AP207.S1.2013.PR03
Description:
The project series documents the film "Vive l'architecture" produced by Pettena in 2013. The film shows a series of religious Renaissance paintings, however, the human subjects were removed leaving only the architectural elements of the paintings. "Usually considered just a support and background to the scene represented, architecture is instead a subject itself, and a fundamental one, of the painting." [1] The project series contains digital versions of the film, a film still, and a project description in Italian.

Projet
AP207.S1.1970.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Pettena's performance "Cancellazione di uno stato". This performance, understood as a visual poem, is described in written instructions. The performance begins with two jets flying over an American state, each one takes off from opposite corners of a state and meet in the center, forming an 'X' over the state. The flights are meant to occur at the specific moment when the performance can be captured by a weather satellite. The images captured by the satellite would then be broadcasted on the weather forecast on national stations. Pettena used a similar idea for a proposal entitled "Imprisonment" for the Graz "Trigon '71" competition. The project series contains the typescript instructions for the performance and a project description in English and in Italian.

Description:
This project series documents The Pig "Carosello Italiano", a film made in the winter of 1967-1968 by Gianni Pettena with archivale footage and shots by Pettena himself. The film is "a comment on the violence of power and consumerism". [1] It consists of a montage of violent scenes, like the Vietnam war, protest demonstrations, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, intersected with images of "mass society's rituals: traffic, shopping and parades in costume"[2]. The project series contains a video recording on VHS of the film, project descriptions in English and in Italian, and a digital version of the film. Source: [1] [2] Marco Scotini, editor.
