0047 is please to invite you to visit its gallery during the evening of Friday, October 14.

On Friday, October 14 0047 will be open from 12pm to 10pm presenting its ongoing exhibition Stone from Strange Mountain, a project by artists Ulrika Gomm and Lina Persson. The exhibition introduces mining – a human activity at the core of modern civilization – as a mirror to mechanisms of economical and political control within industrial capitalism.

From 5pm to 10pm, 0047 also presents The Pirate Movie: Synesthesia¸ the second of quasi- montages by artists Antonio Cataldo and Ana Maria Bresciani. The Pirate Movies Series explores the themes of 0047’s exhibition while highlighting the undetermined as the sphere of montage in film. In an attempt to take position within cuts and ruptures, The Pirate Movies Series stresses the potential of man’s imagination by following the crossing from “not yet there” to the “recognized” border.

The Pirate Movie: Synesthesia (total running time: 24’10’’ played in a loop) departs from the following films:

Sulfarara (1955), Vittorio de Seta, 10’

Enigma (1978), Toshio Matsumoto, 3’

Through the Night Softly (1973), Chris Burden, 10’’

Earth of the People (1966), Artavazd Peleshian, 10’

Ringer 10 x (1965), Peter Roehr, 1’
