Le avanguardie del movimento<b> <\/b><em>(Pas de deux. The avant-garde of motion<\/em>)\u00bb is the title of an exhibition presented at the MAN art gallery in Nuoro which is the result of a collaboration between the museum\u2019s director Lorenzo Giusti and Elena Volpato,\u00a0head of the visual arts section at Turin\u2019s Museum of Modern Art . The goal is to explore the different ways in which artists from different backgrounds and throughout time have employed image in motion through sketches, photographs and drawings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Works on display were selected to tell of image in motion by reconstructing its historic path. In fact, that which now apparently seems to be an easily acquired product \u2013 especially when we consider the great potential of modern technology \u2013 has a long and fascinating history made up of experiments and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exhibit begins with a drawn line that composes the characters from \u00c9mile Cohl\u2019s <i>Fantasmagorie<\/i> (1908), the oldest work on display. There is also <i>Lifelines<\/i> (1960) by Ed Emschwiller, a continuous white line that tangles into knots of material which gradually transforms into ornaments on the body of a dancer. The magic begins to be perceived as such with <i>Head<\/i> by George Griffin (1975), where we observe a lifeless self-portrait that slowly \u2013 after a flash of expressiveness &#8211;\u00a0 blossoms into a broad range of emotions, as if it were a kind of artist\u2019s studio that takes into consideration the entire scope of possible facial expressions in a single animated sequence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arshake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Norman-McLaren_Pas-de-deuxm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"Norman McLaren_Pas de deuxm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.arshake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Norman-McLaren_Pas-de-deuxm-335x500.jpg\" width=\"635\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Animation does not only involve drawings. Other forms of artistic expression like sculpture are also exhibited. Jan \u0160vankmejer is the creator of <i>Darkness\/Light\/Darkness <\/i>(1990), a video that shows two plasticine hands searching for one another and then work together to build an entire body, uniting the various elements that then enter the room where the scene takes place. The idea of creation, development and progress is also found in other works on display, conceived not only upon the concept of humanity but also through the observation of new technology that accompanies us during our daily lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The exhibit proceeds with new techniques used by contemporary artists that are often used to address social issues. Emblematic works by William Kentridge whose \u00abpain of the people is emphasized by traces of black dirt left upon the white pages of history, in contrast with the bodies moist with the light blue water of the rich and ruthless magnates\u00bb (quoted from a press release). Just as explicit are the silhouettes of <i>8 Possible Beginnings or: The creation of African-American <\/i>(2005) by Kara Walker, an artist who explores and interprets such thorny themes as the pain of the African people, women in particular, tortured and raped by colonial ferocity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arshake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Max-Almy_Perfect-Leaderm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"Max Almy_Perfect Leaderm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.arshake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Max-Almy_Perfect-Leaderm-500x375.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"475\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lastly, we return to humans in motion and the body captures our attention here as well, showing \u2013 after the bloodiness of a clash \u2013 the beauty that can be produced by the harmonious action of dance. There are several featured artists who worked with this theme. One of the many was Norman Mc Laren with his <i>Pas de deux<\/i> (1968) that looks like it is coming alive in a fantastic space, suspended between the dream and real world.\u00a0The exhibit closes with works by such artists as Claus Holtz &#038; Harmut Lerch: <i>Portrait Kopf 2<\/i> (1980) \u00a0 \u00abwhose animation of overlapping faces and heads leads us back (wards) to a view that is opposed to that of Lombroso, to the origins of human features\u00bb (quoted from a press release).<\/p>\n<h6>Passo a due.
