Invernomuto • Whalesland

Careof participates in the zero issue of inContemporanea, the art network, a project by the Provincia di Milano aimed at giving visibility to the rich contemporary artistic scene of Milan and promoting its knowledge among all citizens.

Invernomuto was founded in 2003 as an audio-visual experimental group. Focusing on the collapse and blending of languages, the group's work materializes in unconventional productions such as the editorial project ffwd_mag, which centers on the relationship between images and sound — a research that expands into the production of single-channel videos and the design of live-media performances.

At Careof from March 27 to April 1, Invernomuto presents Whalesland, a project born from the DVD released with the third issue of the magazine ffwd_mag, in collaboration with some of the authors connected to the project’s themes and who contributed to its realization.

The involved artists are ericailcane, Dafne Boggeri, Peter Beste, Claudia Losi, and OvO.

“In the process of creating the DVD for ffwd_mag#3 — the artists explain — where sonic and visual interventions coexist, the discussion came to focus on territory, and in particular on signs and signals engraved upon it, reflecting on the trace left by a ritual. The territory examined is a place called the ‘buco della balena’ (whale’s hole), still rich in fossils of mammals dating back about five million years. From this stems a video intervention, whose format balances between fiction and documentary language; this contribution features a soundtrack composed of two audio tracks created by musicians John Duncan and OvO.”

The Whalesland project, in its natural evolution, intends to manifest itself each time in multiple versions (video installations, video clips, environments) that refer back to the same imaginary and research territory, opened with the first form of the project included in the DVD of ffwdmag#3. The exhibition designed for the spaces of C/O careof represents one of the possible forms that Whalesland can assume. The show involves other authors already engaged in the realization of ffwdmag#3.
