“walden” aka “diaries, notes and sketches” / jonas mekas. 1969

16mm, colour – filmed 1964 to 1968

Poet Jonas Mekas, born in Lithuania in 1922, invented the diary form of film-making. ‘Walden’, his first completed diary film, is an epic portrait of the New York avant-garde art scene of the 60s, is also a groundbreaking work of personal cinema.

The film features figures of the scene such as Jonas Mekas, P. Adams Sitney, Tony Conrad, Stan Brakhage, Carl Th. Dreyer, Timothy Leary, Baba Ram Dass, Gregory Markopoulos, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, Jerome Hill, Barbet Schroeder, Jack Smith, Edie Sedgwick, Nico, Velvet Underground, Ken Jacobs, Hans Richter, Standish D. Lawder, Adolfas Mekas, Shirley Clarke, Jud Yalkut, Peter Kubelka, Michael Snow and Richard Foreman.

“Since 1950 I have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York, seasons of the year. On some days I shoot ten frames, on others ten seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shoot nothing…. Walden contains material from the years 1964-1968 strung together in chronological order.” – Jonas Mekas

esce “aelia laelia e i libri dimenticati” – di silvia bordini (edizioni cambiaunavirgola)

Libri dimenticati sono quelli che rimangono dalla chiusura di Aelia Laelia, la casa editrice fondata nel 1982 da Carlo Bordini insieme a Giorgio Messori, Daniela Rossi e Beppe Sebaste. Ne ricostruisce la storia Silvia Bordini, sullo sfondo di ricordi personali e del clima culturale e ideologico di tempi passati, per delineare un ritratto inedito e intenso del fratello Carlo, scomparso nel 2020.
Aelia Laelia e i libri dimenticati è un tributo a un poeta che si era affermato nel mondo letterario «in una maniera appartata, tenace e selettiva tutta sua» e che aveva dato vita a un’avventura editoriale i cui protagonisti «volevano essere diversi, autonomi dalle maglie del sistema letterario, liberi di scegliere libri impubblicabili da proporre come libri felici e come doni».

from 23 jan. in kaunas (lithuania): “ex it”, by yoko ono

From 23 January 2022, an installation by the world-renowned artist Yoko Ono, Ex It, will be on display in the main operations room of the Kaunas branch of the Bank of Lithuania, a famous example of interwar Kaunas architecture. The installation consists of 100 wooden coffins of different sizes with fruit trees growing out of them and a sound recording of living nature. It is a powerful image of the aftermath of war or natural disaster, a metaphor for the resilience of life and the vitality of nature. As the artist herself says, “Ex It is life as a continuation”

This installation is the precursor to Yoko Ono’s major retrospective, which will be presented at Kaunas Picture Gallery in September this year. The exhibition, titled >>>
