Archaeology from the Antonioni sets will become a photographic exhibition with a musical inauguration from Boosta, while a NOI video installation delves into the uprisings of ’68. October 4 will be the next edition of Audiovisiva, with a concert from Gioventù Musicale d’Italia, accompanied by a video-performance from the videomaker Vincent Moon.
LAIL ARAD & JF ROBITAILLE IN CONCERT//OCTOBER 9
Soft lighting, sofas and armchairs as well as tables for those wishing to dine. BASE’s main hall will play host to a date on the We Got It Coming tour from duo Lail Arad & JF Robitaille. She is one of the most interesting voices on the British indie folk scene, while he is a Canadian following in the musical footsteps of Dylan, Lennon and even The Temptations.
