The School for Curatorial Studies is an ambitious and challenging project promoted since 2004 and conceived as a school committed to experimentation and interdisciplinary thinking. 

The main goals are to spread the knowledge in the field of visual arts and to introduce the students to the professions related to the art world, focusing on contemporary curatorial theory and practice and contemporary museology. 

The School’s activities are meant for all those interested and passionate in art, graduated students or professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and improve their practical skills. The School’s teaching staff is formed by Italian and international professionals, scholars, historians and art critics of recognized experience. Among them: Matt Williams (curator), Filippo Lotti (Sotheby’s), Chiara Barbieri (Peggy Guggenheim Collection), Louise McKinney (developer of developing high-profile cultural initiatives), Andrea Goffo (Found. Prada), Nicola Lees (Aspen Museum).

The program:

The Summer School in Curatorial Practice will take place during the International Biennale Venice. 

With an interdisciplinary approach, the course provides practical training and experience within museums and exhibition settings. Its international faculty includes curators and museum professionals, artists and critics. The course is designed to increase students understanding of the intellectual and technical tasks of the curator figure. English-taught lectures cover both theoretical and practical topics that go from the history of contemporary visual arts and practices of exhibition-making, to Exhibition Management. 

The students will participate in weekly activities, such as artist studio visits, tours of exhibition spaces, networking events and workshops. The program culminates with the set up of the exhibition.

The Summer School includes visits of specific art venues all over the city of Venice during the International Venice Biennale. A series of selected case studies will offer the students an opportunity to observe the development of contemporary art. The School’s goal is to align these specific theoretical lectures with a practical approach. 

Besides the theoretical lectures, a series of laboratories and workshops aims to introduce the students to the work of critical text writing, press releases and to structure all the different aspects of publishing. The students will be offered the possibility of a gallery training and of setting up together - with one of our tutors, their exhibition in Venice, as a final project of the course.

The Venice International Summer School in Curatorial Studies Open Call

**Private view: 18th november, 6 pm** 

**A plus A Gallery, Venice, San Marco 3073** 

**Flavio Delice, Samuel Gelas, Shamika Germain** 

**Organised by A plus A Gallery in collaboration with Campus Caraïbéen des Arts supported by the Institut français and the Direction des affaires culturelles de la Martinique.** 

**Curated by Paola Lavra** 

A plus A gallery and the Campus Caraïbéen des Arts are pleased to announce « Noutoupatou, Mondes caribéens en mouvement ». The exhibition, supported by the Institut français, and the Direction des affaires culturelles de la Martinique.coincides with the closing of the 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. 

Noutoupatou, is a word, a sound, an invitation to look closely at the works of three young artists from the Caribbean art scene, from the islands of Haïti, Guadeloupe and Saint Martin, graduates of the Campus Caraïbéen des Arts of Fort-de-France in Martinique: Flavio Delice, Samuel Gelas, Shamika Germain. The exhibition is curated by Paola Lavra, anthropologist and lecturer at the Campus Caraïbéen des Arts and former student at the School for Curatorial Studies Venice, in collaboration with May Clementé, Director of the Galerie École of the CCA. 

The project envisages a residency period for the artists in Venice, a masterclass proposed by Julien Creuzet and a series of initiatives aimed at creating a moment of exchange and encounter between the three artists and the city of Venice, both islands belonging to a vast archipelago that carries within itself an intricate network of relationships and connections to the world. The residency period will culminate with the opening of the exhibition in which the visitor will have the opportunity to confront that historical, sociological and cultural imprint that has profoundly marked the space and body, the plural and contradictory identity of a colonial society that constantly questions its origins, its affiliation and territorial status as a French island in the broader and more complex sphere of the Caribbean archipelago, its becoming in the globalised space of the Americas.

Today, the progressive deconstruction of the paradigm of Western modernity leaves room for new and singular paradigms of thought and action brought and translated by the specific language of contemporary art, inspired by the Glissantian poetics of relationship and « Tout monde ». 

It is in this context that Flavio Delice follows the path and cartography traced by the inhabitants of Haïti in constant migration towards other shores. A land of origin that he never inhabited, ‘not native’, Haïti is the founder of a whole poetic and artistic imaginary that is built on the thread of the testimonies and stories of the fleeing Haïtians. 

A real ‘ethnography of passages’ takes shape in the canvases and sculptures made from recycled materials that make up the daily life based on the ‘debrouillardise’ and the urgency of the Haitian population exposed to telluric movements and the permanent imbalance of a country at war, which is still paying the price for its revolution today. A notebook of a return to the land of dreams and childhood, the set of works is inscribed in the dramatic context of the current conflicts that agitate the island of Haïti. 

Shamika Germain uses the same device of immersion and capture (images, words and sounds) to narrate another migration: hers, that of the ‘Enfants de la Ddass’, children entrusted to public institutions or raised in foster families and care facilities. Collecting the voices and silences of bodies and souls separated from their mother’s womb translates into a rich production ranging from photography to drawing and painting, from sculpture to filmic device, from installation to performance of handwritten texts. Hard materials such as iron and iron cement are opposed to the softness of wool in the manufacture of ‘cradles’ that allude to the emptiness and lack of a childhood without dreams.

Intimacy thus becomes the support of a singular and polymorphous plastic and graphic writing, in the creation of an aesthetics of trauma, translated by the term créolo bless, a form of tragic catharsis operated by the reproduction and materialisation of the original wound. The individual story of the ‘Pupilles de l’État’ narrated by Shamika echoes the story of the Bumidom and the Enfants de la Creuse (1962/1984), the vast mass migration operation carried out by the Office for the Development of Migration in the overseas departments of which the children of the DOM territories (Réunion, Martinique, Guadeloupe) were the object and collateral victims. 

Finally, the universe of children is present and active in the imposing canvases of Samuel Gelas, vast group portraits that refer to the experience of each human being constituting a social group but also of a humanity of which childhood is the common denominator. The device of the class photo is distorted by the coded language of a bestiary that seems to illustrate the drifts of a society characterised by a hybrid identity, by the encounter/clash between multiculturalism and globalisation. Children are the society of tomorrow in the classroom that brings together and encourages the meeting of origins, religions and different systems of thought. 

In a context of crisis and multiform migrations bringing disparities linked to the concepts of class, race and gender, the poetics of relationship, the theoretical summa of Edouard Glissant, subverts the concept of class and inspires an artistic project based on the strength of the collective. The class portrait inscribes the individual in a social group that strongly affirms his singularity but also claims belonging to the world, to being Tout monde, where ‘the relationship becomes the infinite sum of all differences’. (Cf. L’invitation au voyage, 22 November 2004, E. Glissant interrogé par Laure Adler).

Special guest is the artist Julien Creuzet, representing France at the 60th. Biennale in Venice, the protagonist of a masterclass retracing the various stages of his career, which began in Martinique. 

The masterclass is organised by the Institut français, in collaboration with the Campus Caraïbéen des Arts. It is aimed at students from the Martinique and Caen Academies of Fine Arts, as well as students from the Lycée d’arts appliqués Victor Anicet in Saint Pierre. This event has been made possible thanks to the support of the Collectivité Territoriale de Martinique. 

Founded on the égida of Aimé Cesaire in 1984, the current Campus Caraïbéen des Arts s is a Higher School of Art sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Communication, integrated into the higher education system of French art schools. The only French-speaking centre for the teaching of the visual arts in the Caribbean and Central America, the higher institute puts into perspective the European system with which it is endowed in order to fit into the broader territoriality assigned to it by history and the status of ‘French overseas territory’. 

  
The exhibition can be visited from 18 November to 18 January 2025 at the Aplus A Gallery.

Open Call in Curatorial Studies Venice

**Online course by**Marysia Lewandowska 

20.11 – 6.12.2023

Deadline: November 10, 2023

  
London based, Polish born artist Marysia Lewandowska considers the uses of archives as conceptual tools helping to address relationships between people, their ideas and documents that survived dispersal associated with the passage of time. This seems especially relevant when tracing women’s cultural contributions and difficulties associated with finding their material evidence.The aim of this series of seminars is to bring attention to the relevance of voice and voicing understood in its wider sense as a contribution and political agency.Confronting absence, void, erasure or silence often acts as a catalyst for constructing an artwork, which becomes a corrective intervention in the process of re-visiting histories now. The artist places sound and voice as central agents in contemporary manifestations of political imaginary deployed through listening and feedback. This is consistent with her commitment bringing attention to the role women’s voices continue to play in diverse social contexts.The tactics associated with her practice resonate within a wider community urging us to re-discover and re-arrange the internal “structures of feeling” in which archival knowledge, material traces, artistic expression and open access are given a chance to cross-pollinate and to be heard.

VOICING THE ARCHIVE: WOMEN MAKE HISTORY.

A good preparation in the field of art philosophy helps contextualise topics that are too often treated superficially by curators and art critics. Making art or talking about art cannot be approached without a good knowledge of the philosophers who have been instrumental in developing theories of art. This is an experimental online course that wants to take a closer look at some conceptualizations made on beauty, philosophy of art, aesthetics and the sublime. In these first 6 online sessions we will have a closer look at Walter Benjamin, G.W.F. Hegel and Immanuel Kant. We call these theories and authors classical, which is a word to hide that we forgot about their theories in detail and that we effectively have only wrapped-up conclusions or prejudices about them in our minds.

Online workshop: Everything you need to know about curating and organising an exhibition or a pavilion at the (Venice) Biennale.

Punto Zero. An object that wanted to change the world, is an exhibition curated by the students of the School for Curatorial Studies Venice. This event has been created in collaboration with Video Sound Art Milan, a festival and production centre of contemporary art, Coordinated by Laura Lamonea (artistic director and curator) and Thomas Ba (curator). The students have developed a curatorial project investigating the invisible qualities of objects. Through installations, sculptures, sound, and site-specific performative events, the visitor will have the opportunity to confront the nature of the objects that surround us. The exhibition can be visited between the 13 and 21 of May at Istituto secondario di primo grado Pier Fortunato Calvi, located between the Giardini and the Arsenale of the Venice Biennale.

  
An object is a physical entity, that in its tangibility, contains values, narratives and memories. It is a medium but also an origin, a starting point for narrating and remembering, a punto zero. The space of the school symbolizes the place of our first encounters with socialization, and therefore it is where hierarchies are set and experienced. Reflecting in this way the dynamics of society. Resembling a punto zero where power relations get established through the arrangement of desks, chairs, and other objects.

  
The objects are charged with both individual and collective memory. They become, through the artists’ interventions, tools to reactivate these memories and evoke new ways of relating to them. The desk, the blackboard, the bell, are therefore protagonists of the performances. Inviting the visitors to reflect upon the power of objects to create relations with society and individuals. Punto Zero is an intervention that aims to involve all visitors in the exhibition by welcoming contributions such as images, texts, sentences and drawings that summarize what was or is an object that changed the world. Creating an archive, all of these contributions will be set up in a dedicated room dealing with the curatorial research that the students have been investigating in the past months.

  
Punto zero is an object, any. But which object wanted to change the world? 

  
The artists participating in the exhibition are Alvise Bittente, Oli Bonzanigo, Ludovico Colombo, Marilisa Cosello, Lea Pedri Stocco, Pierluigi Scandiuzzi, Lorenzo Servetti, Davide Zulli.

  
Send your contribution to curatorialschool@gmail.com by May 9th. We will display your intervention within the exhibition. You can send images, sentences, photographs, and poems, as long as they fit on an A4 sheet. Furthermore, it will be possible to bring the chosen object on display if its dimensions are small.

Punto Zero. An object that wanted to change the world

The 23rd course in Curatorial Practice and Contemporary Arts presents From the city, an itinerary exhibition around Venice focusing on the powers and the dynamics of contemporary cities.

Perceived in two different ways, Venice is a global city on the one hand, for the collective consciousness, always appears the same, as lost in the past in its defined structures, on the other hand over the last few decades, the city has been changed drastically by economic and social dynamics.
After curating the Rob Pruitt's Flea Market in 2015, this year the School for Curatorial Studies Venice and the A plus A gallery look at the city of Venice as a case study focusing on artistic, curatorial and theoretical research.
The exhibition will take place from 25th to the 31st of May in the districts of San Marco and Castello, next to the locations of Biennale - Arsenale and Giardini. International artists will interact with the city enhancing cultures, traditions and hidden areas/treasures. The artists taking part to the project are: Elena Bellantoni, Paolo Brambilla, Bros, Federica di Carlo, Quiet Ensemble, Roberto Fassone, Serena Fineschi, Jukai, Sophie Ko, Kensuke Koike, Robert Montgomery, Matteo Nasini, Guido Nosari, Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson, Emmanuele Panzarini, Marco Samorè, Sbagliato, Miriam Secco, Vincenzo Simone, Julian Soardi, Sebastiano Sofia, Jan Vormann.

The artworks will cohabit with the urban pattern, creating a link between the people and the context. The pubblic will be guided through the Sestrieri inspired by their memories and intimate symbols. The visitors will be guided through lanes and corners looking at the environment with a different and careful point of view; German artis Jan Vormann, brings back to Venice his Dispatchwork project repairing holes and cracks on the walls, using colorful and second hand plastic-toy bricks; Robert Montgomery creates a site-specific work focusing on the refugees matter linked with Venice as an in-between space where different cultures cohabit; poster artists group Sbagliato will catch the passerby attention creating illusionary spaces; Japanese artist Kensuke Koike will hide a kaleidoscopic world behind the peephole of a private's house door; Daniele Nicolosi, aka Bros, will present a symbolic work on the value of the art world and the city of Venice, using a series of one euro coins.

In this scenario the School for Curatorial Studies Venice intends to build an experimental laboratory and carry out a research on the theme of identity, on the lifestyle of the locals and on the new ways of living in the urban space through art. The headquarter of the exhibition will be near Arsenale - Sede del PCI - Corte Nova, Castello 2061/A - and it will be a place of  talks, debates around all the selected projects (realized and unrealized), along with opportunities of dialogue with the artists invited to participate actively in the platform with proposed topics of discussion. 
A final catalogue will be released combining all the different aspects of the project. Moreover, there will be the possibility to check all info and updates on www.fromthecityvenice.wordpress.com
Because From The City is all about Venice and its inhabitants, we have decided to actively invlove the local realities: a map illustrating restaurants, Venetian typical Bacari and bookshops will be released.
The event is supported by Pixartprintig where most of the printed material has been produced and by Belrosa Holding SA s.r.l.

From the city is curated by the students of the 23rd course in Curatorial Practice and Contemporary Arts of the School for Curatorial Studies Venice menaged by Aurora Fonda and Sandro Pignotti.

The students attending the 23nd edition of the "Course in Curatorial Practices and Contemporary Arts" are: Marta Artuso, Francesca Arzani, Roberta Bani, Cristina Bargna, Giulia Barbazza, Veronica Barisan, Marta Carlozzo, Mauro Casagrande, Federica Ceci, Alessandra Chiericato, Giulia di Paola, Giulia Felici, Claudia Ferraroni, Francesca Fialdini, Elena Fortunati, Danilo Fozzi, Giulia Garetto Romano, Giulia Giorgetti, Cristina Gordini, Valeria Manciagli, Margherita Masé, Francesca Montresor, Carlotta Muscaritoli, Salomé Nascimento, Chiara Perani, Giulia Pergola, Sara Prestini, Rossana Stellato, Chiara Tanchella, Silvia Tanzini. 
Notes:
The School for Curatorial Studies Venice was founded by Aurora Fonda in 2004 in Venice with the purpose of creating an open laboratory for the expression of creativity in the field of visual arts and the professions related to contemporary art. the Course in "Curatorial Practices and Contemporary Arts", now in its 23nd edition, is articulated on both a practical and theoretical level towards an experimental approach, culminating in a final event organized by the participating students. The couse is an ambitious and challenging project that aims to offer a vision of the complex world of contemporary art and offers a constructive contribution through the works produced by the School and its students.
