Giuseppe Chiari | La Luce  is a 15 minutes audiovisual installation that Tempo Reale designed in 2018 interpreting an original score by Fluxus artist Giuseppe Chiari (La luce, 1966, published in Musica madre, Giampaolo Prearo Editore, Milan, 1973).

«First created for Artissima 2018 and initially set up at Turin’s Pinacoteca Agnelli, this is a new and site-specific version of this artist’s ante litteram minimalist composition. The installation offers a dialogue between gestures of noise and silence, duplicated in the relationship between light and darkness, triggering a reflection on the very meaning of music. Loudspeakers and light sources, placed within the dark space, are activated according to a specific score, thus creating a specific dramaturgical journey. All sound materials are drawn from the domain of electricity or from special sound landscapes».

«The idea of the work comes from researches by Marco Baldini, Daniela Fantechi, and Luisa Santacesaria for a concert within the third edition of TRK. Sound Club, in collaboration with Frittelli Arte Contemporanea, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the composer’s death, and was developed at a later time in an earlier installation form on the occasion of Secret Florence 2018 with a sound and light project by Francesco Pellegrino. In that same autumn, a new version in installation form was conceived and composed by Tempo Reale for Artissima 2018, created for the Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin, and then redesigned for the Sala Bartoletti of the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino on the occasion of Maggio Elettrico / LXXXII Festival of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and for the basement of the Teatro Valli of Reggio Emilia on the occasion of Festival Aperto 2019. This version of the work is still an ongoing production of Tempo Reale, with light and sound design curated by Agnese Banti and Francesco Giomi and technical experience curated by Francesco Canavese and Leonardo Rubboli».
