... about the interview without coming to any conclusion.
Well maybe we should just answer the questions. We should also continue a discussion on the blog. But I guess Yuki is right, not everyone will join...
Also, maybe we should try out the idea of interviewing each other? We can try many things and see what comes out of it. The more material the Mousse guys have the better, right..?
Kisses to everyone! How's your work for Milan proceeding?
I like some of the ideas that has been posted on the blog about the interview so far. I agree with Daniele that there might be too many questions, and as Andrea wrote it would be interesting to have a kind of round table discussion. In that case I think it should be done on the blog and not thru e-mails, as someone else suggested. Isn't that what the blog is for? For us to write down ideas and discuss the work shop? But I also think we should make this as simple and clear as possible. The idea with the magazine is that each and one of us will get our own page, with images and text, right? So I'm wondering, if we would do a kind of discussion/interviewing each other instead of the interview that Mousse sent us, how would it fit into the idea of each of us having our own page? Will it be confusing or not for the reader? I would also like to hear more from the Mousse magazine and what they think is the best solution. After all they are responsible for the lay out.
I hope everyone is doing well!
Back in Gothenburg, rainy Gothenburg! The weather is reflecting my psychological state of mind... Well, maybe Im exaggerating a little bit, but already I miss the Italian sun!
Today we went to Milano to see the exhibition spaces. Afterwards some of us went to see Luigi Ontani's show, the Duomo and also some of the exclusive shops by Dior, Versace etc...... Some of us stayed in Milano, some of us drove back to Como and some of us went somewhere else. Me and Jamie came back to Como at around 8 pm and decided to have dinner together. We were talking about different things and at some point our conversation reached the theme of déjà vu. Jamie said that he had had déjà vus here in Como which was really strange, because this was the first time he was in Europe. I was surprised because I too remembered having one or two déjà vu while being here, but I didn't think about it more than just established the fact that I had a déjà vu. What surprised me even more was when Jamie told me that even Ryan had had a déjà vu here. So what does this mean? Of course it doesn't have to mean anything, but at the same time you would think that it is a little odd..? Have anyone else had any déjà vus or is it just the three of us? Would you like to believe that it is just a coincidence or is it something more?
Il Corso Superiore di Arti Visive della Fondazione Antonio Ratti è un seminario di perfezionamento intensivo per giovani artisti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Diretto da Annie Ratti dal 1995 e a cura di Anna Daneri, Roberto Pinto e Cesare Pietroiusti, è concepito come un laboratorio di sperimentazione artistica e teorica, condotto da artisti di rilevanza internazionale.
La tredicesima edizione del CSAV si tiene durante il mese di luglio 2007 e ha come visiting professor Joan Jonas.
Video maker, performer, disegnatrice, scultrice, Joan Jonas (New York, 1936) è considerata una delle figure di riferimento dell'arte americana del Secondo dopoguerra.
Quest'anno i ventuno artisti partecipanti - insieme a tutti i soggetti che graviteranno attorno al corso - daranno vita a questo blog.
L'idea è quella di creare una piattaforma di espressione e di scambio, che possa documentare l'attività quotidiana del corso e funzionare come valvola di sfogo di un'esperienza collettiva.
Il blog sarà curato dalla redazione di Mousse Magazine, che si occuperà inoltre dell'edizione del catalogo di fine corso.
