“The project Luci in the Sky – (luci, in Italian means lights), started in 2007, when visual artist Vittoria Chierici met the director of an international group of sky watchers who were recording special meteor phenomena. The director of the program gave her some of these very short scenes. Most of them were frames that were discarded because they were scientifically useless. Since then, Vittoria has been interviewing different composers, in order to find collaborators for this new art film project. In the summer of 2011, she gave ANA Milosavljevic the commission, choosing her to be both composer and performer of the original music for Luci in the Sky.The film is based on tiny luminous points of light moving the sky background in nocturnal variations which contrast with close ups of night creatures who came incautamente near the camera lens. The contrast between a distant, unpredictable world and the closer, more human attempts of flying away are the content cues that filmmaker Yuko Takebe had to consider when editing this film as a multi – projection video. This program will have it´s premiere at April, 14th – May 6th, 2012, during a  solo exhibition from Vittoria Chierici at Le Torri dell’Acqua, a new contemporary art museum in Budrio, near Bologna, Italy. The show will include several pieces from Chierici, painted from 1992 to 2010 and a new version of the video Luci in the Sky. “

In the attachment below, the official invitation to a public event at the Museo della Guerra, in Rovereto, Italy. A large piece that I painted  in 1996 will be permanently exhibited in this beautiful castle built in 13th century. The museum was founded  in 1921  to locate and organize repertoires from the First World War. Please, visit  also the links  to have more information about this museum and the city of Rovereto, a beautiful town near Trento, in the North of Italy, theater of a cruel trench warfare during the First World War.

Here is the pdf of the article  in English.

” The painters were the working class of Soho. In order to understand Burt Barr’s cultural context it may be useful to mention a few of them. Besides the most famous ones such as “Bob” Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, there were many others who were young and still unknown such as Chuck Close, Lynda Benglis, Elizabeth Murray, Brice Marden and Richard Serra. Like some of them, Burt Barr cannot be classified as a follower of a specific movement. If in appearance he brings to mind some aspects of Pop Art or Minimalism, it is because he adhere to neither of them.
Burt Barr has been working as an artist for about twenty years. “I started late”, he says, “when everyone else was already retiring”. It all began by chance with a video camera borrowed from a family member. Over the years he went through the various formats, from magnetic tape up to digital, while maintaining a solid cinematographic “aesthetics”. Burt in fact shoots with a video camera but his videos bring to mind the cinema, in the same way that an aphorism blends poetry and philosophy.” Vittoria M Chierici ( translated by Pina Piccolo, 2011)

In the article Art from War, I have been interviewed by writer  Anna Hilbe. The article was published on Leggere Donna, in 2002. In this interview, I explain why I have been painting on such a hostile subject as battles, for more then 10 years.

I found Painting… so I could hang my ideas on a nail.  At some point you have to stop going around holding your hat in your hand. An interview by the director of Dialoghi Internazionali, published in 2007, in which I explain some of my experiences of  working both in Italy and in New York.
