screening room 01: alejandro cesarco

A digital expansion of the gallery spaces, the Viewing Room becomes a platform to experience and to explore, and begins with a program entirely dedicated to video, Screening Rooms.

The first chapter of Screening Rooms presents Uruguayan artist Alejandro Cesarco's Learning the Language (Present Continuous I) (2018). The film is part of a series of video portraits in which Cesarco borrows the vocabulary of the person portrayed to address some of his own recurrent concerns (memory, repetition, regrets, etc.). In this case who is portrayed is Margarita Fernández, an Argentinean pianist, performer, and music scholar. The portrait is constructed through a myriad of voices: Cesarco’s, Fernández’s, but also Morton Feldman’s. In addition, it includes piano interpretations of a section of Franz Schubert’s Andantino from the Sonata in A Major, as well as a fragmented rendition of Manuel de Falla’s Pour le tombeau de Paul Dukas.

Un'espansione digitale degli spazi della galleria, la Viewing Room diventa una piattaforma di fruizione ed esplorazione e ha inizio con una rassegna video, Screening Rooms.

ll primo capitolo di Screening Rooms presenta l’artista uruguaiano Alejandro Cesarco con Learning the Language (Present Continuous I) (2018).  L’opera video fa parte di una serie di ritratti in cui Cesarco si appropria del vocabolario della persona rappresentata per affrontare alcuni dei suoi temi più ricorrenti (la memoria, la ripetizione, il rimorso, ecc.). In questo caso il soggetto è Margarita Fernández, pianista, performer e studiosa di musica argentina. Il ritratto è costruito da una moltitudine di voci: quella di Cesarco e di Fernandez e anche del compositore Morton Fieldman. Offre inoltre un’interpretazione al pianoforte di un brano di Franz Schubert, Andantino from the Sonata in A Major, insieme a una versione frammentata di Pour le Tombeau de Paul Dukas di Manuel de Falla.
