Arts in Transit in power. Creativity in Action

a little 'tired but happy, despite some slight disturbance continues to sail the full navigation Art in Transit. Urban Landscape and Contemporary Art , the project created and curated by me and prof. Joseph Biscay, Basilicata Association in 1799, which, since May, is giving power to the city of the opportunity to live a wonderful experience with art and culture.

We have also received great attention and many compliments and we are happy.

can not yet make a final assessment on what has been achieved, because after the August break the activities will continue developing as planned in September in some workshops and provides that the section attention - The care of the city , dedicated to young artists that will perform some of their Lucan artistic interventions on the city of Potenza. I just want to focus on one aspect that seems to me the important work we are doing.

Not only the great participation of the people is rewarding but also what is on the horizon. We're excited, in particular, the presence of so many young people who have attended or attend our laboratories and workshops, we can speak of hundreds, who urges us to continue in the future. What I like is the quality of interventions and activities, but above all you get the idea background. It was not our intention to prepare a summer program, as often happens, but to develop a theme: a real and metaphorical journey into the contemporary city through various forms of art and thought. So a general consistency between form (design) and content (activity), which has made significant, meaningful and shared what has been achieved. So let's see. Five workshops:

- Work shop with young architects, edited by Franco Pure, place power of innovation. Culture as a primary energy of the city in the globalization era ;

- Worskshop for young creative with Topotek 1 / Berlin, Landscape for a temporary new look of the city

- Workshop linked to the national competition Pubblicinvasioni with Marcello Maloberti, art invasive

- Workshop: Training course for "translators" culture of contemporary art by Dario Pinton

- Workshop Potenza_SoundScape. The sound and the city, edited by Albert Mayr and Stephen Zorzanello

Each workshop included a series of activities in the artistic and spectacular to involve the city. you can not tell everything in detail, however, many good things, significant and interesting, exciting and curious.

Each workshop produced a map of the city relating to its subject and this is something very important that need to be developed in September to draw a map - profile of the city of Potenza, interacting the different experiments.

These days it is building the laboratory Potenza_Sound Scape (yesterday evening, the beautiful and sophisticated electronic music concert by Murcof) with the seminars and all the preparation to make the score "A dip in the Lake "by John Cage: collective happening by Stefano Zorzanello (^ 1 total European 23 to 25 July), a strange and" complicated "sheet that provides for the collection of sounds in 427 parts of the city. It was performed only once in the United States (1982 - if I remember correctly) and now in Europe for the first time. The preparatory work, which is open to musicians or not, has something great. As the score you need to locate at random places in the city and then go to pick up the sounds. In these cases it does not matter but the final execution path experiential for its realization.

For all other activities, I refer you to the site http://www.arteintransito.it/ , to scroll through the program to know what was done, what is there (like the four installations D. Buren, Studio Azzurro, Bainco Valente, M. Iodice, who are having a good eco national and international), what will be and why not, look around the gallery .
