About Com’è bello far l’amore da Trieste in giù #1
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. Taking the moves from this hymn to sexual freedom, the column and the sound exhibitions it includes are dedicated to different ways of thinking and representing womxn’s bodies, sexuality, desire, and pleasure.

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.

MILVA E VIOLA SOGNANO

We are thrilled to present the third sound exhibition of the column “Com’è bello far l’amore da Trieste in giù,” featuring works by Louise Bonpaix & Luigi (The Submissive Macho), Marlène Charpentié, Gaia Del Santo, and Partout Partout Collective. 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. All these reflections will unfold under the shining star of the great Raffaella Carrà.

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

We are thrilled to present the fifth sound exhibition of the column “Alla mattina appena alzata” featuring works by Mia Sanchez, Ronja Svaneborg, Verity Jane Keefe and Pelian Li. Alla mattina appena alzata #5 (in the morning, freshly awoke) comes as a continuation of a trajectory started many years ago. 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.

Alla mattina appena alzata #5

We are thrilled to present, at last, the fifth sound exhibition of the column “Com’è bello far l’amore da Trieste in giù,” unfolding under the shining star of the great Raffaella Carrà and featuring new productions by artists Léa Katharina Meier, Valeska Romero Curiqueo, and RM (Real Madrid). As reminded by the last sound exhibition we released, this column is dedicated to the art of making love and draws inspiration from Raffaella Carrà’s song “Tanti Auguri,” released in the late 1970s by CBS Records and distributed by Messaggerie Musicali in Milan. Brace yourself for the sonic journey you are about to embark on: it will take you through the most diverse places, carved in grotesque fantasy, dissident memory, and pop culture.


COM'È BELLO FAR L'AMORE DA TRIESTE IN GIÙ #5

We are thrilled to present the fourth sound exhibition of the column “Com’è bello far l’amore da Trieste in giù,” unfolding under the shining star of the great Raffaella Carrà and featuring new productions by artists Tereza Glazova, Shamiran Istifan, Sunna Margrét, and Chiara Pagano. As our listeners know well, this column dedicated to the art of making love draws inspiration from Raffaella Carrà’s song “Tanti Auguri,” released in the late 1970s by CBS Records and distributed by Messaggerie Musicali in Milan. By their sound pieces, the invited artists tell us stories about limerence and blasphemy, while demystifying the enduring myth of romantic love or desecrating sexual control policies.

COM'È BELLO FAR L'AMORE DA TRIESTE IN GIÙ #4

We are thrilled to close the season and wish you happy holidays with the fourth sound exhibition of the column “Atlantidee,” featuring a new production by artist Sarina Scheidegger. As our listeners know well, the column “Atlantidee” is slightly different from the others, as it is not specifically dedicated to a particular Italian song or singer but rather to legends of submerged or underground worlds belonging to Mediterranean maritime culture and extending beyond that. We like to think that “Atlantidee” and the exhibitions it contains enable us to envision fantastic worlds and equally fantastic forms of life—inhabitants of vast, deep abysses or tiny spaces of fantasy, like the famous drawer Milva sings about in “Il mare nel cassette,” (the sea in the drawer), which we hear at the beginning of this episode. Enjoy your listening!

ATLANTIDEE 4

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!
