UNDER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS

Experience works by the Italian artist Giacomo Raffaelli at the Lounge

8 May 2015


‘The unit of the mass is the kilogram; it is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram.’

– Then how heavy is really a kilogram?

The artistic practice of Atelier Hotel Pro Forma’s current artist-in-residence Giacomo Raffaelli explores scientific research. Through the use of photography, video and text he examines the idea of measurement as well as the aesthetics of devices used in the scientific field.

Throughout the last year Giacomo has been collaborating with a team of scientists at the NPL – National Physical Laboratory (UK), who are attempting to redefine the international kilogram prototype.
In Copenhagen the research went on, having access to the laboratory of the DFM – Danish Fundamental Metrology, where the Danish copy of the kilogram prototype is stored.

Combining video-footage, 3D modeling and archival research, this stage of the project has led to the production of new visual and text-based works. Engaging with questions of knowledge production in cross-disciplinary contexts, an editorial project and a lecture will be presented, together with a new video installation and previous works.

LOUNGE: UNDER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS
Oplev værker af Giacomo Raffaelli (IT) på forårets sidste Lounge

“Enheden af masse er et kilogram; Det er lig med massen af den internationale prototype af et kilogram.”

– Så hvor tungt er et kilogram i virkeligheden?

Atelier Hotel Pro Formas aktuelle artist in residence Giacomo Raffaelli arbejder kunstnerisk med naturvidenskabelig forskning. Gennem brug af fotografi, video og tekst undersøger han ideen om absolutte måleenheder såvel som æstetikken forbundet med de redskaber videnskaben benytter – som f.eks. en 3D printer.

Giacomo har igennem et år samarbejdet med et hold forskere ved NLP – National Physical Laboratory (UK), som i øjeblikket arbejder på at redefinere den internationale prototype af kilogrammet som enhed. Projektet Under Specified Conditions, som har taget form i løbet af hans residency, ligger i forlængelse af dette.

Under opholdet hos Atelier Hotel Pro Forma har han bl.a. haft adgang til DFM – Danmarks National Metrologiinstituts laboratorium, hvor den danske kopi af kilogrammet er opbevaret. Ved at kombinere videooptagelser, 3D modellering og research har han skabt nye visuelle og tekstbaserede værker.

Til Loungen kan du opleve de nye værker, herunder videoinstallationer, en publikation, samt overvære et foredrag med kunstneren selv med mulighed for at stille spørgsmål bagefter.
