Guido Acampa: Ramp
Camera con vista comes into being as an acknowledgment, a ‘look at’ more
than a ‘study of’, of Neapolitan artists who use video both as a preferred
medium and as one of the possible ways in which to elaborate reality in
aesthetic terms.
Extremely versatile and used variously for both contents and technique,
video today can no longer be considered an avant-garde art form, but the
natural evolution of traditional media. The development of digital as applied
to video has brought about remarkable changes over the past ten years, taking
material and supports to the necessary and evident frontiers between one
application and another. This point of view has, of course, influenced the
material which was selected, and includes work from artists already well
established on the national and international scene as well as those who are
now making a name for themselves.
Camera con vista has opted for the movie theatre method for this
exhibition, thus offering a concentrated view, a full immersion approach. The
exhibition’s title, borrowed from the famous James Ivory film, based on the
homonym novel by E.M.Forster, if on the one hand it alludes to the highly
imaginative potential of the screen, on the other hand it underlines PAN’s aim
of osmosis with the city by announcing the opening of a window to the outside:
a “room, or camera, with a technological view” which with witty voyeurism opens
onto the exhibit to take place inside the building.
The exhibit will be accompanied by a bilingual catalogue (English and
Italian) edited by Electa and featuring articles by Julia Draganovic, Artistic
Director of PAN, by Marina Vergiani, Chief Curator of the PAN Documentation
Centre and by the two curators, Adriana Rispoli and Eugenio Viola.
