-related modes of
apprehension and on its multiple layers of meaning.
Most recently I started to focus on problems related to the contemporary loss of visual
points of reference and on the ambiguity of the photographic image, in connection to
Jacques Rancière’s “distribution of the sensible” theory and to Hito Steyerl’s analysis of the
“poor image”.
Being especially interested in practices that question the medium’s specificity, I actively
engage with problems of authorship, mimicry and re-appropriation. Exploring the long
standing visualizing necessity that characterizes our society, I enquiry the reliability of
photographic images, the level of trust and distrust related to them, the quests for wonder
and narrativization that plays an important role in the creation of visual discourse. I am
particularly keen in questioning the ambiguous status of current photographic practices,
trying to understand how such a condition can create new modes of apprehension and
new individual and collective awareness.

In 2012 came back once again in Paris Hip Hop as a guest artist and
also took part in two major exhibitions with some of the biggest names
in street art world organized by the Opera Gallery.


Bruno’s metholodgy is based on constantly developing and applying new
techniques to various artistic platforms. Despite his specialisation
in graphic design the artist fundamentally believes that art and
design should work together. He is equally happy working as a
designer, illustrator or art producer. Through exercising this
versatility he believes he can truly explore different methods of
expression and let his art evolve through diverse and varied mediums.”

Eleonora Cumer was  born in Bolzano in 1956 and still resides in the town. She specialises in artistic books, installations with books and illustrations.

She has also taken part in numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad, amongst which: Biennale di illustrazione di Zagabria (2008), Premio Stupor Sensibile (2008) and Segnalazione di Merito (2011) at the international competition “Libri Mai Visti” , “Le immagini della fantasia” (participating every year since  2005), recognition at the international competition ’Fabbricanti di libri di Sannicola’ (2009 e 2010), Biennale del libro d’Artista di Cassino (2009), Biennale del libro d’artista di Napoli (2010-2012), competition ‘Libri Fatti a Mano’ in Pieve Santo Stefano, Italy (recognition in 2009 and award ‘Libcomelibrarsi’ in 2010), “ARTBOOKS in Archivio” in occasion of Artelibro di Bologna (2010), participation at “Libro de artista y de la pequenas ediciones” in Barcellona (2010 e 2011), “Premios moving book” in Barcellona (2010), “Primer Encuentro International en Red de Libro de Artista, libro ilustrado y edition de Arte” di Madrid (2010), “Como pedro por mi casa – festival international de libros ilustrado n.5 and n. 6 in Barcellona (2011-12), " Libri dai libri" Schio ,Belgrado and Vicenza(palazzo Cordellina)(2011) , Artelibro Bologna (2011), selected for the award UFO FABRIK 2011.
Some of his works are in private collections and public institutions, such as the Central Library of Cantabria (Santander-E), the Museum of Fogazzaro (Schio), The Archive of Visual Communication and Artist Books (San Cataldo-CL) .

"I have been elaborating this style of book over the past 3 or 4 years. Part of the idea behind the elaboration is that turning over the pages or ceremoniously 'unrolling' the graphic concept adds a greater sense of curiosity and intensity to the small work of art that you find in your hands.
Touching, turning and rearranging the book gives a multitude of reading opportunities and it is as if one enters into the object itself. The tactile and the visual experiences come together to offer a new reading sensation in which the book becomes a sculptured handcraft and the craft gives rise to the book. As such the joys of art and reading compliment each other in a form of celebration.
The themes which are developed are both of a personal sentimental level and an evocation of current social dilemmas. The technique applied is that of stencil combined with printed recycled materials."


Eleonora Cumer, nasce nel 1956 a Bolzano dove tuttora vive.  Si occupa di libri d’artista, di installazioni con libri  e di illustrazione. Da parecchi anni tiene anche laboratori e workshop d’artista presso musei d’arte contemporanea ed enti vari, pubblica in Italia ed all’estero.

I suoi libri d'artista si trovano in collezioni private e presso enti pubblici, come la Biblioteca Centrale di Cantabria (Santander-E), il museo di Fogazzaro (Schio), L'Archivio di Comunicazione Visiva e Libri d'Artista ( San Cataldo-CL).

"E’ da alcuni anni che mi si sto confrontando con il libro. Trovo che sfogliare le pagine o srotolarle stimoli maggiormente la curiosità di vedere cosa contiene l’oggetto che si tiene fra le mani. La possibilità di toccarlo, di girarlo e rigirarlo, “leggerlo” da una parte e poi dalla parte opposta è come entrare nell’oggetto stesso. Si va a sommare così la percezione tattile con quella visiva. Il libro diventa scultura di carta, la scultura di carta diventa libro. Lavorare invece con la carta dei libri vecchi, quelli che si trovano nei mercatini o vicino ai bidoni dell’immondezza, è come lavorare su se stessi, riciclare e riciclarsi, nuovi modi di essere e di proporre, la fine ed un nuovo inizio.”
