Temporary Studio EX-NEW

Have you ever considered the possibility of working in a temporary studio?

Do you live in Brianza and do not have a studio to realize your works or projects?

Do you need a location suited for studio visits and to share your work with art professionals such as curators, gallerists, art critics and bloggers?

Are you looking for a place to interact with technology and digital fabrication and, at the same time, to make use of the services provided by our experts?

Do you need a studio to create (design, paint, draw) in solitude or in a collaborative community environment, away from the chaos of the big cities and yet just a few kilometers from the center of Milan?

Do you need a specific type of studio for a temporary, custom-built use?

The Temporary Studio welcomes requests from local and international artists. It is designed to offer artists working with the most diverse media a unique opportunity: a specific area within Ex-Filanda of Sulbiate which guarantees and provides concrete resources for artistic growth, with the additional support of tutoring and feedback sessions. Experts from the contiguous MakerSpace will be at disposal to help you expand your creative horizon and teach you to interact with digital fabrication and with the most recent technologies.
For contemporary artists, the concept of studio is constantly evolving. It traveled through history, from Renaissance workshops it finally settled into the narrow virtual spaces of our personal computers. Yet the myth of the bohémien artist, lost among extravagances, palettes and trestles in total freedom of expression, has survived the digital area. Are we perhaps realizing the progressive and inexorable impoverishment of our manual skills in parallel to the decline of our perceptive capacities? The future seems to suggest a return to craftsmanship and manual skills,
but with an important distinction: digital culture goes beyond the dividing line between practice and reflection and positions the artist and his work in an infinite contribution-line without a fixed identity. In this renewed environment, is the studio the place where the work is conceived or where it is physically realized? Is it really necessary to have a fixed, physical place to develop the entire production process? Can artists cross the lines circumscribing their own creative environment and experience a wholeness made up of the complexities of the artistic process and of its result?

Artists will have a place for both reflection and action and the public will be invited to discover how a work of art is conceived and realized.
