Istituto Svizzero in Milano hosts the final event of the workshop led by artists Costanza Candeloro and Beatrice Marchi along with students of the Master Fine Arts at the ZHdK Zurich University of the Arts on the topic of collective practices.
The artists reflect on the role of text as a visual dispositive and on the practice of character building as a performance tool, negotiating these formats in a collective, collaborative setting.
How would the creation of narratives and artistic expressions transform when this process extends beyond the individual and encompasses the collective? Can roles bring us closer together?
Questions of the relationship between individual and collective authorship and between discourse and visual production come to forefront.
The format is organized in collaboration with the Master Fine Arts of the ZHdK by Judith Welter and Francesca Brusa in dialogue with Gioia Dal Molin.
