01 Feb 2023– online course by Marysia Lewandowska for the School for Curatorial Studies Venice.
14 –30 March 2023
Dead line for applying: March 4, 2023
www.corsocuratori.com
www.curatorialstudiesveniceonline.com/
The digital age has shown us how easily knowledge and information are now able to flow and circulate. It has rendered equally visible how hard it is especially for artists to challenge the dominant online presence with their commitment to printed matter and publishing. This workshop will engage with publications arguing for their role in creating a wider public. We will be discussing contemporary conditions of production, circulation, and distribution which insist on including questions of ownership, usership and belonging as concerns integral to the artistic practice itself. My experience with publishing lies at the intersection of art, intellectual property, and open culture involving alternative economies & digital ecologies, the commons, media & collectivity – all contributing to creating a sustainable public realm.
We will be focussing on expanding an ethics of curatorial practice, with a particular emphasis on alternative modes of research and indigenous knowledge. We might begin by asking questions like: What is the relationship between ethics, research, publishing and the
institutionalised practices of curating? Can the institution exert moral agency? How does this change the way we practice as artists, curators and researchers and by extension shapes how we speak, read, write?
Through a series of interactive lectures hold by Marysia Lewwandowska, students will be able to turn to an alternative conception of publishing within artistic practices as the centre of this discussion, one which prioritises not information or formal knowledges but is
embedded in the communal. We will enquire about forms of coming together through publishing not predetermined by outcomes but by a shared process of enquiry and a set of diverse interests.
STRUCTURE: The course is taught remotely and divided into 6 units. Online Study Lectures effectively run over the week – Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm CET – maintaining our usual tours’ focused, intensive and immersive experience.
Session 1. 14 March 2023
Archival knowledge as public awakening.
Session 2. 16 March 2023
Exhibiting Art History. Aby Warburg - Mnemosyne Atlas.
Session 3. 21 March 2023
Artists/Publishers.
Session 4. 23 March 2023
Distributed practices. Forms of ownership.
Session 5. 28March 2023
Online Viral Networks.
Session 6. 14 March 2023
Publication as Activism.
TEACHING: The remote learning experience includes lectures, seminar participation and discussions. The course provides unique opportunities for direct student engagement with arts professionals, as well an extensive array of discussion forums. The teaching is intensive and supportive, with an emphasis on individual learning, and on developing a broad range of knowledge and understanding related to curating and its ethics.
FACULTY: The lectures will be hold by Marysia Lewandowska. She is a Polish-born artist based in London since 1985. She has been exploring the public functions of archives, museums and exhibitions often resulting in conceptually driven projects and films involving
the property of others. These works propose new relations between forms of knowledge and ownership, activating reflections on the social and immaterial public realm. In 2009 she has established the Women’s Audio Archive followed by a publication Undoing Property? co-edited with Laurel Ptak in 2013. Her work has been presented by Tate Modern, Moderna Museet, Muzeum Sztuki, Whitechapel Gallery. The latest installation It’s About Time occupied the Pavilion of Applied Arts at the 58 th Art Biennale in Venice. The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw has recently included the Enthusiasts Archive project in their collection. She is currently collaborating with Kunsthalle Baden Baden on re-thinking institutional practices for the post-pandemic times.www.marysialewandowska.com

In 1924, André Breton published the Manifesto of Surrealism, initiating one of the essential art movements of 20th century – the Surrealism. Although the art movement had its end in the sixties of 20th century, Surrealism survived because some essentials became a genetic code of contemporary art.

Accepting proposals for group exhibitions anywhere outside New York: February 1 - March 1, 2023
Deadline: March 1, 2023
Application fee: N/A
apexart will accept proposals for its International Open Call from February 1 - March 1, 2023. Four winning proposals will become apexart exhibitions presented in their selected locations around the world as part of our 2023-24 exhibition season. Curators, artists, writers, and creative individuals, regardless of location or past experience, are invited to submit a proposal online.
The submission process:
Proposals of up to 500 words should describe focused, idea-driven, original group exhibitions, and the country and city in which they are to take place. No biographical information, CVs, links, or images will be accepted, and proposals must be submitted in English. Jurors rate anonymous submissions based on the idea only. See examples of winning proposals here.
The selection process:
Rather than convene a panel of a few art world people to review hundreds of ideas, apexart’s crowd-sourced voting system invites hundreds of international jurors to review proposals on their own schedule. The crowd-sourced jury is composed of more than 600 individuals from a wide variety of professional backgrounds and international locations—including students from 17+ participating university classes—who will vote on the proposals. Proposals are anonymous and randomized to make sure each submission receives the same consideration. apexart staff does not influence the results of the jury in any way.
The results:
The four winning proposals will each receive an exhibition budget of up to $11,000; have an exhibition brochure printed and mailed to over six thousand international recipients; advertising in major and local outlets; and will be part of apexart’s 2023-2024 exhibition season. Working closely with the apexart team, curators will realize their original ideas into apexart exhibitions. Exhibition curators are challenged, encouraged, and required to work within the funding provided to transform their winning proposals into small, focused, noteworthy exhibitions.
To submit an exhibition proposal, visit [https:]] between February 1 and March 1, 2023.

La storia dell’arte è da intendere “come un meraviglioso film critico,
senza principio né fine, eppure perfettamente escatologico”.
Pier Paolo Pasolini
In un allestimento pensato come una sequenza di immagini, propria della storia dell’arte quanto del montaggio cinematografico, gli oggetti del passato sembrano sopravvivere al tempo e persistere nell’immaginario contemporaneo. Un assemblage visivo fatto di opere pittoriche, fotografie, riproduzioni, fotogrammi tratti da film, libri e riferimenti testuali a dimostrare, come scriveva Pasolini, “la violenza di una resistenza”, quella delle immagini.
Alle Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica, in occasione del centenario della nascita di Pier Paolo Pasolini (Bologna, 5 marzo 1922 – Roma, 2 novembre 1975), è in corso fino al 12 febbraio la mostra Pier Paolo Pasolini. TUTTO È SANTO – Il corpo veggente, a cura di Michele Di Monte. La mostra è realizzata all’interno del progetto espositivo Pier Paolo Pasolini. TUTTO È SANTO che vede le Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica, l’Azienda Speciale Palaexpo di Roma e il MAXXI analizzare il tema della corporeità secondo tre direttrici autonome e complementari.
Il corpo era, per Pasolini, luogo di resistenza, come le immagini. Le immagini de “La maniera italiana”, testo critico di Giuliano Briganti che il regista usava come riferimento per i suoi tableaux vivants ne “La ricotta”, come rimando esplicito alla plasticità corporea di Pontormo. Un immaginario visivo alimentato dalle lezioni di storia dell’arte di Roberto Longhi, che un giovane Pasolini studente seguiva, nel 1940, all’Università di Bologna.
Il corpo è popolare, è dolorante, è passionale, scandaloso. “Il corpo: ecco una terra non ancora colonizzata dal potere” scriveva Pasolini (in Saggi sulla politica e sulla società).
Il corpo è quello delle periferie del secondo dopoguerra, delle borgate romane che nel 1957 contavano, secondo un’inchiesta del Comune di Roma, più di tredicimila alloggi precari, baracche e ruderi. Come le fotografie di Franco Pinna e le sue ricerche antropologiche ed etnologiche, Pasolini raccontava le storie di quegli emarginati, di chi in quegli alloggi e in quelle grotte abitava. Un racconto che prendeva in prestito alla pittura di genere la rappresentazione della grettezza, e alla pittura medioevale il racconto patetico del dolore e del cordoglio.
Alle pareti le fotografie dei set dei film di Pasolini, da “Accattone” a “La ricotta”, da “Medea” a “Il Vangelo secondo Matteo”, insieme alle inchieste di Ernesto di Martino, ai fotogrammi di Cecilia Mangini, fino ai ritratti caravaggeschi e alle pietà doloranti.
È una mostra dal forte carattere didattico, un dialogo a più voci, un rimando continuo tra passato e presente. È una narrazione cinematografica, letteraria e pittorica allo stesso tempo, che usa lo strumento del flashback per confermare la lezione di Aby Warburg sulla persistenza delle immagini nella storia umana.

TUTTO È SANTO – Il corpo veggente, a cura di Michele Di Monte Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica, Palazzo Barberini, Roma, 28.10.2022 – 12.02.2023 La mostra è parte di un progetto dedicato a Pier Paolo Pasolini, coordinato e condiviso tra Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica, Azienda Speciale Palaexpo di Roma e il MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo.immagini (tutte): Pier Paolo Pasolini.

31 Jan 2023Il mirabilia, come sappiamo, è un genere letterario di origine medievale ascrivibile alle moderne guide di viaggio che aiutano l’esploratore ad orientarsi in posti mai visti prima fino ad allora. Silvia Camporesi, traducendone il senso nel medium fotografico plasma un’Italia inconsueta, a tratti weird e stravagante, a tratti affascinante e favolosa. L’enorme progetto in costante itinere, di cui in questa sede immateriale possiamo scorgerne qualche frammento, per quanto «progetto fotografico» e fortemente caratterizzato da una tecnica ineccepibile che trasforma ogni impressione in qualcosa di «bello» e contemplativo, ha nel suo concettualismo intrinseco la sua chiave di lettura più attraente: la pratica del viaggio che diviene parte della pratica artistica. Performance motoria che diviene visiva e che traducendosi nell’occhio della macchina fotografica si trasforma in celebrale.
Le fotografie sono «impressioni» per loro stessa natura, quindi più facilmente traducibili nell’immateriale digitale, ma le opere di Camporesi lo sono ancora di più, perché immateriali in potenza, racchiudendo in esse il viaggio che le ha create. Sono a loro agio tra i bit esistenziali in quanto anch’esse sono prodotte da unità discrete che tutte insieme si trasformano in «archivio», o meglio database, elemento che dà effettivamente senso allo spazio digitale (cos’è Internet se non un immenso archivio).
Concentrandoci sulla mostra in questione, dobbiamo scindere l’esperienza in due importanti focus legatissimi tra loro ma a volte discordanti (pratica tipica ma in questo caso ancora più importante dato che stiamo parlando di una mostra digitale di opere, in questo caso digitali, ma esistenti anche analogicamente su supporti fotografici): le opere in mostra e il display espositivo.
Per quanto riguarda le opere in mostra ci si trova sormontati da immagini curiose, portatrici di significati culturali e antropologici, che non trovano il loro senso semplicemente nel fatto che non avremmo neppure mai pensato che questi paesaggi possano trovarsi nel nostro Bel Paese, ma vanno ben oltre, scandagliando questioni profonde su cosa siamo e cosa siamo stati: architetture industriali insolite, paesaggi spettrali e pieni di pathos e tragedia, scene metafisiche, prospettive affascinanti di posti incantati, abitazioni che sembrano necropoli e necropoli che sembrano condomini, fusioni ardite tra montagna e casa, vite sommerse, nel paesaggio toscano, ed emerse, in quello sardo, architetture fortemente ornamentali che sono vere e proprie opere d’arte eclettiche, al pari delle riproduzioni fotografiche delle sculture del centro Italia, quasi freudiane, collezioni dal fascino inconsueto, quasi astratto, e infine immagini dal sottosuolo, tra le più intriganti, con il Parco di Villa Rossi a Santorso (Veneto) e Villa Guastavillani a Bologna.
Chiaramente queste riproduzioni digitali si sarebbero potute «esporre» in maniera più banale e «archivistica», così come riproduzioni di questo genere si possono trovare sulla maggior parte dei siti Internet, ma la «messa in mostra» vera e propria, seppur in forma esclusivamente digitale, ne potenzia il fascino, costruendo una vera e propria curatela immateriale, così come allo stesso tempo ne mette in crisi il senso, attraverso una gamification che punta sulla superficiale curiosità. Le opere in questione, certo, possono permettersi il rischio, con la loro componente weird sempre accentuata (pensiamo a come il weird domini le logiche digitali ancor più di quelle analogiche, e soprattutto le logiche artistiche) seppur non preponderante (se così non fosse nello spazio digitale queste opere si trasformerebbero in qualcosa di molto simile ad un meme, quintessenza del weird). Questa loro forza espressa tanto bene nell’analogico così come nel digitale, trasforma l’esposizione di bit in azione tangibile, facilitando anche l’avvicinamento di un pubblico che magari non ha mai avuto modo di incontrare strettamente la poetica di Camporesi (un’azione digitale di questo genere, la visita di una mostra d’arte, è fortemente intima, a differenza della sua controparte analogica). Le caratteristiche delle opere stesse, molto più dell’«esposizione» in sé, rendono il progetto vincente, più riuscito della maggior parte delle esposizioni digitali a cui siamo abituati.
Ad ogni modo, però, ad ogni nuova mostra digitale, sorge sempre lo stesso dilemma: un’esposizione digitale ha davvero la necessità di essere una riproduzione di un’esposizione analogica? O forse un’esposizione digitale dovrebbe puntare sulle caratteristiche intrinseche di questo spazio, composto da link che piegano lo spazio-tempo, simulacri di noi stessi e una logica fortemente fondata sull’archiviazione?

AIR program in Fablab Buinho (Portugal) 2023
Deadline: January 27th 2023
Dates & location of event context: Buinho offers a unique working experience in the historic town of Messejana, Southern Portugal. Messejana is a place of delightful contrasts, between the past aristocratic houses with its hidden, patios, the small rural dwellings, and baroque white churches. All surrounded by endless plains and old cork trees that characterize the Alentejo region. It is located in the sunniest region of Europe, providing more than 3000 hours of sunshine per year, also famous for its gastronomy, and just 1 hour and a half from Lisbon and other major cities.
The current open call is for the period April 2023 until December 2023.
Living in a rural environment is an advantage, but Buinho offers more than just a safe place. We are in the historic town of Messejana, Southern Portugal. Besides the surrounding natural landscape and heritage, our fablab and studios are equipped with all the necessary tools and equipment’s to enhance the possibilities of experimentation of our residents. Besides access to lasercut, 3D printing and other technologies, Buinho also provides free introductory courses and production assistance.
Buinho Fablab opened in 2016, and became a European reference as the only artistic residencies based on a Fablab, enabling the merging of Art, Technology and Digital Fabrication. Ever since we have received visual artists, performance artists, photographers, curators, writers, sculptors, designers, media artists, from all the different continents, confirming the eclectic nature of our program.
Today Buinho has five houses, offering private accommodation, shared and individual studios, a digital fabrication workshop, and exhibition spaces. Besides our own properties and equipment’s, we also run together with the local municipality a Precious Plastic Workshop, where resident artists can work with metal, larger sculpture pieces or installations, or recycle plastic. Together with the local school and kindergarten, we provide support to a small network of three makerspaces dedicated to tech education from 3 to 12 years old, where artists can propose activities and workshops.
Our residency program is suitable for artists from different disciplines and backgrounds, including Visual arts, Sculpture, Photography, Writing, Design, New Media, Curatorial, Performance, Research
Our staff provides weekly curatorial support to the residents, for advise, discussion and follow up of the residency project.
The residency program provides production support, and access to the equipment’s and spaces.
Buinho AIR program also provides free weekly tutorials and workshops about 3D printing, 3D modeling, CNC and laser cutting, robotics, and plastic recycling.
The program also includes weekly contacts with the locals from Messejana where we explore traditional practices as goat cheese or bread making, or visits to traditional artisans workshops. Buinho also offers some special programs and workshops to our residents, as the Precious Plastic Workshop (for recycling plastic), or our special education branch called Buinho Education (digital empowerment of local children and seniors).
We possess a wide list of equipment, from heavy-duty easels to workshop tools that we make available to our residents. We also offer unique working capabilities in terms of digital fabrication due to our fablab. A list of some of this digital fabrication equipment and audiovisuals can be found on our website – [https:]
entry fee – ´Yes. We do not have public or private funding for the residencies, and besides the normal house bills and work consumables, we have a full-time person just for production support of the residencies. As such, we have to apply fees, but we do keep the fees to a minimum since we are a non-for-profit association based in a rural area.
In Buinho we also try to differentiate the value of the residency fees according to the characteristics of the accommodation. Bedrooms have different dimensions, spaces, and one has a private bathroom. By differentiating the fees, we are establishing a fairer criterion between residents, and enabling those with fewer incomes to come to Buinho.
Monthly fees are the following:
1. São João larger bedroom with private bathroom – 850€;
2. São João other two bedrooms – 750€;
3. Joaquina’s individual studio house – 900€;
Accompanying person has a 50% discount but must share the accommodation. It is an additional measure to support couples, artists with children, or possible artistic collaborations.

2023 Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition
Deadline: April 30, 2023 (GMT+8) 23:59
Date: to be announced
Location: Hong-Gah Museum(11F., No.166, Daye Road – Beitou District, Taipei City)
Long, durational observation indicates a sense of care. It can also form the premise on which ‘care’ takes place. Care is given to the material as well as the mental. In the context of a museum or an art museum, the meaning of ‘curate’ originally comes from the Latin word curatus, which means ‘to attend to’. Although the museum’s methods of caring have changed and evolved throughout history, the work of exhibition production today still involves preservation, selection, display choices, communication of contexts and the continual ‘taking care of’ objects.
Care can be tactile, specific, intimate, violent, suffocating. Although its value often goes unrecognized by existing dominant systems of knowledge, care has always been a quintessential part of human survival. More than ever, humanity now finds itself faced with calamities on a planetary scale, such as climate crisis and nuclear war. Is it possible for us to resist the hegemony of contemporary technoscience by first learning to care for ourselves and each other? Are we able to acknowledge the limits of human perception, and provide spaces for those to survive within and beyond such a boundary? Can we somehow find a way to revert our perspective from that of extractive capitalism which dominates nature, and instead practice interspecies care with a more-than-human lens? In the new normal, in which physical movement has narrowed and information circulates within echo chambers, are we capable of empathizing with and shouldering responsibility for the predicaments of others?
Since the scientific revolution, the seed of exploitation has been systematically embedded into our worldview in the name of “order”. Most beings that cannot be classified or are deemed without value have gradually been neglected, excluded and eventually eliminated. This open call aims to bring the valueless to the fore and to turn ‘care’ into the guideline for action.
—
This open call’s theme attempts to open up the complexities and material entanglements of ‘care’ via three keywords: hokutolite, denshousha and television. These three terms associate respectively with notions of scale, mediums of memory, and viewing habits. We are seeking stories from all places that connect to these concerns.
Hokutolite
Hokutolite was first discovered in 1905 by Japanese mineralogist Okamoto Yohachiro. The mineral contains the radioactive chemical radium, and so far has only been found in two places in the world: Beitou, Taiwan and Akita, Japan. Its radioactivity enabled the Japanese physicist Arakatsu Bunsaku, then a teacher at Taihoku Imperial University (now National Taiwan University), to lead, with his team, the first experiments on atomic nucleus collision in Asia. Eventually, due to its rarity, the area where hokutolite had been initially excavated was designated in 2013 as a nature preserve, the first to be established in Taiwan for mineral protection. Having slowly formed over a vast geologic time scale, hokutolite came into human awareness through the imperial arms war. It was Taiwan’s colonizers who made the initial discovery of hokutolite, and ‘care’ was not granted to it until more than a century later. Hokutolite embodies the story of natureculture, an entanglement of scientific/rational knowledge and imperialist expansion based on the geological time of Beitou (where TIVA will take place).
Denshousha
In 1945, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration a week later, ending World War II. Today, the cityscape of Hiroshima has been restored, but the number of people directly impacted by the devastation is now in swift decline, along with their first-hand memories. Since 2012, the City of Hiroshima has implemented the A-Bomb Legacy Successor program to preserve the personal experiences of the hibakusha (literally, ‘bombed person’) through a denshousha (‘successor’), who then becomes the guardian of their memories. Through spending time with hibakusha, each denshousha records discretely their life experiences, then narrates their stories orally to others. In contrast to using written text or images, the stories emerge from the mind and through the physical bodies of the denshousha. The transmission of memory relies on different voices, and storytelling becomes a form of healing. The denshousha reinforces the finite lifespan of a species, who inherits and passes down specific stories over an immeasurable timeframe.
Television
Media archaeology is committed to restoring obsolete technologies, while also revisiting the historical contents of past media through contemporary platforms. As the first mass medium in human history that could transmit sound and image to every household, the cathode-ray tube (CRT) television is an object of nostalgia. It was a commonplace appliance, a symbol of progress and modernity, but also circulated imagery that objectified minorities, women and the non-human, for consumption by global audiences. Such imagery has served as a crucial material basis for feminist discourses and resistance, as well as being an early catalyst of video art. The use of the CRT TV in today’s exhibitions has become a particular gesture. In caring for the image/medium, both the material and the immaterial come into consideration.

01 Mar 2023Non c’è cosa più difficile che scrivere una favola, quell’arte del trovare parole semplici per comunicare qualcosa di complesso, o più semplicemente donare un pensiero diverso.
In questa pro-vocazione artistica promossa da Luigi Pagliarini (LP) si apre la sfida, ossia quella di creare un’operAzione corale dove la scrittura si trasforma in musica e linguaggio visuale. L’operAzione polifonica di LP consacra ogni immagine forgiata dalla sensibilità artistica di Federico Galdiero alla produzione di immaginari spalancando mondi paralleli e sensoriali. LP ci dona un viaggio psichedelico, superando il pozzo di Alice nel Paese delle meraviglie, oltrepassando il Vertigo di Hitchcock, la mente di Cobb in Inception (Christofer Nolan, 2010): un Inside out emozionante.
La favola di Pagliarini contiene, nel suo essere favola, energia pulsante e visioni di mondo mai raccontate o percepite. L’architettura favolistica qui promossa è una re-visione sul passato-presente-futuro, un sottosopra senza demogorgoni o passaggi segreti, dove i pre-concetti e gli stereotipi si smontano e il lettore “innocente” può finalmente comprendere l’esistenza di una connessione diretta e universale. Il “Pensiero Sensoriale” di LP qui promosso sposta il punto di vista da una dimensione antropocentrica a quella zoocentrica, nonché allocentrica: un’attrazione molto speciale dell’essere vivente. L’Opera Aperta di Pagliarini abita organismi fuori e dentro di noi i quali ci orientano e disorientano, dove il corpo stesso di configura come un universo: un terrarium semovente.
La metafora utilizzata dall’artista e psicologo italiano ci permette di indagare l’infinitamente piccolo, microscopico che a sua volta si relaziona con il macroscopico, una relazione profonda e connessa. Non esiste più il ‘c’era una volta’…, ma quello del ‘c’è e ci sarà sempre’, sfuggendo dalla brama antropocentrica per restituirci un pensiero molecolare, tentacolare e corale. Sta nel coro il sentimento della favola-favolaccia di Pagliarini.
L’intento dell’autore non è quello di un lieto fine, non c’è un lieto fine, né tanto meno una fine, contravvenendo anche alla natura delle favole e dell’immaginario sociale. Una presa di coscienza (e incoscienza) per non abituarci, ma disabituarci con sentimento nuovo, rinnovato di adesione ad una realtà a più dimensioni. Nella Flatlandia creata da Pagliarini emergono dimensioni possibili e impossibili dei sistemi viventi. Un Bing Bang planetario, una cosmologia corporea che genera periferie centriche e centri periferici: tutto si connette in un’atmosfera evolutiva. L’atmosferaggio di Luigi Pagliarini apre ad un Pianeta-Mente generativo, un’esplosione dove tutto nasce, cresce e muore. Bing-Bang che risuona come eco dentro e fuori. La fragilità dei sistemi viventi, dai batteri, ai funghi, dalle piante ai fiori, dagli animali agli esseri umani tutti appartengono al Pianeta Mente. Le atmosfere si mescolano, si connettono, si abitano e si contaminano: un’attrazione gravitazionale e trascendente. Pagliarini promuove un’intelligenza collaborativa, connettiva dove universi di relazioni paralleli generano codici compositivi per apprezzare il sentimento del Mondo. La grande sfida di Pagliarini è un sogno che si avvera, donare a chi sa ascoltare (i bambini) un diverso modo di guardare e provare l’odore della Terra, i sentimenti del mondo, il territorio delle atmosfere, le costellazioni della mente.
Il capolavoro di LP è una pazzesca atmosfera dove tutti ci rendiamo conto della potente connessione esistente tra pianeti viventi e satelliti della mente. Solo partendo dai bambini possiamo apprezzare il destino ultimo dell’universo, la sua fine (“Bing Crunch”).
Pagliarini riesce con sentimento corale a ricamare e tessere una trama cosmologica dell’universo con voce gravida di vita nella sua fragilità pre-potente. Pagliarini da questo punto del mondo “sversa” per un PianetaMente tendendo la mano ai bambini con grazia.
Emozione sonica, sonante: attimo estremo di fragilità. Respiro osseo che tesse la trama della mente e nell’esercizio ginnico del pensiero, il PianetaMente accade con Energia autentica. Una Supernova è quella che Luigi Pagliarini ci consegna, ci illumina, ci stupisce, ci fa innamorare. Una rinascita continua, in trasformazione e circolare. Il Pianeta Mente raccoglie nella consonante iniziale tutta l’anima potente di una “P” doppia Pagliarini-Pianeta dove la profondità della consonante partorisce una riflessione profonda sulla vita e sulla morte, senza averne paura, ma con responsabilità di raccontarla a chi nasce e si trasforma. LP è composizione sonora-magica che continua nel ritmo danzante delle atmosfere planetarie che dà l’inizio a un progetto ambizioso e molto più grande che segna l’insostituibile anima e coraggio di Luigi Pagliarini, un cuore da leone, una pelle di serpente e un animo da samurai, con Nuovi Immaginari che partoriranno dal suo cappello-Mente. Chapeu.
La favola continua …

Residency program in Namibia for artists from Germany
Deadline: closing date for handing in your application is January 10, 2023.
The fellowship will be awarded for the period of June 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023. The selected artists will be staying in Windhoek, Namibia.
Akademie Schloss Solitude together with the National Art Gallery of Namibia and the Goethe-Institut Namibia is establishing a new residency program that will be committed to a long-term artistic and cultural exchange between Namibia and Germany. With this call for applications, we will offer artists from Germany, especially persons of African descent living in Germany, the opportunity to apply for a fellowship in Namibia.
The residencies are organized in the framework of a two-part workshop series curated by Namibian artist and historian Memory Biwa, which initiates a collective approach to the history of colonial relations between Namibia and Germany and develops new artistic narratives on this topic.
Artists across the fields of visual arts (also encompassing performance, sound, and socially-engaged art), literature/journalism (encompassing prose, poetry, as well as digital journalism), and digital practice (encompassing digital art, computing, hacking, gaming) can apply for a four-month residency. The fellowship will provide the opportunity to engage artistically with the project’s topics restitution/reparation, cultures of remembrance, and digital colonialism. You are welcome to apply until January 10, 2023.
