The third sound exhibition of the column Alla mattina appena alzata (in the morning, freshly awoke) comes as a continuation of a trajectory started in August 2020. It fits indeed into the conceptual framework set by the Italian popular song Bella ciao, as it was sung by the Italian rice workers (mondine) in protest against the exploitation of their workforce. This song has become an emblem of resistance in liberation struggles all over the world, at different moments in history, and still gives the rhythm to the sonic reflections of the artists invited.

The fourth sound exhibition of the column Alla mattina appena alzata (in the morning, freshly awoke) comes as a continuation of a trajectory started two years ago (oh yes, already!). It fits indeed into the conceptual framework set by the Italian popular song Bella ciao, as it was sung by the Italian rice workers (mondine) in protest against the exploitation of their workforce. This song has become an emblem of resistance in liberation struggles all over the world, at different moments in history, and still gives the rhythm to the sonic reflections of the artists invited.

The first sound exhibition of the column Com’è bello far l’amore da Trieste in giù is the first episode of the new column of CANALE MILVA, fitting into the conceptual framework set by the Italian popular song Tanti Auguri/Amoa, sung by Italian singer Raffaella Carrà as a hymn to sexual freedom and, in particular, to the liberation of women's sexuality.

We are thrilled to announce the release of the second sound exhibition of the column Com’è bello far l’amore da Trieste in giù, which fits into the conceptual framework set by Tanti Auguri, famous pop song by Italian singer Raffaella Carrà.

We are glad to announce the launch of the first sound exhibition of the column La pantera, l’aquila e la tigre: dive #1 (the panther, the eagle, and the tiger: divas #1), built around the three mythical figures of the Tigress of Cremona, the Eagle of Ligonchio, and the Panther of Goro, three monikers respectively attributed to Mina, Iva Zanicchi, and Milva. In other words, three singers who, in postwar Italian popular culture, took on the fantastic traits of zoomorphic deities in the eyes of their fans. This column will gather reflections emerging from their singing and performances, and tackling the practice of naming; celebrity culture and the figure of the diva; multispecies hybridization; and the mechanisms of mythical construction in popular culture.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the second sound exhibition of the column La pantera, l’aquila e la tigre: dive (the panther, the eagle, and the tiger: divas), built around the mythical figures of the Tigress of Cremona, the Eagle of Ligonchio, and the Panther of Goro, that is, three monikers respectively attributed to Mina, Iva Zanicchi, and Milva. The column is in fact dedicated to these three singers, who, in postwar Italian popular culture, took on the fantastic traits of zoomorphic deities in the eyes of their fans because of their roaring, ringing or biting voices, but also because of their posture and stage presence, and the ability they had to take up space and defy costumes. The column gathers sonic reflections which tackle especially the practice of naming; multispecies hybridization processes; celebrity culture and the figure of the diva; and the mechanisms underlying mythical construction in popular culture.

By their sound pieces, the artists tell us stories about love and making love, while pondering the importance of familiarizing oneself with one’s own sexuality and navigating the power relationships that the encounter with someone else’s can entail.

COM'È BELLO FAR L'AMORE DA TRIESTE IN GIÙ #3

CANALE MILVA è stata inaugurata nella primavera del 2020 da Giada Olivotto e Camilla Paolino, con il supporto di Lumpen Station e dell’artist-run space one gee in fog (Ginevra). Il progetto nasce in risposta alla chiusura temporanea di atelier, laboratori e spazi artistici, con la conseguente impossibilità di produrre lavori materiali e di presentarli nello spazio fisico. CANALE MILVA si confronta con il formato della mostra sonora, privilegiando il suono come mezzo di produzione artistica e l’ascolto come principale pratica di ricezione. CANALE MILVA comprende una serie di rubriche, ciascuna dedicata a una particolare canzone italiana e/o alla sua cantante, con una predilezione per le dive, che diventano punti di partenza per la costruzione di specifici progetti espositivi sonori. Ad oggi, le rubriche sono quattro: «Alla mattina appena alzata», «Com’è bello far l’amore da Trieste in giù», «ATLANTIDEE», «La pantera, l’aquila e la tigre: Dive». Buon ascolto!
