8Albe Contemporary Art Overview by Dimora delle Balze

Video Art Program – Third edition

Sunsets: cosmogonies and ends of worlds

For the third edition of 8Albe, art stewards us through times of profound transformation. From mythical beginnings to melancholy laments, from ancient and spiritual traditions to cosmic fabulatious, the films in Tramonti’s programme imagine the emergence and endurance of lives and knowledges through ends and new beginnings. Rather than offering utopian or apocalyptic visions, these films hold space for the possibility of making worlds with tenderness, while tending to the work of letting go.

New post

Support and promote the development of contemporary art in Sicily and southern Italy

8 albe, a project founded by Dimora delle Balze, is an annual contemporary art exhibition that will develop three main thematic areas: nature, time and the dream world. With the creation of exhibition itineraries, video projections and conferences organized in collaboration with different entities each time, the contemporary art exhibition will explore, year after year, the three main themes, all closely connected to the place where this project was born and to the its natural composition.
