BASILICO. L’INFINITO È LÀ IN FONDO.
Stefano Santamato, Italy, 2023, 62’

Introduction by director Stefano Santamato
A magnificent documentary that, ten years after his death, retraces the main stages of the human and professional career of Gabriele Basilico (1944 – 2013). Starting with the first photos taken in his youth up to his last works in the 2000s, there are many voices guiding the viewer on this journey that succeeds in conveying the art and passion of one of the greatest Italian photographers ever.
The film is presented on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the MAST, with which Gabriele Basilico collaborated by photographing the building from 2009 to 2012.

LINDA FREGNI NAGLER
PLAYGROUNDS AND OTHER STORIES. FROM PLAY TO RESEARCH AND VICE VERSA
In conversation with Francesco Zanot
Starting from her own work, which involves both the creation of new images and the use of pre-existing photographic materials, Linda Fregni Nagler will discuss in this talk the relationship between photography and reality, and in particular some of the typicalities of photographic representation, which she constantly observes and investigates within her works. Through a practice that interweaves artistic production, research, editing and collecting, Fregni Nagler questions her own medium and role in a process of continuous exchange and incessant verification.

PERFORMANCE
MAST.AUDITORIUM
THE SLIDERS
Lorenzo Manfredini trombone
Federico Pierantoni trombone
Filippo Vignato trombone
An unusual trio of only trombones challenges the canonical instrumental combinations, creating a transfigured sound effect, suspended between a musical discourse reduced to the bone and the rich expressive and effettistic possibilities of the brass instrument.
The three Sliders are curious experimenters who also draw on the fundamental languages of blues and folk, venture into the territories of contemporary music and can also perform a chorale. The Sliders is a miniaturised orchestra, as shiny as the metal alloy of the instruments, that plays the card of surprise and, unusually, also that of divertissement.
