vessel is pleased to announce this very interesting project which shares some of our aims and is organized by our partner RAMDOM Association.
CALL FOR ARTISTS
Lecce, Italy
21-30 September 2011
DEFAULT masterclass is an international cultural and artistic residence hosted in the town of Lecce, in Italy’s Puglia Region. It proposes to be a context to discuss, imagine and put forward sustainable ideas for how art can interact with the regeneration of former industrial spaces.
For ten days, twenty selected artists will discuss with curators, artists and cultural producers, transnational partners and local audiences ask some key questions:
In our current (austere) times, how can we interact with wider governmental policy on regeneration? How do we tackle the increasingly politicised stakes that underpin cultural funding for the revitalisation of urban centres and neighbourhoods? Do artists, curators, art managers and policy makers now default to “art and regeneration” practices which are no longer viable, yet still entrenched in cultural structures, because there no other alternative given?
The works will take places in several regenerated spaces in the city of Lecce.
Current faculty and lecturers include: Lewis Biggs (Biennale of Liverpool), Celine Condorelli (artist), Andrea Lissoni (Xing and Hangar Bicocca), Manon Slome (No Longer Empty), Alfredo Cramerotti (curator, AGM and QUAD), Yesomi Umolu (curator, AGM), Hannah Conroy (curator, AGM), Andrea Siclodi (Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen), Ana Hoffner, Paolo Mele (RAMDOM), Filipa Ramos (writer and art critic), Pietro Gaglianò, Emiliano Paoletti (Bjcem), Chris Torch (Intercult).
