Performance by Nam Hong in the context of the 56th Venice Biennale
Studio Abba presented a performance by Nam Hong, “La vie vécue” in the context of the 56th Venice Biennale. Nam Hong participates in Personal Structures - Crossing Borders at Palazzo Mora, premises of the European Cultural Centre. The exhibition will be open for the duration of the Biennale from 9 May to 22 November 2015. Among the artists who are also exhibiting in Personal Structures are Daniel Buren, Yoko Ono, Joseph Kosuth, Karl Stengel and Richard Long.
Nam Hong’s performance reveals the processes that generate a rotational motion. By abolishing the boundaries between art and life, when she is singing, dancing, throwing ink and acrylic, glue, and burned pieces of rice paper on the canvas, dressed in traditional Korean costume, Nam Hong exalts the act of painting. Her whole being, body and soul, is engaged in this act and in turn she invites the viewer to participate in the cycle with her and embrace life and death through the emblematic rose petals. Indeed, in the performance where she starts to add burnt rice paper to the canvas, she summons the distress of death or separation and thus looks back to her childhood but also beyond to new life: the debris and ash from the burnt paper become a new material, a promise of resurrection.
Nam Hong wears traditional Korean costumes that have been reinterpreted in a contemporary manner and that were created especially for her performances by well-known Korean designer André Kim, who has recently passed away.
Beyond the fire and ash, an inner voice has always guided Nam Hong, a voice that comes from a multi-thousand year old rich Korean Shamanic tradition. Nam Hong’s paintings, installations and performances create a bridge between the East and West.
The artist’s recurring themes do not represent the human being, however both her childhood is fundamental for her artistic thought processes (her youth was deeply rooted in a family mystery and the death of her beloved grandmother) as is her own body. In her paintings, she is much more interested in space and nature, in the repetitive cycle of life and death of the trees, the butterflies and birds that attempt to break free from the canvas limits or the physical enormity of space around the mountains, such as in La Montagne. She concentrates, for example, on the metamorphosis of a butterfly, the alternation of the seasons. The images of butterflies, candlelight and paper fragments reduced to ashes such as in Le papillon, reveal the mysterious cycle of life and death, the origins of existence that eventually lead to extinction.
The ancient sounds of the drums during her performances and the fire overlapping objects and destroying the collage, present a contemporary artistic language that also looks at aspects such as the ancient poetry of nature, the painful concern for natural resources and ecological sensitivity. The passion for life and the poetry in the ashes are the only true theatre of existence, while life seems just a dream.
Palazzo Mora, Strada Nuova, 3659, 30121 Venice, 9 May - 22 November, opening hours 10am-6pm, closed Tuesdays.

Elesa castors and wheels, suitable for moving trolleys and equipment
Elesa, world leader in the production of industrial components, presents the new industrial wheels featured in its catalog, suitable for moving trolleys and equipment for manual or mechanical handling.
Monza, May 26rd, 2015 - Elesa, worldwide leading company in the production of components for mechanical industry, presents the industrial wheels included in its product catalog.
Specifically, the range includes polyurethane, rubber and technopolymer wheels, ideal for mounting on trolleys or on equipment for manual (up to 4 km / h) or mechanical handling(up to 16 km / h).
Several features make these products a true flagship for italian industrial production: we will review some of them, the most significant and important ones.
The industrial wheels produced by Elesa are characterized primarily by their high ductility, since the differentiation of the materials which constitute the metal body enables different load capacities: factor, this, which makes them suitable for many different uses.
Another aspect that makes them a real world class excellence is the quality of the materials used in their manufacture; quality certified by the numerous laboratory tests that have been submitted, all conducted to the highest and strictest standards existing internationally.
The variety of use, which makes them unique in their kind, provides solutions for all types of applications, both indoors and outdoors, even in the presence of obstacles along the way or special chemicals. The wheel diameter varies from 40 to 300 mm, while the dynamic range can reach 25,000 N. The many possibilities of use depend on the fact that the types of support differ according to the load to be supported: from this point of view, Elesa wheels can perfectly match to light, heavy and extra heavy loads.
Finally, it's useful to remember that the trolley wheels by Elesa may have also brackets in stainless steel, which makes them even more resistant and suitable for applications which require a high resistance to corrosion.
The entire range of Elesa industrial wheels can be viewed on the web page http://www.elesa.com/en/castors-and-wheels: here you can find the full range and filter products in the portfolio according to the type of material they are made of.
