ART MOVIE - BELIEVE ME I AM AN ARTIST... by Adrian Paci

Tues. 29th January 2019, h 9 pm 
With the presence of the artist Adrian Paci
Auditorium Piazza Libertà - Bergamo IT 
curated by Contemporary Locus and Lab 80 film

Contemporary Locus and Lab 80 film return together to present the third appointment of Art Movie, an international project born with the aim of presenting, distributing and producing experimental films by artists.
In the Art Movie research, the work of Adrian Paci is like a torch that subtracts and gives back the figure of the artist from the dark. The narrative through moving images, played in four moments specially selected by Paci - the video works Believe me I am an artist (7 ', 2000), Piktori (3' 30 '', 2002), Electric blue (15 ', 2010) and The Column (24', 2013) - investigates the condition of the artist even before the contents and the instruments used by him. In a pertinent randomness, it is the video Electric blue to investigate the relationship between camera and life, illusions and reality, to bring us to a critical relationship between art and cinema with a dazzling sensibility.

The ticket is 6 euros, 5 reduction (for Contemporary Locus public) e 4 for Lab 80 members.
