On Friday, May 19, from 2-5.30pm, the research group ‘Moving Images: Preservation, Curation, Exhibition’ (Eye Filmmuseum, UvA and ASCA)is organizing a book launch, film program, and discussion at the Eye Collection Centre (Asterweg 26). It concerns the launch of Taroni-Cividin: Performance, Video, Expanded Cinema 1977-1984, a bilingual edited volume which comprehensively chronicles and sets into today’s context the work of Roberto Taroni and Luisa Cividin across film and performance. Alongside a special screening of some of Taroni-Cividin’s film and video works restored in the context of the project, artist Roberto Taroni and editor Flora Pitrolo will join in conversation by Eye curator Simona Monizza and programmer and researcher (Leiden University) Julian Ross to discuss the duo’s radical interdisciplinary practice. The event is free of charge and open for all to join.
