Ale Guzzetti"Sguardi diversi"Quando i robot incontrarono gli antichi DeiFino al 06 Giugno 2025Milano, Fondazione Mudima, Via Tadino 26http://www.mudima.netQuando i robot incontrarono gli antichi Dei, è il titolo della mostra personale di Ale Guzzetti organizzata da Fondazione Mudima a Milano, dal 6 maggio al 6 giugno 2025. Curata da Gino Di Maggio, l'esposizione ripercorre la lunga parabola creativa dell'artista, tra i primi in Italia a sondare il binomio arte e tecnologia.A partire dai primi anni Ottanta Guzzetti ha intrapreso una proficua ricerca creativa volta a esplorare i territori dell'arte elettronica e interattiva, fino a indagare le potenzialità della robotica, della stampa 3D e delle scansioni digitali. La mostra presenta un nucleo di opere emblematiche del suo percorso pionieristico, sculture e installazioni in cui figure plastiche e circuiti elettronici istituiscono un rapporto attivo con lo spettatore, costantemente stimolato a diventare co-produttore delle opere stesse.«Il lavoro di Ale Guzzetti si propone di far convivere arte e scienza aprendo - tra i primi artisti al mondo - un nuovo percorso artistico in cui i materiali utilizzati diventano essi stessi linguaggio specifico. Sono opere interattive, ma a differenza di quanto già accaduto nella storia dell'arte, le sue creazioni sono autonome. È il caso dei suoi lavori più recenti dedicati alla robotica, in cui le sculture non sono solo osservabili, ma a loro volta ci osservano, o osservano altre sculture. Per gli esseri umani è una situazione nuova, forse inquietante, perché non siamo ancora preparati a dialogare, per lo meno con lo sguardo, con una presenza artificiale. Ma la presenza c'è e come, e fin da subito dobbiamo, noi umani, decidere se prestarci a un gioco a cui ancora non siamo pronti» commenta il curatore Gino Di Maggio.Accogliendo la sfida della complessità, teorizzata dall'epistemologo Edgar Morin, e collaborando con filosofi come Mauro Ceruti e Gianluca Bocchi - principali cultori in Italia della scienza della complessità - Guzzetti concepisce l'opera d'arte come un vero e proprio ecosistema, frutto delle interrelazioni con l'ambiente e delle connessioni che stabilisce con i fruitori.  Sin dalle prime sperimentazioni, le sue opere si configurano come oggetti “senzienti”: è il caso delle Sculture sonore, a cui l'artista inizia a lavorare nel 1983, aggregazioni di oggetti in plastica (bottiglie, boe, tubi) che ospitano circuiti elettronici o dispositivi luminosi in grado di emettere rumori, voci e luci, a seconda del contatto, diretto o indiretto, con i visitatori.Le creature di Guzzetti sono “organismi tecnologici” in grado di dissolvere confini e limiti consolidati: quelli tra il mondo naturale e artificiale, tra spiritualità e tecnologia, classicità e modernità, passato e presente. Nelle sue opere sfuma la contrapposizione fra la sacralità dell'arte, che intimorisce e allontana, e l'ironia, che invita al coinvolgimento, al gioco e alla partecipazione. È il caso della serie Robot Portraits, caricature robotiche di personaggi famosi, reali o immaginari, inseriti all'interno di grandi cornici baroccheggianti. Profili di visi in resina e circuiti di Dante, Cleopatra, Cyrano, Federico da Montefeltro, Pinocchio, caratterizzati da grandi occhi tecnologici, grazie alla presenza di sensori, scrutano con curiosità ogni movimento. Tra le sculture e gli spettatori si instaura così un originale gioco di sguardi che sovverte continuamente le dinamiche tradizionali tra osservatore e oggetto osservato.I robot di Guzzetti ci sfidano e ci ri-guardano, desiderosi di stabilire un rapporto empatico con lo spettatore, e talvolta tra di loro. Nella serie Affective Robots, ad esempio, busti robotici o scultorei anelano a interagire l'uno con l'altro e a scambiarsi gesti affettuosi come in Impossible Kiss (2012) dove due volti umanoidi trasparenti tentano di entrare in contatto come due amanti colti nell'atto di scambiarsi un bacio. Un tipo di connessione che genera in chi osserva un senso di straniamento, ma anche di tenerezza, perché in un futuro prossimo i nostri sentimenti potrebbero assumere sfumature sempre meno umane. Ancora una volta sono gli occhi l'elemento che permette al pubblico di immedesimarsi nei due dispositivi artificiali. I loro occhi sono simili ai nostri ma diversi per la linea dello sguardo: nell'uomo orizzontale nei robot verticale. Quello dei due robot mima lo scrolling che ormai, in maniera del tutto automatica e “naturale”, caratterizza il nostro modo di vedere il mondo attraverso i device digitali.Fanno parte della stessa serie anche Affective Robot VS Naukides Discobolus (2013) e Robot VS Michelangelo (Daniele da Volterra) (2012), due conversazioni tête-à-tête tra una riproduzione in gesso di un'opera classica e un umanoide. Un simbolico passaggio di testimone tra i canoni di rappresentazione dell'essere umano nel corso della storia. Tra i due busti ci sono differenze epocali, eppure un filo rosso le accomuna: la volontà dell'umanità di avvicinarsi alla perfezione divina. Se nel mondo classico la perfezione era incarnata dalla figura dell'atleta e scolpita in blocchi di marmo, oggi l'uomo perfetto è il risultato di ciò che ha saputo costruire intorno a sé: relazioni, progresso intelligente, innovazione.I lavori più recenti di Ale Guzzetti, Quando i robot incontrarono gli antichi Dei, approfondiscono ulteriormente il tema dell'ibridazione tra antichità e contemporaneità, forme classiche e tecnologie avanzate. Dalla Medusa del Rondanini al Torso Gaddi, da una testa di Polifemo, risalente al II secolo a.C., a quella del dio Hypnos, conservata al British Museum: le riproduzioni stampate in 3D di busti e volti classici sono potenziate da visori, schermi e device di ultima generazione, come se i personaggi del passato cercassero di mimetizzarsi con l'uomo del nuovo millennio, ormai incapace di percepirsi senza ausilio tecnico. Alcuni dei dispositivi che innervano queste sculture sembrano provenire da un futuro lontano, quasi apocalittico: in realtà la tecnologia è già diventata un prolungamento dei nostri stessi corpi, una protesi necessaria alla nostra esistenza. Non ci appaiono dunque così aliene le figure che l'artista ci consegna da un passato lontano, contaminandole con gli esiti più avanzati del progresso. Incalzate dal nostro sguardo si animano, reagiscono alla nostra presenza, ci sussurrano quello che sanno e che apprendono.Dall'antichità, passando per gli automi rinascimentali, fino ai robot e all'intelligenza artificiale, il sogno della scultura, sin dai tempi più remoti, è stato quello di replicare la vita. Il tentativo di creare opere d'arte autonome, infatti, è un tema che affonda le proprie radici nel mito greco di Dedalo, fautore di invenzioni antropomorfe straordinarie, in grado di muoversi e persino di parlare. Con Dedalo l'artista diviene mago, ha il potere non solo di imitare l'esistenza, ma di plasmarla, creando opere che hanno libertà di azione e si rapportano con i viventi. Le creature di Guzzetti si inseriscono in questo millennario filone di sperimentazione, e traggono da esso il potere di sollecitare la nostra curiosità, prima che l'inquietudine abbia il sopravvento.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

From 1943 to 1945, John Emery first gave voice to the suave sleuth. In 1945, the legendary José Ferrer brought his commanding presence to the role in an NBC summer series. Then, beginning in 1946, the masterful Jackson Beck took over, starring in over 100 syndicated episodes produced by Frederic Ziv, ensuring Vance's legacy endured on the airwaves.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   The Making of the film “Bushman” Rob Nillson, Gail Schickele, Jon Shibata Film director Rob Nillson, Activist and Environmentalist Gail Schickele, and Film Archivist Jon Shibata in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, discussing the film “Bushman,” directed by David Schickele, recorded January 25, 2024 at Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive. Released in 1971 but filmed in 1968, the film “Bushman” is a masterpiece detailing the story of a Nigerian educator in San Francisco. The film vanished following its showing at various film festivals, and has now been digitized and restored, and can be viewed on the Kanopy and Hoopla, the free public library film apps. This discussion with Gail Schickele, wife of the late director David Schickele (1937-1999), his friend, colleague and collaborator director Rob Nillson, and BAMPFA film archivist John Shibata focuses first on “Bushman” and David Schickele, how the film came about and what happened during and after the filming, and later with the film's restoration, and a look at Rob Nillson's career as film-maker. Special thanks to AJ Fox and Susan Oxtoby of Pacific Film Archive. Inside photo: Richard Wolinsky.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   William Finn (1951-2025) and James Lapine William Finn, Richard Wolinsky and James Lapine Composer/lyricist William Finn, who died on April 7th, 2025 at the age of 73 and director/librettist James Lapine, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded March 20, 2019 at the Golden Gate Theater in San Francisco. William Finn is best known for writing the music and lyrics for two Broadway shows, Falsettos, which was the first gay-themed Broadway musical, and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, which has become a staple of community theatre companies around the world. He also wrote A New Brain, which dealt with his near death experience following brain surgery.  Falsettos was originally three one-act musicals which opened off-Broadway, In Trousers, March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland and the latter two became Falsettos, which opened on Broadway in 1992, co-authored and directed by James Lapine, who'd also co-authored Falsettoland. James Lapine is best known for his work with Stephen Sondheim on Sunday in the Park with George and Into the Woods. Falsettos was revived on Broadway in 2016 and came to San Francisco in spring of 2019. Richard Wolinsnky had a chance to sit down with both William Finn and James Lapine on March 20, 2019 in the lobby of the Golden Gate Theatre to discuss Falsettos, as well as take a brief look at each man's career.   Martin Amis (1949-2023): The Zone of Interest Martin Amis (1949-2023), in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in the KPFA studio on a book tour for “The Zone of Interest,” October 29, 2014. The Zone of Interest focuses on the lives of people who ran the concentration camps, as they chose to avoid thinking about their crimes against humanity. A film adaptation received Oscar nominations a couple of years ago. Novelist and essayist Martin Amis died of cancer on May 19, 2023 at the age of 73, leaving behind such novels as The Rachel Papers, London Fields, The Information, and his last memoir-cum-novel, Inside Story. On October 29th, 2014, Richard Wolinsky conducted the last of five interviews with Martin Amis, about Amis's then most recent novel, The Zone of Interest.   Review of “Here There Are Blueberries” at Berkeley Rep Roda Theatre through May 11, 2025.   Book Interview/Events and Theatre Links Note: Shows may unexpectedly close early or be postponed due to actors' positive COVID tests.

Author of over forty books, most of which deal with film and film history, David Thomson here discusses how movies have influenced how our society sees and understands war. In the interview, he talks about how war films rarely focus on the reasons why individual wars are fought, the soldier mentality, the two World Wars on film, fascism and resistance on film, along with such films as Black Hawk Down, The Deer Hunter and A Man Escapes. Recorded a year ago, he also discusses fascism in the United States, and the nature of resistance. Special thanks to AJ Fox and Susan Oxtoby of Pacific Film Archive, where the interview was recorded.

Created by S.S. Van Dine, Philo Vance first appeared in The Benson Murder Case (1925) as a wealthy dilettante whose keen mind and extensive knowledge made him an indispensable crime solver. His friend, District Attorney Markham, relied on his unconventional methods, while the gruff Sergeant Heath barely concealed his exasperation. Vance was equal parts scholar, art connoisseur, and detective—a man whose cultured demeanor masked an unyielding resolve to untangle the most perplexing crimes. Vance's popularity surged on the silver screen, where he was played by luminaries such as William Powell, Basil Rathbone, and Warren William. But it was on radio that his voice truly came to life. From 1943 to 1945, John Emery first gave voice to the suave sleuth. In 1945, the legendary José Ferrer brought his commanding presence to the role in an NBC summer series. Then, beginning in 1946, the masterful Jackson Beck took over, starring in over 100 syndicated episodes produced by Frederic Ziv, ensuring Vance's legacy endured on the airwaves.

Joined by their guest Gina, the trio embarks on a hilarious yet brutally honest rewatch, dissecting whether this high school take on Cyrano de Bergerac still holds up—or if it should've stayed in the past. From James Franco's infamously wet mouth to the film's questionable gender dynamics, no topic is off-limits as they pull apart this nostalgic mess of a movie.Along the way, expect heated debates, unexpected Degrassi tangents, and the return of the now-iconic No More Late Fees burn book.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Todd Haynes Todd Haynes, independent filmmaker, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. Recorded February 27, 2025. The director of ten feature length films, Todd Haynes is an independent film-maker with his roots in New Queer Cinema. After coming to the attention of the film community with his short film, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, in which the “actors” were Barbie Dolls, he achieved fame with his first feature, Poison, which told three stories in different ways, all of which commented on the AIDS epidemic. He followed that with the much-lauded Safe, and then moved on to mainstream success with the lush melodrama, Far from Heaven. His later films include Velvet Goldmine, focusing on the glam rock era, I'm Not There, in which several actors portrayed Bob Dylan, Carol, Dark Waters, Wonderstruck, and his latest film, May December (Netflix). His documentary, Velvet Underground, is available on Apple Plus. Along the way there was a miniseries, Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet, on HBO (streaming on MAX). All his films are available streaming. The films of Todd Haynes will be shown in a retrospective, “Todd Haynes: Far From Safe,”  through April 12th at BAMPFA, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

Plongez dans les coulisses de la pièce de théâtre Cyrano de Bergerac, où l'acteur Edouard Baer incarne avec brio le célèbre personnage créé par Edmond Rostand. Accueilli dans sa loge par la journaliste Julia Vignali, Edouard Baer se confie sur son interprétation de ce rôle emblématique, révélant les défis et les joies de porter cette figure légendaire sur les planches.Edouard Baer, un comédien de troupe passionné par la langue française, s'empare avec enthousiasme du rôle de Cyrano, cet homme à la fois flamboyant et brisé. Il explique comment, depuis son plus jeune âge, ce personnage l'a toujours fasciné, avec son mélange de bravoure, d'esprit et de mélancolie. Loin de se contenter de la célèbre tirade du nez, Edouard Baer met en lumière d'autres moments clés de la pièce, comme la scène du balcon où Cyrano s'autorise une déclaration d'amour voilée.Avec une grande humilité, l'acteur évoque également les interprétations marquantes de Cyrano qu'il a pu voir, de Jean-Paul Belmondo à Gérard Depardieu, sans vouloir s'en inspirer pour forger sa propre vision du personnage. Il souhaite en effet faire vivre Cyrano à sa manière, en s'appuyant sur la richesse du texte d'Edmond Rostand et en s'imprégnant de l'essence même du personnage.Au-delà de la dimension héroïque de Cyrano, Edouard Baer souligne la fragilité et les doutes de ce personnage, qu'il considère comme un « être humain » avant tout. La tirade des « non-merci », où Cyrano refuse les compromis pour réussir, touche particulièrement l'acteur, qui y voit un écho à ses propres choix de vie.À quelques heures de la représentation, Edouard Baer nous fait pénétrer dans l'intimité de la troupe, partageant leurs petits rituels pour se préparer mentalement et physiquement à entrer dans la peau de leurs personnages. C'est dans cet esprit de camaraderie et de service de l'œuvre que Cyrano de Bergerac prend vie sur la scène du Théâtre Antoine, porté par une équipe soudée.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.

In “Severance,” the Gothic Double Lives On

“Severance” is an office drama with a twist: the central characters have undergone a procedure to separate their work selves (“innies,” in the parlance of the show) from their home selves (“outies”). The Apple TV+ series is just the latest cultural offering to explore how the modern world asks us to compartmentalize our lives in increasingly drastic ways. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace the trope of the “double” over time, from its nineteenth-century origins in such works as “Jane Eyre” and “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” to the “passing” novels of the nineteen-twenties and thirties. Today's Oscar front-runners are rife with doubles, too, including those seen in  the Demi Moore-led body-horror film “The Substance” and “The Apprentice,” in which a young Donald Trump fashions himself in the image of his mentor, Roy Cohn. At a time when technological advances and social platforms allow us to present—or to engineer—an optimized version of our lives, it's no wonder our second selves are haunting us anew. “I think the double will always exist because of the hope for wholeness,” Cunningham says. “It's such a strong desire that the shadow of that whole self—the doppelgänger—will always be lurking at the edges of our imagination.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Severance” (2022—)“The Substance” (2024)“A Different Man” (2024)“Frankenstein,” by Mary Shelley“The Apprentice” (2024)“Passing,” by Nella LarsenKey and Peele's sketch “Phone Call”“Jane Eyre,” by Charlotte Brontë“Lisa and Lottie,” by Erich KästnerWilliam Shakespeare's “As You Like It”“The Uncanny,” by Sigmund FreudEdmond Rostand's “Cyrano de Bergerac”New episodes drop every Thursday.
