Lucciche (shimmering): A Video Art Symposium
June 22-25, 2016
Officina d'Arte Ponte di Ferro
Via Carriona di Colonnata, 2
Carrara, Italy

Ponte di Ferro is an independent association composed of artists, working mostly in marble, that began more than 10 years ago. It’s focus is to create a collaborative environment, with sculpting studios for local and international artists to work on personal projects. As in past years, Ponte di Ferro is organizing a symposium on art, though for the first time concentrating on video exclusively.

Lucciche (shimmering), which the symposium event draws inspiration from, are random markings in stone, seen as surface impurities of Crystal and Quartz that shimmer when in contact with light. The theme therefore is of imperfection, an accidental quality that points towards the irreproducible.

The outdoor symposium is divided into two main film programs each evening: Video Mapping Projections curated by Giacomo della Pina e Luca Afro (studio cyberfreak) and Single-Channel Video Screenings curated by Chicago based artist Marco G. Ferrari.

The outdoor symposium event is free and open to the public. The event is organized and sponsored by Ponte di Ferro and other collaborators. Every night, before and after the video screenings and mapping projections, performances and concerts will take place.
