More The Way It Was
+clickClaudio Tettamanti (TAP) has released more moments from his video archives. Loosely connected around the posthumous publication of Franco Beltrametti’s Regina di… in Switzerland in 2002 the clips include earlier moments from the 1990s in both Ticino and Italy. Glimpses of Jim Koller, Jean Monod, Kagumi. Julien Blaine performing at Silvia Spinelli’s Avida Dollars gallery in Milan. A fragment of/Franco and me reading The Thoughts of Captain Alexis at Tina Stolz’ Agli Orti in Locarno in May 1994. Dario Villa walks behind us…. and then is seen again, with Marta Pellis in their Milan appartment, where he shows almost the complete collection of Arte Nanetta (the travelling art show that fitted in a suitcase). Gianni Castagnoli, Steve Lacy (with a glimpse of Irene Aebi) and Baruchello talk. I looked again at the faces of dead friends and thanked the rolls of the dice. Grazie, TAP.
Some of TAP’s videos might be screened in large format at an event in San Francisco on April 29th. this year.
