Videocittà Returns with Second VideoArt Week in Rome

The second edition of VideoArt Week italiana, part of Videocittà festival, runs from November 19 to 27, 2019, featuring 80 artists across nine days. Curated by Damiana Leoni and Lorena Stamo, the main program takes place at MAXXI's Videogallery and Auditorium, while collateral events occur at foreign academies, foundations, and academic spaces in Rome. Highlights include the Magic Lantern Film Festival dedicated to food, curated by Ilaria Gianni, Adrienne Drake, and Maria Alicata; Kizart by Raffaella Sciarretta for children; and international artists like Garrett Bradley and Rirkrit Tiravanija alongside Italians Daniele Puppi and Nico Vascellari, who brings his Lyon Biennale intervention. The closing night at Istituto Svizzero features Rä di Martino's video 'L'eccezione' (2019) and DJ sets by MAI MAI MAI and DJ HUGOSAN. RUFA presents 'Rome will tear us apart – Flâneur 2.0', a multimedia exhibition by four students guided by Alessandro Carpentieri, Stefano Compagnucci, and Raffaele Simongini. Galleries participate with ad hoc projects, such as Studio Stefania Miscetti showing Adrian Tranquilli's 'The Unguarded Moment', directed by Giorgio Guido, exploring dialogue through Batman and an angel.
