Xcèntric: The parallel attempt. Italian experimental film
Thursday January 24th 2013, 20h
Xcèntric CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona
A reflection on the figure of Marinella Pirelli, an Italian experimental filmmaker with a body of work that has languished for over 40 years in a dark basement. Her films dialogue directly with those of two other Italian filmmakers, Piero Bargellini and Paolo Gioli, constantly questioning the paradigms required to generate an image and its relation with the cinematographic device. Styles, forms and means of production that initially seem very different come together in this session to generate a narrative that runs through the cinema, the technological imaginary and the optical unconscious of Italian experimental film production of the 1960s and 1970s.
- Gioco di dama (Marinella Pirelli, 1961-1963, 6 min)
- Inter-vento (Marinella Pirelli, 1969, 3 min)
- Sole in mano (appropriazione, azione propria, a propria azione) (Marinella Pirelli, 1973, 6 min)
- Il lago (soggettivo-oggettivo) (Marinella Pirelli, 1965, 14 min)
- Nelda (Piero Bargellini, 1969, silent, 4 min)
- Secondo il mio occhio di vetro (Paolo Gioli, 1971, 10 min)
- Immagini reali immagini virtuali (Paolo Gioli, 1972, 10 min)
- Doppio autoritratto (Marinella Pirelli, 1974, 12 min.)

Corin Sworn: The Rag Papers
8 February - 24 March 2013
Preview: Thursday 7 February 2013, 18:30-20:30h
Chisenhale Gallery
64 Chisenhale Road, London E3 5QZ
Chisenhale Gallery presents a newly commissioned work by the Canadian, Glasgow based artist Corin Sworn. This will be Sworn’s largest and most ambitious exhibition to date and comprises a film presented as part of an installation with synchronised lighting and sound.
The Rag Papers (2013) explores the socially constructed nature of attention and the implications of reuse and appropriation as they reconfigure the meaning of things. The film’s worried narrative shifts between the perspectives of three characters who interact with a series of objects at distinct moments in time. The film uses point of view shots and cutaway sequences to suggest the roaming of each character’s attention and in doing so introduces itinerant spaces such as hotel rooms, sorting depots and markets.
Sworn uses the language of filmmaking to question human agency, layering multiple subjective viewpoints and presenting the distracted nature of attention and thought patterns as she shifts back and forth between the modes of remembering, looking, processing and reading. Objects play a central role in the film, almost as characters in their own right, but the suggestion that they indicate or hold specific meaning is deflected as designations shift.
Xcèntric: Dressing for pleasure
Thursday January 17th 2013, 20h
Xcèntric CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona
Julien Temple offered segments of the film Dressing for Pleasure in the Sex Pistols’ documentary The Filth and the Fury (2000). Four years later, designer Vivienne Westwood, the mother of punk style, ran the entire film on a continuous loop at the London retrospective of her career. Only then was the first recognition expressed of the work of John Samson, a forgotten filmmaker who influenced the British punk aesthetic of the seventies and eighties. He has often been considered the European Kenneth Anger, which is why we present the work of the two in a single session for the first time. Scorpio Rising is a fundamental work in American underground cinema that continues to fascinate contemporary creators. To top it off, we retrieve the recreation of Scorpio Rising that video clip artist Luis Cerveró made for the CCCB to publicise the exhibition “That’s Not Entertainment! Film Begets Film”.
- Scorpio Rising (Kenneth Anger, 1963, 16 mm, 29 min)
- Dressing for Pleasure (John Samson, 1977, 25 min)
- Tattoo (John Samson, 1975, 20 min.)
- Xcèntric. That’s Not Entertainment (Luis Cerveró, 2007, 35 mm, 1 min 30 s.)
