Corso Aperto will be held at Villa Sucota from 2 to 22 of July. Each artist will present their own work within a route constituted by performative events, visual and audio installations, and environmental interventions, and will be able to change his personal presentation during the course directed by Susan Hiller. For the first time this year, Corso Aperto will last for the whole the duration of the Advanced Course. Corso Aperto, which is conceived as an event halfway between an exhibition and a series of studio’s visits, would like to be a melting pot for a community of young artists, committed to their researches and experimentations, and a public interested in contemporary art creative processes.

Villa Sucota and the surrounding spaces will be used in an unconventional and flexible way that is responding to the attitudes of the participating artists and to the characteristics of their work.

The participants of the XVII edition of the Advanced Course in Visual Arts are: Eva Barto (France); Lindsay Benedict (USA); Emma Buswell (Australia); Nayari Castillo (Venezuela); Jagna Ciuchta (Poland); Matthew Coombes (UK); Gerard Cuartero (Spain); Dario D’Aronco (Italy); Roberto De Pol (Italy); Stefan Eichhorn (Germany); Elif Erkan (Germany); Maria Elena Fantoni (Italy); Roberto Fassone (Italy); Sarah Fuller (Canada); Giovanni Giaretta (Italy); Carolin Koss (Germany); R. Lyon (USA); Marta Roberti (Italy); Johanna Sophie Santos Bassetti (Spain); Iacopo Seri (Italy).

On the 21st of July there will be the ceremony of the VI edition of the Epson FAR Award for the Artistic Research. The Award was created in 2006 thanks to the contribute of Epson Italy, that decided to support the young participant artists with an award to the work that reveals highest visual experimentation.

Corso Aperto is open to the public in conjunction with the lectures and other events at the Fondazione, or from Monday to Friday from 3 pm to 6 pm.
