C’è un inganno nel crepuscolo 2
live installation, production Xing/Live Arts Week
C’è un inganno nel crepuscolo 2 is the new Gelateria Sogni di Ghiaccio’s production designed for Live Arts Week. Born from the collaboration of a group of artists and curators active between Bologna and Milan, the project takes the shape of a place inhabited by abnormal and dialoguing figures, a sculptural group of talking heads immersed in a sound environment, “… between light and dark, when the artichoke flowers light up and the perforated sports jackets shine with their own light, darker and sticky in the sweaty spots, Geb and Nut are copulating. One hears a voice, a hermaphrodite hiss”. The authors operate “a twist of identity generating a static film, a narration between the dead and the living, the result of an exploration in the elephant graveyard. A dawn in the sunset. Humans move tons in an attempt to desaturate color and reach a starting point.”
Gelateria Sogni di Ghiaccio is an artist run space in Bologna created and directed by Filippo Marzocchi and Mattia Pajè. It is divided into two separate areas, in which one is dedicated to studio practice and artistic research, while the other one acts as a space for exhibitions, collaborations and discussions. The direction of the project is an extension of Marzocchi and Pajè individual artistic practice. Gelateria Sogni di Ghiaccio is a space dedicated to experimentation and freedom.
Mattia Pajè is a Bologna-based visual artist and art director, co-founder of Gelateria Sogni di Ghiaccio. Pajè’s work is characterized by the presence of multiple ambiguities. His artistic production is defined by the use of different materials and methods. The use of several approaches allows him to analyze the different possibilities of defining a work of art. Also through the organization of exhibitions and management of an exhibition space, his work focusses on conceptually defining art and its processes of production. His body of work is extensive and diversified including paintings, sculptures, installations, multimedia and performances. He presented his work through institutions, galleries and no-profit spaces such as: Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci, S.a.L.E. Docks, TRIPLA, Car DRDE, LOCALEDUE, MAMbo, Dolomiti Contemporanee, Mahler & LeWitt Studios, BoCS Art, Cripta 747, Istituto di cultura Italiano di Montevideo, EAC.
Filippo Marzocchi is a visual and sound artist, he lives and works in Bologna. His artistic practice is developed and deepened through the use of performance, sound, paintings and site specific projects. His work is focused on human perception, the structure of reality and how men perceive space and time in a continuous movement. Around this subject he creates visual and auditory effects with the aim to subvert and affect the viewer present reality. He presented his work through institutions, galleries and independent spaces such as: Zabludowicz Collection, London; PAV Parco Arte Vivente, Turin; Institute Italien de Culture de Paris, Paris; UCA, Canterbury; MAMbo, Bologna; LOCALEDUE, Bologna; Galeria Fran Reus, Palma de Mallorca; The Blank Contemporary Art, Bergamo; Cripta747, Torino; Progetto Borca, Dolomiti Contemporanee. In 2016 he co-created with Mattia Pajè the artist run space Gelateria Sogni di Ghiaccio in Bologna with whom he co-directs its program.
Daniele Guerrini (a.k.a. Heith) is an artist and musician based in Milan. For years he has been investigating the sound in many directions from rave music to folk, ambient and musique concrète. Working on soundtracks, sound installations, live performances and studio researches, over the years he has been around playing in clubs, festivals, galleries and doing researches in different areas of the world, recently: Saule/Berghain (Berlin), Almanac Projects (Turin/London), Forestlimit (Tokyo), Spazio Maiocchi (Milan). In 2018 he composed a digital re-interpretation of the Indonesian gamelan called Laguna. Back in the days, in 2016 he’s been invited to create and direct the sound for Belligerent Eyes, an art residency hosted by Fondazione Prada focused on new media, mass surveillance and cinema. In 2013 he founded Haunter Records and since then he collaborated with many artists including: Petit Singe, John T. Gast, Matthias Girardi, Zuli, Jesse Osborne-Lanthier, Ruben Patino. Beside this he has been part of Macao, a multidisciplinary art space in Milan, organizing events, concerts and exhibitions. He has recently curated a series of events at Volksbuehne in Berlin.
Andrea Magnani, visual artist and designer, based in Milan, works with installation, video, music and performance condensed into different research strands. His work unmasks the process of making sense, focusing upon the tension between and the overlapping of ordering and generating forces. In his installations, imaginative but usable objects trigger dense and layered stories in which the product’s design is corrupted, kneading consumer and fruition logics with a new form of witchcraft based on contemporary rituals, myths and symbols. Andrea has exhibited and performed in public and private spaces, included: PAV Parco Arte Vivente – Centro sperimentale d’arte contemporanea, Giorgio Galotti, Archivio di Stato (Turin), T293 (Rome), MAMbo Museum of Modern Art, Raum (Bologna), Marsèlleria (New York), Italienska Kulturinstitutet (Stockholm), Operativa (Rome), Stanford Housing (London), Can Serrat (Barcelona), Bevilacqua La Masa (Venice), Marsèlleria, O’, Viafarini, Crepaccio, Mars (Milan), Pad. Regionale 54° Vemice Art Biennale (Reggio Emilia), Palazzo esposizioni (Faenza), Swing (Benevento). In 2007 he co-founded Resign, a collective research design studio. In 2014 he founded the art label Siliqoon.
