Alterazioni Video (Art collective)

[edit]

Since 2004, Alterazioni Video has participated in international exhibitions such as Disobedience (Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin 2005), 52nd International Art Exhibition (Venice Biennale, 2007), Remote Control (MoCA, Shanghai 2007, Manifesta (Rovereto 2008)[1] and Freak Out (Greene Naftali Gallery, New York 2013). They have also had solo shows in institutions such as the Chelsea Art Museum (New York, 2006), MAR Museum of Art Ravenna (Ravenna, 2010) and Viafarini (Milan, 2012).

In 2007, for the 52° Venice Biennale, in the main exhibition curated by Robert Storr, the group showed Painting (16:9 colour HD, 16' 33", 2007), a work that documents the continued stratification of writings and cancellations on the outer walls of the San Vittore prison in Milan. Writings, images, and attempts at censorship become the linguistic elements of only one work, one large "painting" that documents, in its progress, the life of a community.

They are also known for creating "Incompiuto Siciliano",[2][3][4] a term coined by the artist to represent a contemporary architectural movement that produces instant ruins. Since 2006 the collective has catalogued more than 600 unfinished public infrastructures such as bridges, motorways, hospitals, stadia, prisons and theatres, scattered over the Italian territory, defined as an architectural style that represents Italy in the last 50 years. Incompiuto Siciliano has become a subject of study in the polytechnics and is discussed extensively in the Italian media as well as internationally.

In 2009, the group was invited to take part of the Biennial of performing art Performa 09 NY, together with the Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson with a performance titled Symphony n°1.[5][6]
