IN VENICE, LA FENICE THEATRE: WOODY ALLEN AND HIS NEW ORLEANS JAZZ BAND

office — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:02:29 +0000

30th March 2010 - at 9 pm
Venice - La Fenice Theatre

Any fan of Woody Allen’s films knows that the comedy legend has always had a special place in his heart for jazz music-particularly the old Dixieland sound. What you might not know is that Woody is an avid jazz musician himself (the director plays clarinet) and his band, the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band, has been going strong for years.

Woody Allen has taken his clarinet beyond the status of prop or hobby with his famous Monday-night New York club gigs , and the New Orleans jazz septet will be now at the prestigious La Fenice Theatre in Venice with its bespectacled celebrity front-man playing it absolutely straight.

As a musician, he innovatively plays the clarinet and replicates to perfection the sounds of jazz from its origins, supported by an encyclopaedic musical knowledge that is evident in the colours of his identifiable musical selections. A can’t miss evening.

Tickets: from Euro 30,00 to Euro 90,00

JIM HODGES - LOVE, ECCETERA FEB. 5TH - APR. 5TH 2010

office — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:31:10 +0000

A tribute to an exceptional american artist, Jim Hodges, with his first personal exhibition in Italy.
Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in collaboration with Centre Pompidou Paris, Musée national d’Art Moderne and Camden Arts Centre London, offers to the public an original collection of 60 works, where drawing, poor materials or rich ones, as fine silver or gold thread, merge into a - sometimes very simple and some others sophisticated - melting pot which approaches big themes such as love, life, death, fragility or time.

ENERGY FOR GREEN PORTS - EXHIBITION CONGRESS

office — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:40:11 +0000

On February 4th and 5th an Exhibition Congress will take place in the exhibition area of the Cruise Terminal of Venice, as an important date for stimulating debate among companies, researchers, academics and technical experts on new technologies and solutions for using ports and harbors to produce renewable energy.

What energy sources of low environmental impact can be used in ports? And how can we efficiently and sustain ably use them? These are the focal points of “Energy for Green Ports”, the new exhibition‐congress taking place in Venice (Italy) on the 4th and 5th of February 2010 in the Conference Centre and the exhibition area of the Cruise Terminal of Venice.

Organized by VTP Events, a company owned by Venezia Terminal Passeggeri S.p.A. (which has been managing the passenger terminal since 1997), this event provides a significant meeting opportunity for companies, researchers, sector operators, academics and technicians who want to find out more about the new technologies and solutions available to produce renewable energy in port areas.

It is a highly topical subject as ports occupy large surface areas. Also, in light of the new European, national and regional rules, these areas can be exploited for building innovative energy systems as resources which supply power to not only the port areas and their related transport means (electric wharfs used to power vessels moored with their engines off, allowing sizeable reductions in emissions and noise pollution), but also the vicinity, as is already happening in some pilot projects.

“Energy for Green Ports” is divided into two sections:

A conference programme with an international panel of speakers who will be updating participants on the latest topical environmental issues. The programme includes sessions on: “Planning energy supplies and consumption”, “Costs and Benefits of mature alternative energy sources”, “New technologies in renewable energy and their uses”, “Roll‐out Strategies for the Green Ports” and “Setting up a panel for a national Green Ports programme”.

An exhibition hall devoted to technological innovations in renewable energy, with an area concentrating on “green” technologies (solar‐thermal, photovoltaic, wind, hydrogen, biomasses and biogas), and one on low‐consumption building construction solutions, micro generation and teleheating. There will also be a review of ideas dedicated to the world’s new ports with a view to matching environmental awareness with energy recycling and saving.

The event has the patronage of Venice’s Port Authority, the Veneto Region, Assiterminal (Italian Port Terminals Association), Medcruise (The Association of Mediterranean Cruise Ports), Confitarma (Italian Ship owners Confederation), Assomarinas (Italian Tourist Ports Association) and Assonautica (Italian Yachting Association).

800 UNPUBLISHED DRAWINGS FROM THE VENETIAN 19TH CENTURY

office — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 12:59:20 +0000

The collection of drawings from the Venetian nineteenth century at the Correr Museum is one of the biggest on the graphic scene of that century. The Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia is presenting a vast exhibition of these drawings at the Correr, most of which are on display for the very first time, including works by artists such as Caffi, Pividor, Guardi, Moro, Bosa, Vervloet to name but a few.

The works on display all in some way connected to Venice: either the subject of the works is Venetian, or they were conceived and completed in Venice, or they are about Venice, inspired by the city and its monumental and social aspects as a subject of exercise or poetical sensations. The Venice that appears in the nineteenth-century drawings of the Correr is surprising: both modern and ancient, distracted and suffering, secret and well-known; it reveals the nerves and muscles of a body in suffering that refuses to yield, full of life and dynamic.

Above all, there are outbursts of reality, of what is true, going beyond rhetoric and regrets, beyond nostalgia and laments. A Venice that is unusual and full of fascination during the years of Ruskin and the first big, controversial restoration projects, the affirmation of tourists seeking sensations that differ from those of the Grand Tour of the Enlightenment. It is a season of studies and research; a nineteenth century that is starving for history and industry, contradictory and fragile, unsure and headstrong. In a word, Modern.

The exhibition was organized in collaboration with the Marciana National Library and the University of Venice (IUAV) and offers a compelling multimedia section.
