The Blank Educational is a project born in 2015 addressed to high school students and it is aimed to enhance knowledge and passion for Contemporary Art. The programme includes a number of activities: introduction to the languages of contemporary art, talks and workshop held in class with artists, studio visit and guided visits to temporary exhibitions.
With the contribution of Fondazione Credito Bergamasco and Regione Lombardia.
In partnership with the Province of Bergamo.
The Blank involves the students of the Scuola Alberghiera of Clusone in an itinerary to discover the languages through which the artistic creativity and research take shape.
From the dialogue with the artist Diego Marcon and its work, the young cooks take some inspiration to design a menu to cook in a special dinner open to the public.
