Apollo Braun Store and Night Italia Magazine are pleased to announce What A Night!, a one night event dedicated to the presentation of “Night Italia” magazine, a brand new publication about international, contemporary art and culture.

“Night Italia” was born at the end of 2007 and inspired by the New York magazine “Night”, founded in 1978 by the artist Anton Perich, painter, photographer and videomaker, who contributed to Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine.

“Night Italia” is the brainchild of the Italian artist Marco Fioramanti, who have been known and collaborated with Perich for over twenty years. The magazine is a project that aims to provide free information out of the mainstream cultural channels and to be a critical alternative to the widespread cultural conformism. Fioramanti, along with other artists and curators, designed it as a book, constituted mainly by images and texts in different languages. Its focus is underground and innovative contemporary culture, from visual arts to music, from theater to performance. “Night Italia”’s ultimate goal is to give visibility and voice to dimensions of creativity characterized by freedom and originality.

Apollo Braun’s operation shares this stand for the necessity of free expression and realizes it creatively through fashion.

What A Night! also features the display of some b/w photographs by Anton Perich: works which were included in the first issues of “Night” New York and which will create a story of the evolution of “Night” project, that this year celebrates its thirtieth anniversary. Also, during the event, two performances will take place: one by the extravagant nasty trio “The Bambi Killers” and the other one created by the magazine editor and artist Marco Fioramanti “Art Show – Art Shoe”.
