During the Fall 2013 semester, the School of Arts and Sciences and its Community Engagement Member Institution F_AIR have been recognized by important initiatives of contemporary art. The following are two important external projects that have involved the students of SAS to cultivate their participation in the arts of tomorrow and to expose them to the challenge of presenting to real audiences.

 

The Wrestlers project was recently selected for the 97th group exhibition at the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in Venice on December 14th, in the city’s breathtaking San Marco square. This collective project was created by Marco Di Giuseppe and Fabrizio Sartori for the Trial Version group, and was featured in the April-May issue of Blending Newsletter to cover the involvement of FUA Fine Arts students. Trial Version’s mission is to take art-based projects to spaces such as stores, laboratories, and offices that have been closed in order to stimulate re-engagement and activity. The Wrestlers took place at a former-late night industrial bakery just a few steps away from the fine arts campus this past June.


On December 5th, the classes of Foundation Sculpture and of Contemporary Italian Art participated in a public presentation of the Boundary Line contest. The project was promoted by the educational department of the Center for Contemporary Culture Strozzina, a part of the Renaissance location and museum complex of Palazzo Strozzi. Katerine Calderoni and Shelbie Monkres commented and explained the artworks by fellow students Kate Gugliotta and Mario Ayala developed during the Foundation Sculpture course under the guidance of F_AIR’s resident artist Larissa Aharoni. The joint venture of the two classes resulted in an excellent and coherent result presented within the prestigious context of CCC Strozzina.
