Kud art stays

The artists that have been invited to Ptuj represent an extensive combination of various approaches
to live media performances. Claudio Roccheti (sound) and Manuel Frara/interno3 (video) are
developing a “set” that covers areas between the two extremes of the sonic and visual world. The
environment is taken over by the continuous, constant hum and noise that Roccheti creates. Frara
manipulates the sound with condenser microphones and translates it in real time into essential
images of landscapes, made up of pixels and geometric lines.
Riccardo Piovesan (sound) and Alessandro Sgarbi (video) are moving on parallel coordinates that
intersect when Piovesan's cold, surgical beat triggers a reinforcement of the visual spectrum in the
light visions of Alessandro Sgarbi. The overall result is extremely attractive and hypnotic movement,
in which the frequency of light is interrupted by moments of complete darkness.
Andrea Cazzagon combines theoretical reflection on the nature of new spaces for art with the ability
of improvisation, creating an eclectic and diverse production. His works and research therefore meet the ephemeral realm and feed on an elegant attitude towards punk, which gives the artist the
opportunity to toy with the context of his performance, taking advantage of that immaterial instance
of a work of art that has influenced art movements in the 20th century, starting with the Fluxus
movement. (Tommaso Zannini)
