SEMINARI

Seminar 1 | PRACTICE – BASED RESEARCH
26-29 June 2024

Curated by Alessandra Ferrini and Bernardo Follini.

The Practice-based research seminar aims to explore the relationship between research and practice in artistic and curatorial contexts and in the context of academic or independent studies, reflecting on the proliferation of practices in contemporary art that are located within the framework of academic research and the proliferation of critical modes in academic studies towards theoretical knowledge detached from practice.

Seminar 2 | RELAZIONARSI AL PRESENTE / RELATING TO THE PRESENT
16-19 July 2024

Curated by Almanac Inn, Cripta747 and Mucho Mas! 

In today’s changing and complex context, it is crucial to reflect on one’s own positioning and how artistic practice relates to the present and its surroundings. By exploring the concepts of community and belonging, the module aims to examine the political and plural potential of art through a reflection that moves from the personal to the collective. How can an art project enter into dialogue with a community? What is the role of activism in artistic debate and how do we define the relationship between art and social change? Relating to the Present invites participants to explore these questions through theoretical reflection and practical exercises.

Seminar 4 | ARTE E SCRITTURE IN ATTO
24-26 October

Curated by Giorgina Bertolino and Vittoria Martini.

Art and writings in action aims to address, explore and discuss the practice of writing as an evolving tool at the intersection of historiographic, critical, theoretical and artistic production. The seminar focuses on hybrid and experimental forms of art texts, those that question and break the boundaries between non-fiction, fiction, poetry, performance and mobilise academic canons, sedimented formulas of art writing and patriarchal logics that permeate language. Arte e scritture in atto explores art writing as a practice and as a medium, starting from the positions, projects and texts of authorsǝ who have measured themselvesǝ with the themes of the first person, the relationship between writing, life, affects, narration, and the inventive, prefigurative and political power of language.

Arte e scritture in atto is addressed to writers, artists, curators, researchers; to those who have just begun to approach art writing and those who have been using it for some time for work; to those who are looking for new ideas, spaces and styles of expression; to those who wish to measure themselves against experimental models and the history of art writing.

The seminar will take place from 23 to 26 October in Turin and will have its main venue in the rooms of the Biblioteca civica Alberto Geisser, one of the hubs of the Civic Libraries of Turin’s Librarian circuit. Two sessions will take place in the spaces of Archivio Tipografico and Pressato Coffee & Books.
