"Rosa Barba's work is grounded in a careful exploration of the materiality, the devices, the production conditions, and the grammar of cinema. The monograph From Source to Poem is an entrancing account of the main motives that drive the artist's practice, underscoring the context in which the artworks are presented at both architectural and conceptual levels. Besides numerous films, sculptures, and works composed of light, the catalogue accompanying the exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, and other recent exhibition venues, also features the new 35mm film From Source to Poem from 2016 for the first time in Italy. Hundreds of images from historical archives in the United States evolve into a kind of collage of the cultural legacy of a Western civilization in the twentieth century. "I would like," says Barba, "to continue to explore the geographies that we create around us.""--Publisher description.

From Source to Poem

In diesem Band begibt sich die Autorin anhand des Konzepts einer anarchischen Organisation filmischer Räume – ein Arbeitsprinzip, das durch die Destabilisierung überkommener Strukturen des Kinos ein neues Denken bilden soll – auf die Reise zu einem imaginären politischen Tropus für das Kino der Gegenwart. ROSA BARBA (*1972, Agrigent, Italien) ist eine viel beachtete filmisch arbeitende Künstlerin. Sie wurde vielfach ausgezeichnet, u.a. mit dem renommierten Calder Prize. Ihr Werk wurde unter anderem im Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, der Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt und dem MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA ausgestellt.

On the Anarchic Organization of Cinematic Spaces – Evoking Spaces beyond Cinema

Laurie Anderson

Bergen Kunsthall

"Rosa Barba works with the basic elements of the cinema: celluloid, light, projector, and sound. She dissects the structure of the narrative and plays with the often improbable characters, places, and stories of the medium of film. Her exploration of space, time, and language is crucial to the process. This publication presents her new project, which, like a story or a play in different acts, stretches out across two exhibition chapters. The project revolves around a 35mm film, Time as Perspective, whichBarba shot during the spring in Texas--fascinated by the desert landscape, which she approaches from an almost archaeological perspective on a quest for inscribed signs and times." --Publisher description.
