CRISOL – creative processes is a project born in 2019 with the idea of developing shared work processes that can promote exchanges of practices between Italian and international artists and operators, favoring the encounter between different cultures, concepts and ways of working and activating processes of transnational co-creation.
For the next few years, the project aims to encourage new opportunities for collective research by supporting artists who intend to experiment an active relationship with space and landscape, through original approaches and innovative formats, also designed for unconventional places, which can build a horizontal, open and dialogue with the viewer.
CRISOL 2022-24, financed under the Boarding Pass Plus 2022/2023/2024 programme of the Italian Ministry of Culture, is promoted by a network of 7 Italian organisations, of which Fabbrica Europa is the lead partner, and by 9 international partners from Belgium, Norway, Spain, India, Macao, Singapore, Japan, Canada and Cuba.
This current constellation of artists comprises of 6 artists from Italy and Asia – Albert Garcia (Taipei/Macao), Roberta Racis (Rome), Er Gao (Guangzhou), Fabio Novembrini (Florence), Jereh Leung (Singapore), and Olimpia Fortuni (Milan), with artist and artistic director of Dance Nucleus (Singapore) Daniel Kok as dramaturg and facilitator.
Diorama – Activating the Gaze
Diorama is an exhibition of performance activations proposed by 6 artists. Each proposition responds to an overall thematic frame of the diorama, by which we review models of representation in the performing arts. Each of the performances in this programme are not completed works per se, but are on-going investigations into how we gaze at each other’s bodies, spaces and cultures in an intercultural context. As the Crisol artists meet each other in different places over several years, each time building upon our individual as well as collective explorations, we would like to instigate conversations around how we present ourselves, how we speak, move and see one another. By testing out different strategies, we also hope to arrive at new potentials for creativity and deeper engagement in contemporary performance.
This ‘exhibition’ of performances will take place across 4 hours, during which the audience can join the artists and encounter one another in videos, installations, conversations, and dance. The audience may enter the space and stay for as long as they like. They are also invited to consider how they might like to interact with the artists’ presentations.
