Primo Piano Atelier is a platform for research and artistic and multidisciplinary production operating mainly in Puglia, on the relationship between art, territory and public sphere, in reference to public tangible and intangible space, to the territory and its geo-cultural processes.

THE RESIDENCES

The residences of the Primo Piano Atelier are an alternative education program for independent artists to work in a community of peers who share a unique and rich history: the Puglia. The novelty of living is in combining the production of contemporary art site specific with relaxation through interdisciplinary events conjugates: art exhibitions, workshops, seminars etc. The residency program is not held in one location but in different places, specially chosen so as to enable productive interaction between the issues and demands of research and artistic design, the study of historical, political, cultural and environmental connotations of the different territories, and the different types of “public” to which the projects are aimed, in collaboration with other arts organizations and multidisciplinary active in southern Italy and abroad. The choice of location (urban or rural) is strongly characterized by old and new stereotypes, in order to redefine the forms of representation and narrative places mostly thought of as a collective statement of identity, to create paths of knowledge relational, cultural and cognitive, alternative to existing ones.

WELCOME

The number of days, type of accommodation and the costs depend on the length of stay (minimum 15days) and the characteristics of the program or stay.
