Fondazione Galleria Civica-Centro di Ricerca sulla Contemporaneità di Trento

Fondazione Galleria Civica di Trento and MART-Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto are proud to present the first solo show by Rosa Barba (b. 1972, Agrigento) at a public institution in Italy. This double exhibition, curated by Andrea Viliani and Chiara Parisi , was developed as a counterpoint to Barba's 2010 solo show at Centre International d'Art et du Paysage de l'Ile de Vassivière . After focusing on the subject of space, the artist turns her attention to the subject of time and the instrument used to store and invent it: the archive, describing how the latter shapes the institutional identity and activity of contemporary museums and how time can be both an objective dimension and imaginary experience. The archive is reinterpreted by Barba as an engine driving the imagination and as a source of new narratives, becoming an unusual hybrid—a "stage archive," a mechanical performance through which past and future are represented in the present time of the museum. The artist will transform unfinished or unproduced screenplays and film treatments by several Futurist artists into a "sculpture/theatricality/abstraction". In both exhibition venues, the installation merging film and sound assumes the outlines of a Futurist-inspired ballet mécanique , comprising texts, film, sculptural objects and audio. At MART , the artist works with the central space of the museum, establishing a nexus between the archival area in the basement and the exhibition rooms on the higher levels. The archives, conventionally relegated to the shadows, here take the spotlight. The idea of stratification, from the realms of both archeology and science-fiction, is conveyed through the vertical structure of the exhibition. The historical documents develop their unrealized potential, two and three-dimensional objects translate the original projects entrusted to historical documents into a "film that doesn't exist." Among the other works (Theory in Order to Shed Light, 2011; No Titles, 2011), a massive circular sculpture (Stage Archive, 2011) re-evokes the shape of the large chandelier designed by Rationalist architect Adalberto Libera for the central hall of the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol Regional Council building in Trento. Inside the sculpture, a strip of motion picture film rolls as if it were in a projector or on the cutting desk. Since it is not printed, all it produces is the sound of its futile winding.

An Inverness-shire Water Bull - LOCH NESS MONSTER

"In Inverness-shire there are many lovely lakes, and many an hour and day have I passed in fishing on some of these. There was one beautiful lake to which I used sometimes to take net and boat, as well as rod. It was a piece of water about four miles long, and one or two broad ; at one end were two sandy bays, forming regular semicircles, with their beaches covered to a width of a few feet with small pebbles. Between these two bays was a bold rocky promontory running into the lake, and covered with fine old pine trees. Along one side was a stretch of perhaps three miles of grey precipitous rocks nearly covered with birch and hazel, which hung over the water, casting a dark shade on it. The other end of the lake was contracted between the rocks till it was lost to the view, while on the remaining side was flat moorland.
