Dark Days, White Nights: Video Installation at Bar Veloce
Dark Days, White Nights, an innovative video installation designed by Gabriel Winer for Bar Veloce, is taking us on a trip to 1960's Italy. The installation re-edits, re-mixes, and intertwines the films of Michaelangelo Antonioni and Luchino Visconti, making a new movie every night. While you enjoy a glass of wine, the film moves between stretches of day and night as the characters struggle with love, lust, modernism, and the city. Come back tomorrow night, and you'll see something completely different.
Made possible with the generous cooperation of Criterion Collection / Janus Films.
Stop by the Chelsea or East Village location any night of the week from 5pm-3am to check it out:

Fusing an Italian-style paninoteca (panini bar) with a modern wine bar, its goal was to deliver exciting, reasonably priced Italian wine and food to discerning New Yorkers. That being said, the focus never strayed from the fact that Bar Veloce is a BAR, not a café, lounge or restaurant. European-styled and modeled as a "fast bar", a pit-stop, owner and visionaire Frederick E. Twomey found great inspiration for Bar Veloce during his time spent in Europe, finding himself drawn to the counters of casual bars for refreshment while en route. http://www.barveloce.com
