COMMUNITIES & TERRITORIES (Beirut, November/December ’07)
On Public Sphere & Public Library
The cultural agency aMAZElab (Milano), in collaboration with Heinrich
Boll Foundation, Middle East Office (Beirut), propose the international
seminar and workshop “Community and Territory”. Dedicated to the
current cultural, social and geo-political aspects of the city, the
project means to investigate contemporary Beirut life, a city highly
representative of the complexity of the Lebanese mosaic.
From 16th November to 15th December.
ISOLA TALKS & WALKS (Milan, December ‘07)
Experiencing the city: walks, meetings, exchanges
A serie of meetings dedicated to the reading of the city:
Experimental Confines / Productive Networks / Sound Islands / Creative
Networks
For this occasion aMAZElab presented a special artist’s project, a
light installation created for the event by the artist Simone Berti.
The work is a transparent sculpture which symbolises a galaxy
suspended in the sky above the Isola neighbourhood.
The public will thus find themselves faced with a work poised between
the absurd and the everyday, between the real and the imaginary.
From 16th December to 16th January
NEXT:
BILL OWENS. Suburbia Revisited (Bristol, February/March ‘08)
Photographer Bill Owens is highly influential for an entire generation
of American photographers in the lineage of social documentary.
He gained acclaim for his series of black & white photographs entitled
“Suburbia”, documenting the birth of newly-built suburban
neighbourhoods in California during the early 70s. The exhibition, set
up at Arnolfini in Bristol, collects the master works (1967 – 2007) of
40 years of the photographer’s activity. The exhibition will be
accompanied by the first monography (Damiani Editore), curated by
Claudia Zanfi.
From 2nd February 2008 to 30th March 2008
We would like to take this opportunity to send our best wishes for a
Merry Xmas.
