Training objectives
- The course aims to provide to the students the theoretical instruments of approach to the present experiences of the contemporary art, according to a double objective:
1) Knowledge, in relation to the historical and critical context, of the principal national and international artistic researches, developed at the beginning of the Seventies, giving more attention to the sphere of the current searches.
2) Ability to critically interpret questions inherent the periods, topics, tendencies and experiences of individual artists that have constituted the range of a complex field such as that of the contemporary art. Prerequisites
- It is necessary a basic knowledge of the historical events of contemporary art, particularly of the contributions dictated by the avant-garde affirmed in the first half of the Twentieth century.
Course programme
- Art & Environment: creative experiences in the urban.
From space to places.
Beginning from the definition of environmental art, often misunderstood, the course intends to examine significant experiences of intervention in the urban, tracing a brief history and a phenomenology of development since the seventies. Attention will be paid in this sense to a national and international history, produced between different cases of interventions: ephemeral, temporary or permanent. It is a line of interest that, looking mainly at the prospects of dialogue with the city, will not neglect to consider creative experiences in nature, with examples of parks and public and private gardens.
From historical assumptions of Volterra '73, passing through the creations of Ernest Pignon Ernest in Paris in the early seventies, we will dwell on some temporary interventions such as those of P. zza Plebiscito in Naples in the nineties or on the inventions of Luci d'Artista in Turin started at the end of the same decade, to move on to permanent interventions such as the parks of sculptures of Fattoria di Celle started in the early eighties, of Giardino dei Tarocchi in Capalbio, of Campo del Sole on Trasimeno, of Castello di Ama in Chianti, the Parco della Marrana in Sarzana or the Giardino del Gigante in Cento, up to considering cases of new permanent urban design such as the Défense in Paris in the developments between the 1970s and 1990s, the Lisbon subway of Expo98, the Barcelona of Maragal between 1986 and 1992, the Gibellina site created in the aftermath of the great earthquake of 1968. Didactic methods
- The course will consist in lessons of theoretical nature conducted with the screening of iconographic material. It will also suggest seminars of close examination and comparison with figures, among artists and critics, that have given, in particular regarding Ferrara, their own contribution to the development of the events in examination.
Learning assessment procedures
- The final test is in oral form and it will cover the themes analysed during the lessons and meetings. It provides for both a good knowledge of the texts indicated in bibliography as an ability of critical contextualize of the discipline and its relative topics. The exam will have a duration of about twenty minutes during which three or four questions will direct to the candidate.
