Claudio Beorchia: Pripoveduj mi reko

Razstava "Pripoveduj mi reko", aktualnega gosta rezidenčnega programa SobaZaGosteMaribor Claudia Beorchie.

Pripoveduj mi reko je raziskava reke Drave, natančneje refleksija splošnega dojemanja vode v sodobni družbi.

Pripoveduj mi reko, osrednje delo na razstavi je zgodba o reki - od njenega izvira do Maribora - ki se napaja s stotinami recenzij in mnenj o Dravi in ​​njenih posebnostih ter znamenitostih objavljenih na Googlu in TripAdvisorju. Izbor najbolj nenavadnih, izvirnih, pomenljivih ali rekurzivnih kritik, je preurejen in ponovno sestavljen v literarni kolaž, ki sledi presenetljivim povezavam in pomenskim stikom, oživi zborovsko kompozicijo o reki in njenih vodah.

Fontana - avdio vizualna instalacija, ki artikulira Pripoveduj mi reko, je odraz vode in njene vloge kot naravnega vira mesta. Gre za nekakšen poetičen kratek stik: mestno energijo proizvajajo hidroelektrarne na Dravi; televizorji dela Fontana tako lahko delujejo zahvaljujoč se rečni energiji, na zaslonih pa opazujemo slike jezu elektrarne, ki proizvaja to energijo.

Poleg pojma vode, projekt Pripoveduj mi reko nagovarja tudi temo pokrajine in gradnje, pogosto mediirane skozi digitalne in telematske tehnologije dosegljive ljudem ter pojma avtor in avtorstvo, transformirana po razcvetu družbenih medijev.

Claudio Beorchia: Tell me a river

Tell me a river is an investigation about the Drava river, or, more precisely, a reflection on how people perceive water within contemporary society.

The main work of the exhibition: Tell me a river, is a narration of Drava - from its source to Maribor - that feeds on hundreds of reviews about the river, its attractions and landmarks, written and published on Google and TripAdvisor. A selection of the most curious, original, and recursive reviews is rearranged and reassembled in a literary collage that pursues semantic links shaped in a choral composition of the river and its waters.

Fountain - the audio-visual installation that builds on Tell me a river, is also a reflection on water and its role as a resource for the city. It is a kind of poetic short-circuit: the city's energy is supplied by hydroelectric power plants along the Drava; the televisions of Fountain can work thanks to the energy provided by the river; therefore, on the screens, it is the flow of the images of the dam and the waterfall that provides that energy.

If water is the main subject of the exhibition Tell me a river, there are other related topics in the research: the landscape and its construction, increasingly mediated by digital and telematic technologies available to people; and the concept of author and authorship transformed after the advent of social media.

Interesni Safari

IntersniSafari je iskanje stičišča med temo raziskovanja gostujočega umetnika in lokalnim okoljem. Z rezidentom Claudiem Beorchio, ki ga zanima fenomen vode, bomo raziskovali glavno determinanto Maribora – reko Dravo. Skupaj se bomo sprehodili po mitični preteklosti, kot tudi polpretekli industrijski zgodovini mesta, pri tem pa iskali srž povezanosti in prepletenosti mesta in njenih prebivalcev na eni in vode, reke na drugi strani. Kdo daje komu ritem? Reka človeku ali človek reki? Pridružite se diskusiji in spoznajte umetnika.

S predavanji na mestu, komentarji in diskusijo bomo začeli na Lentu, kraju, kjer se je začela pisati zgodba o mestu. Pripeljite se s kolesom, potrebovali ga bomo za raziskovanje!

Interest Safari

IntersniSafari is a search for the intersection between the research subject of the residential artist and the local environment. With the resident Claudio Beorchio, who is interested in the phenomenon of water, we will explore the main determinant of Maribor - the Drava River. Together we will walk through the mythical past as well as the half-past industrial history of the city, looking for the core of the connection and intertwining of the city and its inhabitants on the one hand and the water, the river on the other. Who directs whom the rhythm? The river to the people or the people to the river?

Join the discussion and get to know the artist. We will begin with on-site lectures, comments and discussion at Lent, the place where the story of the city began to be written. Come by bike, we'll need it to explore!
