ECCO ALCUNI BRANI DI INTERVISTE DEPOSITATE DAGLI ARTISTI NELL'ARCHIVIO DI BEDS IN ART
Navigando about Jen
the New York-based Jen DeNike’s "Vampire Portraits," staged scenes of adolescent subjects lying as if dead, with sloppy ropes of blood oozing from their necks . Squarely within the tradition of "let’s play dress-up" photography, the "Portraits" nevertheless exude an undercurrent of real uneasiness about the darker side of pent-up teenage aggression.
SPEAKING WITH Jen
I am Jen Denike I' m here in naples because I made the vampire portraits and it was about a dream that I have 3 years ago ....I wake up in my mother house where I grow up in Arizona and I was teen ager again and I was a vampire and I photografs my victims...
Navigando about Peter Coffin
A greenhouse installed inside the gallery is a performance space in which musicians and sound artists communicate with plants. In this work, no attempt is made to validate the evidence that exists to support the phenomenon that plants respond to music, rather the performers are there simply to engage intuitively with the plants. A soundtrack designed for the plants' enjoyment plays when performers are not interacting directly with the installation.
In hello headspace alla galleria Fonti Peter Coffin indaga i processi mentali, attivando una sorta di misticismo nei confronti delle icone della storia dell’arte. Un gioco interattivo sulla memoria, l’interpretazione e l’associazione creativa(dal comunicato stampa)
SPEAKING WITH Peter ABOUT silly putty
I like it because it feel like a skin....like organic natural body ...this pices are impotant for me because any time i make a print...this looks like the brain and looks like the image is imprinted on the brain like when you have a memory of same images in your mind
Birgit Megerle
In termini legali zona grigia significa un’area che non puo' essere definita legalmente, cioe' non e' possibile decidere se una situazione sia buona o cattiva, bianca o nera, dolce o aggressiva.
Zona Grigia is a term in the language of law and Jiurisdition.It referse to a case wich can not be defined completely as legal or illegal.
La tecnica della “Grisaille", un dipinto o un disegno nei quali vengono utilizzati solo toni di grigio, e' stata spesso eseguita nel Medio Evo e nel Rinascimento per simulare delle sculture nei pannelli esterni degli altari.

Willem Weismann
I will try to answer the questions now.
Who are you? Willem Weismann
Who is your family?I have one sister who also lives in London. My father was born in New Guinea and he is half indonesian half dutch
and my mother is from the south of Holland, she is dutch
What moves you? Can you be more specific about this question?
Why did you come to Naples? Because I was doing a soloshow with 404 Gallery. i was already there for a groupshow in the PAN
What do I think of Naples? I like Naples very much. It is a very unique place and it has a very unique energy and atmosphere.
I like it that not everything is perfect and that there is so much chaos, it makes the city very alive and breathing.
About the artscene, I don't know it that well, but to me it feels very positive as well. People are very interested and there seems to be a lot of things going on, I think a lot more than you would expect.
What is the future of the city?
Do you mean only Naples or all cities in general?
What does the future you want look like?
Ehm, I can only speak for myself. I don't want to say how the world should be for everyone, just for myself.
I think I just want a fairer world, more balanced and more equal.
What is the most important subject in the arts that needs to be talked about and why?
I don't think there is one subject that is the most important. I think it is important that every artist wants to talk
about something else. I don't want all artists to start being political or just esthetical. I think it is important
that all parts of life are being represented in some way.
Because also a lot of people have different expectations as what they want from art.
