TRANS – ART EDUCATION
TRANS is addressed to student artists wishing to develop their research and to explore the fields of transmission from the basis of their own artistic standpoint. TRANS places the artistic project at the centre of a programme which links personal work, joint questioning, the sharing of experiences and the realisation of communication projects.
Individualised tutoring and workshops led by invited artists encourage students to assert their own artistic language. Group work, the narration of experiences, displays, oral and written presentations, critical analyses of work procedures and approaches, exhibition and other visits open the way to shared reflection. Courses, writing master classes, “culture club”, selfrun workshops, lectures and meetings with professionals from the world of culture provide the knowledge required for students to situate their work, to present it and to imagine how their experiences can be transposed in order to be transmitted.

WORK.MASTER – CONTEMPORARY ARTISTIC PRACTICES
WORK.MASTER is addressed to students-artists with the desire to broaden and develop their practical work in a framework which promotes transdisciplinarity and collaboration between different fields and domains. WORK.MASTER is structured around the realisation of personal projects on a one-to-one basis. Combining research and artistic practice, this course aims at a high level of competence and transversality.
WORK.MASTER questions and promotes situations in which the intermixing and hybridisation of fields are the central issues. If the different areas of plastic research explored come from known artistic practices such as drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video, performance art, installation or intervention in the public space, they are continually enriched by contributions from contemporary art theories and specialised workshops such as: printing, publishing, writing, sound, animation, etc., as well as participating in mobile and innovative research platforms: digital art, 3-D, interaction, scripting, net activism, physical computing, software art, etc.
