Antimatter – or the lack of it – remains one of the biggest mysteries of science. Matter and its counterpart are identical except for opposite charge, and they annihilate when they meet. At the Big Bang, matter and antimatter should have been produced in equal amounts. However, we know that our world is made up of matter: antimatter seems to have disappeared. To find out what has happened to it, scientists employ a range of methods to investigate whether a tiny difference in the properties of matter and antimatter could point towards an explanation.
Contrary to our expectations perhaps, eighteenth-century Venetian view painting was both rich and varied. It was also a form of painting almost entirely shaped by the tastes and aspirations of foreign visitors to the city. The eighteenth-century Venice of Canaletto and his rivals was, to almost every visitor, a place of wonder.
Eine is most notable for his alphabet lettering on shop shutters in London's Shoreditch, Brick Lane and Broadway Market areas. Some of these letters have been mapped for ease of finding.[3] He has also taken his lettering to the streets of Paris, Stockholm, Hastings and Newcastle upon Tyne. Prior to becoming involved in commercial graffiti, Eine was a very famous and highly credible writer in the underground London graffiti scene. [...] Eine first came to prominence in the "commercial" graffiti scene through his symbiotic partnership with London graffiti artist Banksy; through Eine, Banksy was able to access the underground scene and through Banksy Eine accessed the commercial world. Impressed by the work of Banksy Eine chose to focus on "commercial" graffiti.

Per la prima volta in una fiera d’arte moderna e contemporanea saranno ospitate - in una specifica area riservata - associazioni, fondazioni, collettivi e spazi no-profit presenti sul territorio nazionale, che si distinguono per le loro peculiari attività di ricerca e sperimentazione in ambito contemporaneo. Independents è un progetto ideato da Fuoribiennale per la VI edizione di ArtVerona, in cui le realtà invitate hanno a disposizione uno spazio nel cuore dei due padiglioni della fiera, per tutta la durata della manifestazione.
ArtVerona inaugura una nuova sezione, nata dalla proficua collaborazione con il Teatro Stabile di Verona ed il suo direttore Paolo Valerio. Tra le proposte della rassegna, sabato 16 ottobre al Teatro Nuovo Antonio Albanese proporrà Recital, che racconta, con corrosiva comicità e ritmo serrato, un mondo popolato da personaggi tipici del nostro tempo; domenica 17 ottobre la compagnia rivelazione Babilonia Teatri, vincitrice del Premio Speciale Ubu 2009, incontrerà il pubblico nello Spazio Aletti in Fiera, all’interno del fitto programma di approfondimenti FaceToFace, e alle 21, al Teatro Nuovo di Verona, presenterà una summa antologica del loro lavoro con The Best of Babilonia.

txt:Don Giovanni in Venice 23 > 25 September Palazzo Pisani, Conservatorio B. Marcello of Venice Labyrinth Opera
The Don Giovanni by Mozart becomes Don Giovanni a Venezia, a totally new opera installation that inaugurates the 54th Festival and presents itself as a synthesis of the themes running through it. A concentration of many simultaneous events – musical, scenic, theatrical, visual – dispersed throughout the spaces of the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello in Venice and cyclically “switched on”, Don Giovanni a Venezia disrupts our perceptive habits and creates interference between different eras. Conceived by director Luca Francesconi, Don Giovanni a Venezia is a singular experiment in production with young artists from the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello and the Accademia di Belle Arti who will measure themselves on the professional stage against the singers and musicians of one of the major opera theatres, the Teatro La Fenice, against the composers, soloists and actors involved in this operation. A complex stage organization, engaging over 130 artistic and technical professionals, made possible by the joint commitment of four Venetian institutions: the participants in this project by the Music Biennale are the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello, which not only put its young musicians and composers to work, but also offered its historic headquarters at Palazzo Pisani in Campo Santo Stefano, one of the most fascinating Venetian palaces, as the venue for the performance; the Teatro La Fenice, which involved its entire choir and orchestra ensemble, and opened its storerooms to lend the costumes and props; and the Accademia di Belle Arti, which will create the sets for Palazzo Pisani.
Titled Don Giovanni and the man of stone, the Festival refers not only to the famous opera by Mozart, but to one of the central myths of western culture, the myth of Don Giovanni: within the conflict between human finiteness and its aspiration to eternity, between the body and the spirit, reverberates the relationship between the immortality of the work of art and the inexorable breath of time, between the written and the oral, between tradition and modernity. These themes weave through the 54th International Festival of Contemporary Music and find their synthesis in the opening event, the opera-installation Don Giovanni a Venezia.
