Workshop on art practice for social transformation directed to the young artists of the Alexandria Biennale. Deadline for applications: 20 May 2007
Cittadellarte and Love Difference, invited by the Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean (Associacion Internationale pour la Biennale des Jeunes Créateurs de l'Europe et de la Mediterranée – BJCEM) are creating a professional course in residence on art practice for social transformation. The course develops in two phases, the first is that of formation and project planning, within Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto’s structure, where the participants will live(18-29 June 2007); the second is that of communication and presentation, executed throughout the days of the Alexandria Biennale (25 October to 4 November 2007). The workshop aims to furnish the participants with the experience of working in a group through the valorisation of individual creativity directed towards collective planning.
The workshop, given in English, is addressed to 22 young creatives who will participate in the Alexandria Biennale and are interested in exploring the relationship between creativity and social responsibility. The organisation of the workshop covers living expenses, board and materials for the workshop for the phase spent at Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto. Travel expenses for Alexandria, Egypt, are covered by the BJCEM associates and partners in each country. Hospitality expenses during the Biennale will be covered by the organisation of Alex 2007.
In order to be selected, artists should send: a current CV in the European format, a letter of motives, and documentation of personal work (maximum of 2 pages, 5000 characters)
before the 20th May 2007. The workshop organisers also offer 16 grants that partially cover travel expenses to Biella (Italy); to be eligible, the candidates who wish to request partial cover travel expenses, must send an official letter of request together with their application for participation in the course to workshop@lovedifference.org
