Art in Transit . urban landscapes and contemporary art
the project created and curated by myself and Joseph Basilicata Biscay to 1799, financed by the Basilicata Region, is the very last stages. Scheduled
lasted until September to November, making the city of Potenza protagonist of an intense artistic and cultural experience: the culture and contemporary art have come into close relationship with the people, architecture and urban landscape. We can say, despite the great effort, pleased with the achievements and awards. The large participation in the initiatives, the assessments and eco national press and media emphasize success. I think it's possible to take stock and draw some considerations. The extensive and detailed project has used the participation of artists national, international and Lucan, as well as eminent personalities from the worlds of art, culture and society that have ensured the highest level.
I think the strength of the project has been the basic approach and consistency of content that have traced a shape so unique and original. The subjects were placed on complexity of the contemporary city and its existential dimension. It was given a vision of culture and art but not abstract or ephemeral contact with the immediacy the life of the city, a "transit" for excellence, combining reflection with practice.

The project divided into six sections, gave birth to a vibrant exchange of views and proposals of artistic culture. I want briefly retraces the route to indicate the large number of initiatives and individuals involved, the organizational complexity and recall the good things and significant to so many people participated.
Section Arts in Transit, edited by Incontri Internazionali d'Arte Rome, has made four site-specific works of art with the participation of artists such as Daniel Buren , Studio Azzurro, White and Michele Iodice Valente, four interventions devoted to some symbolic places of the city: the bridge Musmeci, inspired Daniel Buren, while the steps of the People was the seat of interactive installation by Studio Azzurro, which recalled an old tradition of fireworks at power, Fano, and the couple of artists White Valente has revived, with a net light - nervous, the old and abandoned building of the former provincial library, and Michele Iodice scored with a perfect labyrinth park Pawell Baden.
Section Learning cities, has sought, with workshops and seminars, which are the search for new interpretative criteria of the contemporary city. With the architect Franco Pure 20 young people, including architects and engineers have implemented some design ideas for the redevelopment of a disused part of the old industrial area of \u200b\u200bPotenza, ex cipzoo to think of it as a city of art and culture. The
Topotek1 known group of architecture in Berlin with leaders Martin Rein Cano, led the workshop with 20 young creatives entitled "Landscapes for a temporary new look of the city, on the most pressing issues and current architecture and art, the possibility of upgrading the public spaces. The workshop concluded with the installation the "Train botanical, made up a train of FAL (Railways Appulo Lucane). A true hanging garden mobile, traveling between the power stations, has made unprecedented see visions, real and imaginary.
Meeting and discussion with the great figures of contemporary culture on issues concerning the city and art have been at the center of the section Narratives urban with seminars and meetings with Massimo Cacciari, Mario Perniola Marc Augé.
The eye and the gaze, and the section Steps edited by Dario Pinton. a course - training course for "translators" cultural art which was attended by 15 people interested in contemporary art forms of communication. With the section
Dance and urban landscape, architecture and some unusual places in the city were the protagonists of the aerial dance of Retouremont , the palaces of Piazza Mario Pagano, theater and dance Osmosis , the filing of ferrioviario FAL.
Section Warning care city was given to groups, young and creative artists of Basilicata. There was the workshop organized and curated by Journeys Sound - Art Factory Basilicata Potenza_SoundScapeS which sought to test the relationship between the city of Potenza and the universe of sound. At the workshop co Stefano Zorzanello and Albert Mayr , Musicians and composers of the top experts in the field, and was attended by about 20 young people interested in the world of sound. Were carried out a laboratory that has built a sound map of the city, installations, sound walks, meetings, events, exhibitions, concerts, among the guests Murcof , one of the musicians more interested users of the electronic music scene in the world. With
Pubblicinvasioni by Amnesiac Art, has made the laboratory edited by Marcello Maloberti , which involved about 15 young artists on the art of Basilicata invasive, has played in the competition "Pubblicinvasioni" that has turned parts City Power in an open-air museum and the invading advertising posters.
not without interest to the photo exhibition Salvatore Laurenzano entitled "Branching", which evokes presence - absence in the city (the nature and trees) exhibited in the way of the escalators in via Armellini. Much more has been done. And 'being published the catalog published by Electa. For information and gallery will go to the site http://www.arteintransito.it/
Remarkable! you might exclaim. Quite a few 'work. In addition to the overall success - the audience of experts and does not seem to like it very much - what is particularly excited about the continued presence of many young people (in hundreds) who have attended the workshops, workshops and activities that surrounded him to continue in the future. What I liked in general is the originality and quality of interventions and activities, but mostly he took the basic idea: not just a summer program, as often happens, but the development of a theme, a trip to 'internal problems of 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. That is no small thing in these times. It was produced so much material that does not is absolutely wasted because useful for the city and our region of Potenza, Basilicata.
The idea of \u200b\u200bart in transit is strong and courageous idea, the hope is that we be given the opportunity to continue in the future given the success in terms of audience and critics and received national and international media coverage. The danger is, as often happens, that small corporate self-interest will ultimately prevail.
