AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Seven artists from all over the world will be selected

Deadline: October 20, 2011

Le Ville Matte is a network of artists’ residencies sponsored by the Province of Cagliari – Department for Culture and Sport – in collaboration with Villasor and Cooperativa Teatro Fueddu e Gestu in Sardinia, Italy.

An open call is set to select seven artists from all over the world (deadline: October 20). They will have the opportunity to experiment and study for four weeks (from December 2 to December 30, 2011) with a great performance artist, visiting professor Serge Pey. In order to increase the visibility of the selected artists’ works, two internationally acclaimed artists will also take part of "Le Ville Matte" as short-term guests: Li-Ping Ting and Michel Raji. They will be involved in a theoretical - practical and demonstrative work.

The Program 2011 is entitled “KRISIS: Crisis of art and Art of crisis”. Artists will also be involved in theoretical and practical activities on the history of Performance art through conferences, round tables and film screenings.

By focusing on the evolution of artistic languages and on the artists' need to experiment, the project promotes periods of study and research. Le Ville Matte offers an experience of life and work in small towns, thus giving the opportunity to live in close contact with the community.

The residency will end with a final show and a publication, documenting the works produced during the training and research period. In order to understand and live the territory, three days of excursion are also planned.
