Description
Villa Filanda Antonini - VFA - is an artist residency space conceived and directed by Giulio Feltrin and supported by Arper Feltrin Foundation. The latter is a nonprofit organization established at the initiative of the founding family of the design company Arper. In 2021 it supported the establishment of VFA in an old spinning mill located in Villorba, near the city of Treviso.
The Villa is an independent space dedicated to experimentation with the languages of contemporary art. Applicants to the artist residency programme are invited to explore the civic implications of art in relation to themes such as a sense of belonging and the environment. VFA aims to build a network of people and processes capable of interpreting the material and immaterial specificities of the place/region. The residency programme of Villa Filanda Antonini fosters a transdisciplinary dialogic approach. For this reason, the programme is open to artists of all disciplines, curators, designers, researchers, writers and architects.
