It is the result of the artistic residency part of the project “Light is Life”, carried out through a collaboration between Cittadellarte, the Municipality of Monte Isola and A2A. “The work aims at telling the story of an encounter between people,” says the artist, “accompanying them on the journey of a conversation.

The reactivation of an urban fabric through performance art works: a project by Accademia Unidee Immersed in an otherworldly dimension like the one evoked by the industrial archaeology of the UNIDEE Space, on the evening of 16 April seven students from the course in Artistic Anatomy of Fondazione Pistoletto’s Accademia UNIDEE allowed the public to live experiences that were as intimate and topical as urgent and social, through a personal iconoplastic alphabet developed with the language of performance art. Weaving a narrative path oriented "from the inside to the outside, from the spiritual to the physical sphere, from the invisible to the visible", through art, they led spectators to a reflective movement on a question, the same question expressed at the end of the event and which the listeners themselves were invited to answer: "Unused spaces in the city: which would you like to see regenerated? For what end use?". BY Francesca Carbone IL 07/05/2024 Leggi di più
