Art Experience è la nuova iniziativa lanciata da Domus Academy, scuola di fama internazionale nel campo del Design e della Moda, in collaborazione con Bondardo Comunicazione, agenzia leader nel settore del marketing e della comunicazione culturale.

Ideati e condotti come seminari settimanali, i primi tre appuntamenti del 2004 verranno sviluppati direttamente insieme ad alcuni degli artisti, considerati ormai i simboli di nuove poetiche dell'espressione artistica contemporanea.

Art Experience riallaccia un legame forte con l'arte contemporanea, sempre evidente nella storia di Domus Academy, sin dal 1983 (anno della fondazione).

Artexperience, offre ad un numero selezionato di partecipanti l'opportunità di entrare in contatto con figure di primo piano della creatività contemporanea (arti visive, musica, cinema, teatro, danza). In ogni workshop, l'attività degli artisti sarà esplorata in relazione a un tema scelto ed ai contributi interdisciplinari di alcuni docenti.

Il principio-guida dell'intera serie di workshop sarà la fusione di linguaggi espressivi diversi e la possibilità di partecipare e interagire direttamente con l'artista leader del seminario.

I partecipanti saranno coinvolti in un'esperienza unica, esplorando attivamente e in modo interdisciplinare temi di importanza centrale nella nostra cultura, grazie ad una serie di attività sperimentali e creative condotte direttamente con artisti come Rirkrit Tiravanija e Christian Marclay, che culmineranno in un evento aperto al pubblico creato insieme agli artisti stessi e agli altri ospiti partecipanti.

I workshop con gli artisti si svolgeranno a maggio e giugno 2004, a Venezia, presso il Telecom Italia Future Centre, che ha sede nell'ex Convento di San Salvador a San Marco. Una lista di strutture ricettive per i pernottamenti saranno messe a disposizione dei partecipanti, che potranno prenotare a loro carico la soluzione preferita.

I workshop saranno riservati a un gruppo di 20 partecipanti e si rivolgono ad un target ampio di pubblico: artisti, critici, curatori e professionisti in diversi campi.

I due eventi aperti al pubblico che concluderanno ciascun appuntamento veneziano, sono previsti il 22 maggio ed il 19 giugno 2004, rispettivamente con Tiravanija e Marclay. I due artisti animeranno un incontro più vasto, insieme ai partecipanti al seminario e al pubblico invitato - Rirkrit offrirà un happening a tutto tondo e Christian presenterà tre video installazioni nel chiostro del suggestivo complesso conventuale.

Sono previste borse di studio per studenti e riduzioni per studenti delle Accademie e delle scuole di specializzazione d'arte.

La selezione dei partecipanti avverrà previo invio di curriculum vitae e di una lettera di motivazione. Saranno prese in considerazione eventuali proposte di temi ed oggetti di discussione.

Tuition fee per workshop:
800 Euro + IVA (studenti), 1200 Euro + IVA ( professionisti)
Riduzione del 20% per studenti delle Accademie di Belle Arti e scuole di specializzazione

ARTEXPERIENCE
International workshops in contemporary visual art and music

Artexperience is a brand new initiative launched by Domus Academy - worldwide famous postgraduate school in Design and Fashion - in collaboration with Bondardo Comunicazione, agency leader in the fields of cultural marketing and communication.

Artexperience are three workshops lasting one-week, offering to the selected participants the opportunity to be in contact with some of the leading protagonists of contemporary creativity (visual arts, music, cinema, theatre, dance). Each workshop will explore the activity of the artists according to a chosen theme and to the multi-disciplinary contributions of a number of lecturers specifically invited for the workshop.

The focus of the entire series of workshops will be on the fusion of different expressive languages and on the active participation and interaction with the artist.

The participants will be actively and creatively committed in a unique experience of multi-disciplinary exploration of a theme of central importance in our culture.

Each workshop will involve some experimental and creative activities and an event open to the public (concert, performance, open lecture). The first evening public event will be May 22 with Rirkrit Tiravanija, Philippe Parreno, Pierre Huyghe and Maurizio Nannucci.

The workshops will start in spring 2004 and they will be held at Telecom Italia Future Centre, located in the beautiful San Salvador Convent at San Marco (Venice). A list of hotel and bed&breakfast structures will be at disposition of the participants that will make the reservation for the night permanence by using an agreement held with the organization. The workshops will be limited to a group of around 20 participants and they address to a wide public: artists, critics, curators and professionals operating in several fields.

Scholarships for students will be available. The work language will be English.

Applications are open starting from February 20th 2004. To apply for scholarships, please send the material by April 15th 2004 for the 1st Workshop.

The selection of the participants will be based on their resume and on their letter of motivation. Potential proposals of themes and issues of discussion will be taken into consideration.

1° Workshop: No Vitrines, No Museums, No Artists. Just A Lot of People
18 - 23 May 2004
Leader: Rirkrit Tiravanija
Curator: Maurizio Bortolotti

Theme
The workshop proposes the investigation of different forms of interaction, together with an artist who has adopted as personal language the ephemeral dimension of the event, through which he tries to break the borders between the several institutions of the world of art in order to obtain an open ground for creation.

The work of Rirkrit Tiravanija mainly consists in the realisation of happenings in which the public participates with an active role. The artist creates situations and environments in which the border between the artist and his public is questioned.

Rirkrit Tiravanija, of Thai origins, was born in 1961 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He studied Arts in Canada and in the USA and he currently lives between Thailand, New York and Berlin. He took part in several international events such as: Skulptur Projekte in Münster in 1997, the 48th Venice Biennale in 1999, and the Yokohama Triennale in 2001. Together with Molly Nesbit and Hans Ulrich Obrist he has been the curator of Utopia Station, a section of the 50th Venice Biennale. Among his solo exhibitions we can mention the ones at Ikon Gallery, Birmingham and at GBE Modern in New York in 2003. In 2002: Secession in Wien and Untitled (The Raw & the Cooked) at the City Opera Gallery in Tokyo.
