VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK 2017




The new project of the Venice International Performance Art Week
"CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Prologue 1”
European Cultural Centre | Palazzo Mora, Venice (IT)
Open to the public on the days December 14-16, 2017
__________________________________________________________

With a new project under the title "CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Prologue 1", the Venice International Performance Art Week heads into a new direction. Founded on the principles of artistic collaboration, cooperation and temporary artistic community, "CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY" is born to be an artistic experience of a different kind.

The concept developed out of the ART WEEK's core mission and its Educational Learning Program. The aim is to empower participating international artists who have been selected through an Open Call, to articulate and develop their individual praxis during ten days within an independent temporary autonomous zone of co-creation, under the tuition of the artists Marilyn Arsem, VestAndPage and Andrigo&Aliprandi.

The culmination of this 10 days co-creation process will be open to the public on December 14-16, 2017: we will transform the ART WEEK venue Palazzo Mora together into a dynamic performance site through a series of collective performance operas, as well as collaborative and solo performances.

The project is intended for those artists, performers, visionary poets, who wish to articulate and refine their skills, expand their practice, exploring new ideas and approaches, allowing their work to become more fully realised. It offers a rare opportunity to explore new territories of performance in an extended, intensive period of time outside of an academic setting. It is both a learning path and a unique occasion to work and collaborate together in the ART WEEK venue at the European Cultural Centre | Palazzo Mora, while strengthening the creative talent and intellectual freedom of each participant.

"CO-CREATION LIVE FACTORY Prologue 1" consists of:

• 10 days of intensive co-creation workshop processes for selected international artists in tutor groups led by the artists ANDRIGO & ALIPRANDI (Italy), MARILYN ARSEM (US) and VestAndPage (Venice/Germany), including discussions on specific topics structured in the form of roundtables and open dialogues.

• Morning lectures and artistic interventions by ROBIN DEACON (Artist, Chicago), JILL MCDERMID & ERIK HOKANSON (Artists and directors, New York); PREACH R SUN (Artist, US), and MARCEL SPARMANN (Artist, Germany), as well as lectures by ELISABETTA DI MAMBRO (Artistic director and producer, Venice) and FRANCESCA CAROL ROLLA (Curator, Venice).

• Three days program of public performances on 14 - 16 December 2017 at the Venice International Performance Art Week venue Palazzo Mora, Venice (Admission free), including an exhibition section displaying performance pedagogical material.
