In recent years Luca Nostri has investigated some local photographic archives, as part of a PhD research at Plymouth University. In the Four Courtyards exhibition, set up in a project room, Nostri presents four photographic series which are a combination of photographic and curatorial practice. An eclectic family album belonging to a family of artists between the 19th and early 20th centuries, a series of portraits made by the photographer Paolo Guerra between 1946 and 1955 inside the two brothels existing in Lugo until 1958, a series of photographs built around the courtyard of Anselmo, the photographer's grandfather, and a sequence of photographs which explores the social landscape of the lowlands, starting from the hanging garden of the Castle of Lugo.

LUNARIO 

 
18 April – 24 May 2020 

 
curated by Andrea Simi 

 
Opening Saturday 18 April 18.00 pm 

 
Lunario is a thirty-year photographic journey (from 1968 to 1999) on the theme of the Moon, along with all its entourage of philosophical, literary and mythological meanings. Guidi records this series of lunar apparitions, measuring up to the technological aspects of the photographic medium, with its mechanical nature and its vocation for the investigation of optical, physical and natural phenomena. His is a search for a direct relationship with the early days of photography, coupled with his aptitude towards verification, also in self-reflexive, meta-photographic terms – a constant feature in his work.  

 
The exhibition features the series from Guidi's most recent publication (Lunario 1968-1999, Mack, London 2020) as well as some unpublished material, and it has been realised by Linea di Confine per la Fotografia Contemporanea in association with Comune di Rubiera as part of Fotografia Europea 2020 Fantasies. Stories, Rules, Inventions.

Jorge Ribalta  
FLAMENCO (AND OTHER) SKETCHES 
On photography as a cultural critique  

 
Curated by William Guerrieri 

 
Opening: 28 April, 6pm 

 
The series Wild Laocoön (from a poem by Federico García Lorca), made up of over 200 photographs, constitutes a photographic documentation project of key places in Flamenco culture, featuring the historical, economic, social, administrative and political structure of the institutional/popular culture of Flamenco in Spain.  

The historical-political reading of Flamenco, in the eyes of Jorge Ribalta, is based on the recognition and analysis of the two faces expressed by this form of dance, midway between a hegemonic national culture and historical popular culture. 

The exhibition also presents two other short series of photographs: A Small History of Photography, taken from the work of the photographer Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard, who in 1851 invented one of the first photo albums, and Atomium, a homage to the artist Marcel Broodthaers, who created, in 1958, a photo reportage in Bruxelles ( Belgium), on the construction of the renowned and symbolic structure of the Atomium.  

 

The exhibition intends to contribute to the defence of the documentary method in the critical analysis of cultural phenomena and the artistic products linked to these phenomena, which have a decisive role to play in the construction of national and supranational identities. 

 
Jorge Ribalta (Barcelona, 1963) is an artist, researcher and independent curator.  

 
The exhibition is made by Linea di Confine per la Fotografia Contemporanea in collaboration with Comune di Rubiera and IBC, Bologna, on the occasion of the XIII edition of Fotografia Europea, 2018 Rivoluzioni. Ribellioni, cambiamenti, utopie

IL DESERTO ROSSO 

 
Call for artists  

 
Meetings, debates on the cinema of Antonioni and presentation of works from the collections of Linea di Confine per la Fotografia Contemporanea and exhibitions with the selected authors.  

 
The director Michelangelo Antonioni is certainly the author who most affected the work of photographers, especially Americans and Europeans, starting from his early masterpieces like Il grido and L’avventura. With Il deserto rosso in 1964, his first color film, set in the industrial area of Ravenna, are dealt with issues that will be central to the photograph in the decades to follow.  

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the creation of Il deserto rosso, Linea di Confine, Rubiera (RE), in collaboration with Die Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur di Colonia (D), the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst di Lipsia (D), the Osservatorio Fotografico of Ravenna and Comune of Rubiera, mean hold a "Call for artists" open to all italian photographers for the creation and production of 12 projects with photography or other media.

 

 

On 22 November 2014, the American photographer Lewis Baltz passed away.  

A major protagonist of American photography ever since the mid '60s, in 1992 Lewis Baltz took part in the Linea di Confine project, with the series Giochi di simulazione and the permanent display of one of his works in the Public Library of Scandiano, not to mention the production the video End To End in 2000.  

The disappearance of Lewis Baltz takes place only a few months after the sudden decease of another great photographer, the German Michael Schmidt, who took part in the Linea di Confine project in 1991.  

 

 

 

 
The photo of Lewis Baltz is a John Gossage picture.

Our thanks go to the Town Council of Fiorano, owner of the works on show, and Confindustria Ceramica, Sassuolo.

Luogo e identità nella fotografia italiana contemporanea 
Edited by Roberta Valtorta. Einaudi, 2013  

 
The book is based on a project staged by Linea di Confine per la Fotografia Contemporanea in Rubiera and the Museo di Fotografia Contemporanea in Cinisello Balsamo.  

Through the contributions of Roberta Valtorta, Antonello Frongia, William Guerrieri and Matteo Balduzzi, the volume sets out to analyse the photographic works developed from the ‘60s up to the present day, interpreting their meanings in contemporary terms and examining their links with the international scene.

 

 

From 13 to 16 October 2013, 25 students from the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig (Germany) accompanied by Prof. Joachim Brohm, the well-known German photographer, will visit the Corte Ospitale in order to get to know the research experience undertaken by Linea di Confine.  

The meeting will also host Gabriele Conrath-Scholl and Claudia Schubert of Die Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur in Cologne, Guido Guidi, Paola De Pietri and a number of artists from the Welfare Space Emilia study, first presented last spring in the rooms of the Ospitale exhibition venue in Rubiera.
