Una storia d’amore secolare quella tra Venezia e la musica. La città è stata, da sempre, un approdo per i musicisti da tutto il mondo, considerata una vera capitale della musica tra ‘500 e ‘700. Quanto conosciamo questo rapporto e cosa è emerso nell’ambito della musica contemporanea oggi?
Il terzo episodio di Nowtilus, “Ma che musica, Venezia! La biondina in gondoeta, Luigi Nono e altri suoni” si spinge non solo a narrare l’importanza della musica durante la Serenissima ma anche le sue identità contemporanee, dalle sperimentazioni di musica elettronica, al reggae, fino al repertorio popolare veneziano e veneto, ripreso negli anni ’60 da musicisti come Silvia Ronchini, Alberto D’Amico e molti altri.
 
Un tour d’ascolto in compagnia di Veniero Rizzardi, che ci racconta dello spettacolare panorama musicale rinascimentale fino ad oggi, alla musica contemporanea e al compositore e musicista veneziano Luigi Nono, che nel 1984 presenta l’opera “Prometeo” alla Chiesa di San Lorenzo, oggi sede di Ocean Space. Passando poi a Maria Bergamo, ricercatrice e cantante che ci indica la poliedrica e vasta realtà della musica popolare veneziana, storica e contemporanea, e della sua straordinaria liquidità.
 
Un approfondimento sul tema sarà possibile consultando Nowtilus Plus, approfondimento che accompagna ogni episodio della seconda stagione, all’interno della quale si troverà anche una playlist consigliata da Enrico Bettinello di musiche del repertorio classico e popolare dedicate alla nostra  amata Venezia.

Great music, Venice! 'La biondina in gondola', Luigi Nono and other sounds, with Veniero Rizzardi (Fondazione Luigi Nono) and Maria Bergamo (singer and researcher). 
 
There’s a centuries-old love story between Venice and music. The city has always been a haven for musicians from all over the world, and was considered a true capital of music between the 16th and 18th centuries. How much do we really know about this relationship, and what has emerged in the context of contemporary music today?
The third episode of Nowtilus, “Great music, Venice! 'La biondina in gondoeta’, Luigi Nono and other sounds”, not only investigates the importance of music during the Serenissima, but also its contemporary identities, from experiments in electronic music, to reggae, and right up to the Venetian and Veneto popular repertoire in the 60s by musicians such as Luisa Ronchini, Alberto D’Amico, and many others.
An audio tour de force in the company of Veniero Rizzardi, who tells us about everything from the spectacular Renaissance musical landscape to date, to contemporary music and the Venetian composer and musician Luigi Nono, who in 1984 presented his work “Prometeo” at the Church of San Lorenzo, now home to Ocean Space. We also speak to researcher and singer Maria Bergamo, who explores the multifaceted and vast reality of Venetian folk music, both historical and contemporary, and its extraordinary flexibility.

“Arrivi e partenze. Piccola mappa di migrazioni, esodi e desideri” - il quinto episodio di questa stagione di “Nowtilus” si immerge nelle dinamiche delle migrazioni sociali, storiche e contemporanee, a Venezia, sfatando alcuni luoghi comuni su tempi, modi e cause dello spopolamento della città.

In compagnia di Federico Barbierato, professore di Storia Moderna all’Università di Verona, conosciamo le correnti di popoli che intersecavano e arricchivano la Serenissima nell’epoca moderna, scoprendo un concetto di straniero del tutto diverso da ciò che ci aspetteremmo. Insieme a Clara Zanardi, antropologa, scopriamo le dinamiche dell’esodo e del turismo nella seconda metà del XX secolo, svelando sistemi di “bonifica umana” incoraggiati dalle classi dirigenti e la cui analisi pone inediti punti di vista sull’annosa questione dello spopolamento della città. Una città che vive ogni giorno la contraddizione tra continui arrivi, anche se provvisori, e svuotamento della popolazione residente, ma che in passato ha conquistato la sua “serenissima” stabilità economica, sociale e culturale proprio grazie a una mescolanza accogliente e cosmopolita. Conversazioni, quelle con Barbierato e Zanardi, che rinnovano in modo stimolante la riflessione su una sostenibilità che prima ancora di essere ecologica, deve essere umana e sociale.

“Arrivals and departures. A little map of migration, exodus, and desire” is the title of the fifth episode of this season of “Nowtilus”, which plunges into the dynamics of the social, historical and contemporary migration in Venice, debunking some myths about the times, means, and causes of depopulation in the city.
 
In the company of Federico Barbierato, professor of Modern History at the University of Verona, we’ll find out about the flow of people that crossed through and enriched the Serenissima in the modern era, while discovering a very different understanding of what it means to be a foreigner. Together with the anthropologist Clara Zanardi we’ll discover the dynamics of mass migration and tourism in the second half of the twentieth century, revealing the systems of “human reclamation” encouraged by the ruling classes, and whose analysis offers unprecedented points of view on the age-old question about the depopulation of city. Venice is a city that embodies a contradiction between the continuous arrivals, even if only temporary, and the ever diminishing resident population, but it is also a place that in the past achieved “serenity” in terms of economic, social, and cultural stability thanks to a welcoming, cosmopolitan, and diverse demographic. These conversations with Barbierato and Zanardi represent a refreshing reflection on a type of sustainability that aside from being ecological, must also be both human and social.

2.5 Nowtilus: Arrivi e Partenze. Piccola mappa di migrazioni, esodi e desideri

In the final episode of Aridity Lines, Eyal Weizman (professor of spatial and visual cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, and the founding director of Forensic Architecture) recontextualizes his research on the aridity line, stemming from his 2015 book The Conflict Shoreline, and discusses how it can be understood today. Addressing issues of environmental colonialism and its entanglement with structures of violence, namely in occupied Palestine and the Mediterranean region, Weizman reflects on the use of scientific tools and inherited forms of knowledge in his work as well as reconsidering a futurity imbued with unconventional signifiers.

Aridity Lines: Violence, climate change, and shifting shorelines

In this episode, we are joined by Jol Thoms, a London-based artist and researcher teaching the MA program Art & Ecology at Goldsmiths, University of London. Thoms is the founder of a multi-year sound project called Radio Amnion, commissioning artists and researchers to stream sonic composition from the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Radio Amnion explores the magical spaces of intersection between cultural and scientific cosmologies and also joined the STARTS artists-in-residency for their final showcase event at Ocean Space in Venice on the summer solstice in 2021.

In a conversation with Elisa Resconi, an astrophysicist from the Technical University of Munich, and Dwight Owens from Ocean Networks Canada, an initiative of ocean observatories monitoring the Canadian coastline, this episode delves into the deep world of ocean science and compassionate ecological art, departing from the smallest and perhaps most elusive particles described by physics. What happens when science opens up its depths to the transformative potential of art?
