Fondazione Morra Greco Presents Video Art Survey in Naples

The Fondazione Morra Greco in Naples is hosting a video art exhibition drawn from the Morra Greco Collection, curated by Alessia Volpe. The show spans three floors of Palazzo Caracciolo di Avellino, featuring works in 16mm film, 35mm slides, video installations, and digital projections. The selection includes pieces from the late 1990s to early 2000s by artists such as Jonas Mekas, Mark Leckey, Christian Jankowski, Jeremy Deller, and Candice Breitz. Highlights include Mekas's 'Elvis and Wein & Mozart' (2001), a sensory journey through the artist's memory combining Elvis's last concert, Vienna, and Mozart, and Leckey's 'Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore,' a panoramic collage of British nightlife across the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s blending social documentary with pop culture and class issues. The exhibition emphasizes a fragmented viewing experience, allowing visitors to enter and exit freely, engaging with the works as a flâneur. The video medium is presented as a tool for societal investigation and a visionary perspective on the renaissance of imagination, complicating the boundary between realism and fiction.
