"ARTE VIDEO ROMA FESTIVAL", Rome based audiovisual research international exhibition, is ready to start. The event, organized by C.A.R.M.A. - Applied Multimedia Art and Research Center and curated by "Le Momo Electronique" Curators Group, will be held from the 25^th to the 27^th of June at Casa dei Popoli-A.I.A.S.P., Rome (Italy).

 

The Festival, from the very first edition, is intended to be a synonymous of quality in works selection and a door wide open to national and international interaction and cooperation with any person or organization involved in contemporary art and culture active spreading. 

The Festival will present 6 different sections, made up by C.A.R.M.A. curators group "Le Momo Electronique", which has already reached five years of activity in monitoring worldwide videoart scene; by eminent critics, artists, production/distribution companies and, last but not least, through a widely joined international open call.

 

Almost a thousand works viewed and a final selection of forty-four pieces, ten of which selected among three hundred pieces received from all the world through open call (check the selected artists list at: http://carma.qblog.it). 

"It's our firm intention to express a very precise curatorial concept, to show plainly the different approaches,  the procedures and both the technical/aesthetic and conceptual trends that we consider as the most interesting ones, from a historical an artistic point of view." (Le Momo Electronique) 

4 screening stations will be arranged all around the multi-functional space of Casa dei Popoli: on the first station two sections will be shown, the "MAGMART FESTIVAL" section, curated by Enrico Tomaselli, with 10 international works selected from the 5 editions of the event; the "FISHEYE FESTIVAL" section, curated by Bruno Di Marino, with 7 Italian videoart pieces. 

The second station will host "ARTEVIDEO" section, with works selected through the international open call, and a section with artists called together by C.A.R.M.A. Both sections have been curated by Le Momo Electronique. 

A third station will show a selection of works from the catalogue of the famous international videoart distribution company "HEURE EXQUISE!", whereas the last station will be dedicated to "RICICLI CATODICI" Project, with multiple tv-screens showing simultaneously videoinstallations selected among all the works considered by the curatorial group. 

A jury panel with eminent artists and critics:

Adriana Amodei, Andrea Balzola, Robert Cahen, Valentino Catricalà, Mariagrazia Costantino, Veronica D'Auria, Bruno Di Marino, Marco Maria Gazzano, Stefano Roveda, Mario Sasso e Enrico Tomaselli

will have the authority to express from one to three preferences about the five sections "FISHEYE", "MAGMART", "C.A.R.M.A.", "HEURE EXQUISE!" and "ARTEVIDEO", as well as to give a special mention to one of the pieces included in "RICICLI CATODICI" section. The ten most voted pieces, along with the one chosen among videoinstallations, will join the collective exhibition to be held in autumn 2010. 

"An event inspired by a concept of fruition sliding through space and time, differentiated on what concerns technical/formal aspects and artists' peculiar languages, but homogeneous on some theoretical bases and approaches, whose primal origin can be found in the awareness that seeing, hearing, sensing in a different way is a necessary exercise to re-thinking, re-forming, re-founding the world, constantly."(Le Momo Electronique)
