Chiare, fresche et dolci acque,
ove le belle membra
pose colei che sola a me par donna;
gentil ramo ove piacque
(con sospir mi rimembra)
a lei di fare al bel fianco colonna;
erba e fior che la gonna
leggiadra ricoverse
co l’angelico seno;
aere sacro, sereno,
ove Amor co’ begli occhi il cor m’aperse:
date udienza insieme
a le dolenti mie parole estreme.

Archeonet is a research developed within the Faculty of Architecture of Genoa and financed by the Italian Ministry of Universities and Research.

Aim of Archeonet is the valorisation of the cultural and natural Italian heritage through the development of archaeological sites, museums that manage them and geographical areas in which these sites are. The basic idea of this research is that the economical resources produced by mass tourism can be partly readdressed and redistributed along the territory in order to promote other areas where there are important sites of historical and cultural interest, but not yet included in the chain of international tourism.

Location: Luni (SP)
Date: 26-30 June

Sessant’anni anni fa, sabato 5 maggio 1945, era un giorno di primavera soleggiato. In quel giorno meraviglioso, circa alle ore 12.00, comparve davanti all’ingresso del campo di Mauthausen un automezzo della Croce Rossa Internazionale e due carri armati da ricognizione (autoblindo) americani.
L’ex sergente di Stato Maggiore Albert Kosiek comandante del primo plotone del gruppo D del 41° squadrone di Cavalleria Meccanizzata della XI divisione corazzata USA, era sul primo carro e nella meticolosa relazione al suo comando militare scriveva:

Forse il 5 maggio 1945 era un giorno qualunque per voi: noi pensavamo che lo sarebbe stato anche per noi, ma prima del tramonto. Quel giorno noi avevamo partecipato a esperienze che misero veramente alla prova la nostra immaginazione.

During the two weeks in Bologna for the IP Creating a Context workshop we – Team group 04 – finally realized a work consisting of both a physical installation and a video projection.

The work focused on Bologna graffiti dealing with the theme of the un-listened voices of bolognese citizens (didn’t matter if Italian, toursits, students, etc.): voices with no sounds, as re-presented in the video interviews edited in the city centre asking invited speakers to deliver a free speach without using the voice in front of our camera corder.

At the same time, in the gallery space of House of Front, where the final show was arranged, together with the video sequences there was also an installation realized using white building blocks of gasbeton.
