Movement has always been the most difficult experience for art to tell, and the great challenge of artists who stop for a moment in their work, but also want to represent its evolution. “Moving” is at the center of the evening of “Art Night”, with Neri Marcorè, broadcast on Friday 17 December at 9.15 pm on Rai5. In the foreground, the activity of the photographers who witnessed the Summer Jamboree (International Festival of Music and Culture of America in the 40s and 50s), and Giacomo Balla, a painter who following the futurist momentum tried to represent the movement, the speed, the succession of instants. The doc “Rock’n’Roll is a State of the Soul” is dedicated to the former, co-produced by the Summer Jamboree together with “Senigallia City of Photography”, the result of the homonymous exhibition conceived and produced for the twentieth anniversary of the Festival in 2019. The exhibition “Rock’n’Roll is a State of the Soul” is a photographic and multimedia story distributed in 20 exhibition rooms, including author photos, costume photos and retro streetstyle, Rock’n’Roll icons, life-size portraits, immersive room, scenographic installations and the maxi installation of the Burlesque Show Hologram (staged by Eve La Plume), a Wall of Wonder of dimensions never seen before in Italy until then.
The documentary is dedicated to Photography connected to the world and Rock’n’Roll culture, and contains interviews with some of the photographers who participated in the exhibition (Guido Calamosca, Giuliano Guarnieri, Amedeo M. Turello, Graziano Panfili, Giovanni Cocco, Pippo Honored) and the participation of Claudio “Greg” Gregori, Jackson Sloan and Peter Ford, who inaugurated the exhibition.
The evening of “Art Night” continues with “Balla, the lord of light” an Arte.it Originals production made in collaboration with Rai Cultura, directed by Franco Rado, authors Eleonora Zamparutti and Piero Muscarà. A documentary that tells the life of one of the greatest exponents of Futurism, protagonist of the avant-garde art scene in Rome before, during and after Fascism.
