Rosa Barba: In Conversation With.

This book was published in conjunction with the exhibition “Rosa Barba” at Kunstverein Braunschweig and the CCA – Center for Contemporary Art Tel Aviv.
It collects four conversations between the artist and Sergio Edelsztein (Director CCA Tel Aviv), Hilke Wagner (Director Kunstverein Braunschweig), and writers and curators Kirsty Bell and Gil Leung.

Rosa Barba (*1972 in Agrigent, Italy; lives in Berlin) is an artist working extensively in the area of film. Besides narrative works on film, Barba also produces sculptural orchestrations that ultimately open up into a conceptual practice. Works such as Enigmatic Whistler (2009) or Invisible Act (2010) develop an almost multisen-sorial effect due to their special treatment of material, form, surface, light, and sound. The absence of a projected image causes the focus to shift to the material, thus heightening the sculptural effect.

The launch will occur alongside a special presentation of Occasional Papers’ back catalogue, on view at Motto Vancouver through October. Founded in 2008 by De Bondt and Hudek, Occasional Papers is a non-profit publisher devoted to the histories of architecture, art, design, film and literature.

Cine Qua Non #4

Bilingual Arts Magazine – Winter/Spring 2011 #4

Cine Qua Non is an arts magazine of the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies (ULICES) built up by movements in written form that freely crisscross reflections, reviews or essays; movements that relate music to visual arts, dance to theatre, cinema to literature. This publication intends to submit its readers to a unique editorial approach that gathers artists, researchers and teaching staff, Portuguese or foreign, proposing texts of different nature about diverse artistic expressions. Cine Qua Non is, since its first printed issue, an entirely bilingual publication (Portuguese/English) that is presented in both versions: an online edition and a printed one.
