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.

This darkly enchanting film offers an interpretation of Crow, by post-war/pre-flower power poet Ted Hughes. It is made from animating hundreds of photographs, all amateur snapshots found in flea markets and junk shops. Lee digs beneath their innocent, familiar surfaces to reveal an extremely dark view of the world and of humanity.

On the occasion of the celebration of 20 years of the association, Galeria Senda wantedto look back for a moment. A wake-up call, a moment of reflection.In the words of Pink Floyd, a message to read backwards, which makes Senda do actual physical exercise and go back in time, briefly reoccupying the space where it was born, in the Pasaje Mercader 4. A return to the womb, the place where the first seed germinated. We found fertile soil that you need in order to reach in the turbulent present.Remembering the beginning, the first steps and that state of purity, almost innocence, anticipation of  an adventure is being  born. Free of charge, free of commitments, where only dreams guide the actions. We seek that state f to review our today in order to change tomorrow.We propose a selection of artists from different nationalities, which, as in our beginnings that are to help us in this exercise to progress and break those invisible borders.Talking to them and the public, we want to look forward. We present a selection of young artists, a proposal is not closed, which bet, creators to DDD (discover, defend, We spread). And while we are grateful to the memory all those people we have been dealing with  over the years, all friendships are built and the energy that today guide and encourages us to continue forward.
