IMAGONIRMIA 2020 Award
Il futuro è un ordine che insorge.
IMAGONIRMIA Award, ed. 2020
“variable displacement”
Helicotrema 9
Helicotrema is a nonprofit festival started in 2012 that presents programming of recorded audio tracks, aiming to investigate the possibilities of an environment and a form of collective listening as was the case in the early decades of radio broadcasting.
The festival is structured in a series of listening sessions, like film screenings without a screen, in which the audience is invited to immerse themselves in listening to compositions by international composers. Over the years the festival has hosted hearings in very different places always investigating how audio works, environment and audience can merge together.
This year Helicotrema, as the winner of the 5th edition of Imagonirmia Prize “variable displacement”
art residency + publishing project,
by Elena Mantoni’s Imagonirmia Association, curated by Isabella Bordoni, joins the associations Imagonirmia e Amigdala to present a site-specific edition of the exhibition within the Villaggio Artigiano Modena Ovest artisan village.
Listening sessions, designed for residents and visitors to the neighborhood, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 26 inside the facilities of “La Fratellanza 1874“, one of the most renowned athletic fields nationwide.
Drawing from the location, the listening program will include sound works reflecting on the themes of the body, sports competition, and exercise.
Thanks to Premio Imagonirmia, Helicotrema will also have the opportunity to recount its nine years of activity through a publication published by Viaindustriae, publishing partner of the Prize, scheduled for release in fall 2020. The volume will be structured as a festival self-design manual and will contain an ad hoc intervention made by U.S. artist Marcos Lutyens, printed on flexy-disc.
