> Images from the first configuration, titled The Man of the Crowd, a direct reference to the novel of the same name written in 1840 by American
writer Edgar Allan Poe. In this story, the visual engagement between the two
main characters is used as a paradigm to describe the urban crowd pictured in
the historical moment of its emergence; during the development of extensive
metropolitan areas and all the new social, productive and perceptive
relationships these entail.
The first display of the exhibition moves from these considerations to actualize
a (hypothetical) individual point of view within the crowd itself; a method
that serves as way of exploring the affective interpersonal relationships that
result from physical contact, the awareness of individual subjectivity and its
negation through the loss of identity in the group.

ar/ge kunst presents the first Italian solo show by Falke Pisano in
collaboration with Paolo Caffoni (Archive Books). Pisano’s artistic practice focuses on the relationship between opposing and
complementary poles such as language and body. In these terms, the two
principal series of works by the artist (Figure of Speech, 2006-2010, and Body in Crisis, 2011- ongoing) are reflections on the disjunction, reproducibility and
reconstruction of the act of speech and the corporeal realm.
Archive Books has been developing editorial research on the notions of the ‘visible’ and the cinematic image, with all their socio-political implications, since
2009. This research corresponds to a reflection on both the meanings and the
practices of ‘exhibiting’ – of exposing oneself publicly (part of the practice of ‘publishing’ itself); an activity that has to be understood as a moment that enacts and
transforms productive processes. The outcome of this artist-publisher
collaboration at ar/ge kunst is an investigation entitled
Constellations of One and Many. It focuses on the relationships of power and affect that exist between subject
and collectivity. It takes its cues from a series of sources and case studies
in the fields of literature, philosophy and political science.

uPCOMING LAUNCH
Thursday March 13th
at the Arsenal, Berlin
Der Standpunkt der Aufnahme – Point of View is a curated film program at cinema Arsenal (Berlin) dedicated to political film and video work. The book involves the artists and a range of additional authors who will return to and expand on the themes and discussions addressed by the film program. The book presents current debates on working politically with film and video in the context of pertinent texts from the repertoire of film criticism and political thought.
This book was published on the occasion of Clemens von Wedemeyer solo show
at MAXXI in Rome. A film exhibition that discusses memory, the mechanisms
of cinematographic fiction and the themes of contemporaneity. Props and extras referencing the giants of the Rome film industry; the relationship between statue and actor, but also between these two and the spectator’s gaze; the history of film and its hidden aspects; the political struggles of the cultural sector workers of yesterday and today; the Greek myth of rebirth after destruction — these are the themes of The Cast. The show is composed of three new works conceived for the museum ( Afterimage; The Beginning: Living Figures Dying and Procession) and an installation composed of diverse forms and sculptures (Remains: The Myth of Deucalion and Pyrrha). The title The Cast alludes to diverse meanings including the production of sculptures (the casting of forms), the process of selecting actors (casting) and the gesture of throwing (casting a stone). The exhibition is born out of the research conducted by von Wedemeyer over the last year spent in Rome and deals with a number of its symbolic, historic and contemporary sites such as the Cinecittà Studios and the Teatro Valle Occupato.
