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.
Attraverso un percorso articolato in tre appuntamenti gli studenti scoprono la transizione dai linguaggi canonici dell’Arte a quelli sperimentali del contemporaneo e ne approfondiscono le linee di ricerca dialogando con un artista ospitato in classe.
Il percorso si conclude con la visita guidata a una selezione delle mostre in programma per ArtDate 2018. Ciascuna classe, attraverso due itinerari pensati appositamente per le scuole, è accompagnata dallo staff di The Blank a conoscere i luoghi e i protagonisti dell’Arte Contemporanea a Bergamo.
Calendario: dal 20 Febbraio al 27 Maggio 2018.
La partecipazione è gratuita.
Progetto realizzato con il contributo di Fondazione ASM e Comune di 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.
