“Quotidiana” 16

Quotidiana is a project for the contemporary arts active since 1995, promoted by the Youngsters Project Office of the Padua Municipality.

The exhibit for the 2016 edition will be held from March the 18th to May the 6th 2016 at the Altinate San Gaetano Cultural Centre.

Among the new activities offered in Quotidiana 16, the selected artists will be granted a seminary held by Gianluca D’Incà Levis, curator of Dolomitit Contemporanee.
That will be an opportunity to confront media, tools and possibilities of the contemporary’s practices.
The aim is also to propose a more in-depth study or theoretical reflection among the artists to favour new meetings among the partecipants.

The Seminary (not open to the public) will be held on Saturday, March the 19th, from about 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, at the Altinate San Gaetano Cultural Centre, headquarters of the exhibit (via Altinate 71, Padua), and will include the presentation of the four curators of Q16‘s edition.

Tra gli obbiettivi principali di Quotidiana, vi è la valorizzazioine delle esperienze artistiche più innovative e sperimentali, indagate da artisti emergenti nel panorama italiano.

Il progetto si sviluppa in collaborazione con GAI – Associazione per il Circuito dei Giovani Artisti Italiani, e prende vita con un bando nazionale aperto agli artisti tra i 18 e i 35 anni, i cui selezionati prenderanno parte alla mostra collettiva.

Gli obiettivi di Quotidiana sono:
- promuovere i giovani artisti a livello nazionale favorendo lo sviluppo di progetti cooperativi tra gli operatori della cultura;
- attivare occasioni di formazione e informazione per la crescita di figure professionali legate al sistema culturale locale, regionale e nazionale;
- influire sullo sviluppo di nuove modalità di relazione con la città e il territorio attraverso i linguaggi del contemporaneo.

La rassegna è articolata in quattro sezioni:
Q esposizione, 18 marzo-6 maggio 2016: esposizione collettiva di arti visive riservata ad artisti under 35, selezionati attraverso un concorso nazionale.
Q aperta, 7 aprile-21 maggio: sezione di interventi di public art, realizzati ad invito, da artisti e curatori di fama internazionale.
Q a parole, da aprile a maggio: ciclo d’incontri pubblici con operatori del settore dell’arte e della cultura, sul sistema dell’arte contemporanea, che offre uno sguardo d’insieme sulle nuove tendenze dell’arte contemporanea
Q a scuola: laboratori creativi e percorsi didattici per le scuole elementari, medie e superiori

Oltre alla promozione dell’attività artistica, Quotidiana svolge anche un ruolo formativo orientato alla crescita professionale dei giovani artisti.
