- Discipline: Visual Arts
- Targetgroup: International
Description
Le Ville Matte constitute a network of artist residencies promoted by the Province of Cagliari, in collaboration with the municipalities of Villasor, Teulada and Orroli. Focusing the attention on the continuous evolution of artistic languages and on the need for artists to experiment and relate, the Province of Cagliari promotes study and research residencies in territories that share valuable environmental and landscape features, and fosters new productions in the field of music, writing and visual arts, as well as promoting an exchange between artists and the territory. The residencies aim to bring together groups of maximum ten artists from Italy and abroad, offering them, for one month, space to develop their activity and material for their work and research. During the residency, the artists are coordinated by a visiting professor who guides the group in the study of the territory, focusing on specific themes to work on and supporting their research. The works produced during the residency must have a strong connection to the territory and yet go beyond a local dimension. Each residency ends with a final event in which the works produced during the sojourn are presented.
