MODULE OUTLINE
A week of exploration and wandering on the hills of Oasi Zegna in Trivero (Piedmont region) experimenting group and individual dynamics, which feed creative processes. The aim is to design an object or situation that adds new thinking, interaction and behaviour to the Oasi.
The module explores the idea of creating interventions in this very particular area looking at its nature, architecture, and history. How to contribute to an aesthetic experience of the environment? A cooperation of ideas, under the guidance of Martino Gamper, will encourage individual proposals envisioned in the frame of symbolic values of the venues visited during the tours scheduled for the module.
The theoretical and curatorial contribution by Matteo Lucchetti and Judith Wielander will stimulate the discussion, analysing in depth experimental relationships between arts, design within the social sphere, through the presentation of selected case studies from “The Visible. Where art leaves its own field and becomes visible as part of something else” projects’ archive (undertaken by Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto in collaboration with Fondazione Zegna).

A joint jury together with Martino Gamper will select n.8 participants and will attribute residency grants to participants resulting on the first 4 places of the final list of selected candidates, as follows:
FULL GRANTS: provided to two participants resulting on the 1st and 2nd places of the final selection list.
