Luigi Ontani came to prominence in Italy and internationally during the late 1960s and 70s with a series of performances and exhibitions. His dandy persona was deployed to re-enact a series of 'tableaux vivants' from folklore, fairy tales, mythology, art and history. From restaging Christopher Columbus' voyage traversing the Atlantic to reconstructing the camp postures and poses from paintings by Guido Reni, Ontani's idiosyncratic work represents a radical counter-position to that adopted by Arte Povera. The screening will be followed by a conversation between Ontani and artist Cerith Wyn Evans.
