AfTERfOUR (ff) was created in April 2003 in occasion of the seminar “It’s only Rock and Roll” run by Ninì Sgambati and Franz Iandolo in the quartapittura lab of the Accademia di Belle Arti of Naples. It was a group project inspired by Andy Warhol’s Factory. The first work was a live sculpture of five young women – guitars, bass, vocals, drums and a round neon light – playing Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground’s music. “Casual musicians, artists for passion”: 5 visual artists played the role of musicians – “it is as if Andy Warhol played and Lou Reed painted”.
AfTERfOUR (ff) was the space between visual art and music. It was an artistic project based on the power of communication and expression of daily life, investigating into the usual and the ordinary with a humanistic approach.

AfTERfOUR (ff) nacque nell’aprile 2003, in occasione del seminario “It’s Only Rock’n Roll” tenuto da Ninì Sgambati e Franz Iandolo nei laboratori quartapittura dell’ Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli. E’ stato un progetto di gruppo ispirato alla factory di Andy Warhol. Lavoro di partenza: 5 giovani donne, chitarra, basso, voce, batteria e un neon tondo, una scultura vivente che, citando l’esperienza della factory di Andy Warhol, suona i brani di Lou Reed e dei The Velvet Underground. “Musiciste per caso, artiste per passione”, le 5 visualartists s’improvvisarono musiciste per la scultura suonante, “é come se Andy Warhol avesse suonato o Lou Reed avesse dipinto…”
AfTERfOUR (ff) spazio tra arte e musica, svolgeva le sue ricerche sulle potenzialità comunicative ed espressive dei fenomeni collettivi, indagando nei luoghi del consueto, dell’ordinario con approccio umanistico.
