Space. About a Dream is curated by Cathérine Hug and assembling fifty artists’ positions from fifty years, the show reflects the aesthetic, metaphoric and political dimensions connected with the idea of outer space.

The Impronte contemporary art gallery in Milan opens on January 20th, 2011 the Italy Premiere of The Rape of the Sabine Women, the renowned video musical by Eve Sussman and the Rufus Corporation which, since its preview in New York in 2007, has done the rounds of the major international exhibitions and festivals in London, Berlin, Moscow, Athens, Melbourne and San Francisco.

The piece is an eighty-minute allegory, freely adapted from the myth of the foundation of Rome, according to which the Sabine women were abducted to assure the future generations of Romans.

Eve Sussman and the Rufus Corporation relocate the myth to an idealized 1960s setting with a 5-act theatrical structure, a narration devoid of spoken language and filmed on locations in Greece in Athens and Hydra, and in Berlin, Germany. The modernist 60s setting suggest a concept of "a better life through design", inevitably destroyed by the chaos inherent in the promise itself.

The Rape of the Sabine Women, half way between a film and a video, is directed by Eve Sussman, the original soundtrack is by Jonathan Bepler, choreography by Claude De Serpa Soares and the costumes are by Karen Young.

As an integral part of the project, the exhibition at Impronte Gallery will also include a series of photographs, that have been already included in prestigious international collections.

The inauguration will begin at 18.30 and the exhibition will conclude on March the 19th. 2011.
