UNIDEE

Posted on | by Dromedian

UNIDEE presents the fall term programme of workshops, residencies and conferences titled Modes of Instituting.

 

Initiated by artist Michelangelo Pistoletto in 1999, UNIDEE is the higher educational programme for art and social change of Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto (Italy).

 

Bridging the Arte Povera ’60s movement to the third millennium anthropocenic challenge, UNIDEE and Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto continue developing research, making practices visible and experimenting methodologies in the field of Socially Engaged Art. After years of researching methods of engaging art practices into the societal fabric, in 2012 Cittadellarte launched the Demopraxy research project, opening various sites for social change in Cuba, Rome, Melbourne, Milan and other places around the world. The function of Demopraxy (where the term praxis — practice — replaces the term kratos, power) is to rethink the system of representation in current democracy politics: the project connects civil organizations (associations, foundations, companies, public and private bodies, commercial enterprises and nonprofit institutions, etc) forming micro systems of government to find solutions for the greatest challenges of our time.

 

In line with the mission of Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of UNIDEE, the fall programme Modes of Instituting invites artists who invented their own platforms and organizations to intervene in the social realm.

 

 

Curated by 2018–19 visiting curator Valerio Del Baglivo, the programme aims at rethinking how we can establish ethical principles to build institutions not only as centres of power, hierarchy, control and discipline.
Since February 2019 UNIDEE has founded Accademia UNIDEE.

 

 

A group of eight young artists and curators from Italy and beyond have been selected to follow the workshops and produce a final document: Agil Abdullayev, Gaia Di Lorenzo, Nicholas Ferrara, Giulia Floris, Carlotta Sofia Grassi, Majd Nasrallah, Yates Norton and Carolina Ongaro.

 

 

November 8–10, 2019
Kobe Matthys (The Agency) and Stefan Nowotny
November 11–13, 2019
Annette Krauss and Yolande Van de Heide
November 16–18, 2019
Janna Graham and Valeria Graziano
November 19–21, 2019
Bik Van der Pol

 

 

Additionally, beside the workshop programme, a series of conferences on streaming will be organized with Directors of Art Institutions in Europe to discuss forms of instituting otherwise: Charles Esche (Director Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven), Melanie Bouteloup (Director Betonsalon – Centre d’art et de recherche, Paris), Cecilia Widenheim (Director Tensta Konsthall, Stockholm) and Francis Mckee (Director CCA Glasgow).

 

 

 

Moreover, continuing our call for action in times of climate breakdown, on November 26-29 artist duo Cooking Sections will lead a workshop titled CLIMAVORE: Losing Cultures, a long-term project to investigate new forms of production and consumption in times of climate crisis.

Travel – Horizons, Frontiers, Generations

Posted on | by Dromedian

The side events continue for the exhibition Travel – Horizons, Frontiers, Generations

Sunday 17 November two free workshops held by two authoritative journalists from the NEOS Travel Journalists Association.

1 – Writing workshop: “The journey” on paper, video, radio and social media by Danilo Poggio. Meeting at Palazzo Ferrero from 10.00 to 13.00.

Writing about a trip doesn’t just mean writing on paper. But how do you tell a journey or rather an experience? How many ways can I do it?

In a world that has endlessly multiplied the means of communication, the word remains the essential element of every story. But it is necessary to know how to decline, adopting different languages ​​and communicative styles, based on our audience.

The workshop aims to provide the essential elements to exploit the many possibilities that are offered today. From the article in a prestigious magazine, to the post on Instagram, from the light-hearted intervention on a national radio to a video for YouTube or TikTok, the communicator must know how to move with ease and flexibility, always trying to speak to the hearts of people…

2 – Photography workshop: “The story of the city at night” by the photographer Mimmo Torrese, a passionate connoisseur of contemporary art and a subtle observer of the things that surround him: from 4.00pm to 10.00pm, meeting at Palazzo Ferrero.

A meeting on the representation of a place illuminated by artificial light and frequented by the people of the night.

Designed for both advanced and entry-level amateurs, even with only smartphones, they want to tackle technical and compositional issues linked to a branch of photography. The mini course consists of two moments, one theoretical and one practical.

Reservations required on: 388 5647455 – info@palazzoferrero.it
