Unidee in Residence
Cittadellarte - Fondazione Pistoletto, Biella
The growing interest in the research and development of IDEAS on all levels of the social context is not perceived by UNIDEE in generic terms. The residents will live and work in the buildings of Cittadellarte, a remarkable architectural example of industrial archaeology. Apart from attending courses, workshops, public meetings and exhibitions, they will also share the behavioural experience of living within a collective community. UNIDEE programs are directed by Michelangelo Pistoletto and are based on his multidisciplinary experience.
UNIDEE offers a significant specialisation course to students and graduates coming from different university backgrounds.
The growing interest in the research and development of IDEAS on
all levels of the social context is not perceived by UNIDEE in
generic terms. It is perceived as need for creative contribution in
every field of human activity, following the specific direction
previously mentioned in the introduction. Consequently, UNIDEE
offers each course participant a unique experience not be found in
any other academic or university program. Activities are, in fact,
based on the application and use of imagination in the chosen
profession, and they all aim at a responsible social transformation.
Moreover, art students and young artists will have the opportunity
of introducing their creative work to larger shares of the social
context.
The residents will live and work in the buildings of Cittadellarte, a
remarkable architectural example of industrial archaeology. Apart
from attending courses, workshops, public meetings and
exhibitions, they will also share the behavioural experience of living
within a collective community.

are based on his multidisciplinary experience.
The 2002 course for students in residence consists of seminars
held by members of the Scientific Committee of Università delle
Idee and by experts and eminent figures of the various humanities,
economical, political, artistic and social disciplines.
Each day will be divided into a theoretical part and into a practical
part, that will be dedicated to the development and actualisation of
individual and group projects. These projects shall be gradually
proposed both by UNIDEE (Projects by invitation) and by the
participants.
