In collaborazione con Accademia Unidee e ArtEz -University of the Arts (NL), Talk & Drink è una serie di presentazioni e conversazioni gratuite con artisti, curatori e studiosi, in compagnia di un bicchiere di vino.

Accademia Unidee accoglie a Cittadellare-Fondazione Pistoletto un gruppo di studenti d’arte di BEAR, il programma di Belle Arti della ArtEZ University of the Arts di Arnhem (NL). Durante il periodo di residenza, Accademia Unidee organizza una serie di conferenze informali aperte sia agli artisti in residenza che al pubblico in generale. È un’opportunità per gli studenti di esplorare temi di ricerca artistica e di entrare in dialogo diretto con professionisti contemporanei. Ma anche un modo per il pubblico di capire meglio cosa fanno i singoli artisti, il loro lavoro e la loro identità.

Gli eventi di Talk & Drink saranno tenuti in lingua inglese.

Episodio 3:
For the first Talk & Drink of this year Accademia Unidee and Spazio Hydro welcome the painter and multidisciplinary artist Sara Leghissa

Sara Leghissa is an independent Italian based artist whose work embraces performing, making and curation and whose research arises from a need of connection and transformation with contexts and people.

Her artistic practice takes place mainly in public spaces. Through a principle of ecology of resources, she uses as much as possible of what is already available outdoors in the space. She creates systems and devices that try to be mimetic with the context in which they occur for intercepting different audiences. She uses accessible technologies linked to the ordinary to convey images and contents.

Her curatorial practice hinges on being an independent artist. She co-organizes for the Italian scene Nobodys Indiscipline, an international and independent platform for the exchange of practices in the Performing Art; NESSUNO, a public gathering for a community of people who, during the night, reclaim and celebrate the energy of bodies and their differences; Una Sauna, a shared wooden room containing the equipment to obtain dry air at a high temperature, which becomes an expedient for encountering and constructing collective practices.

She co-founded the Strasse collective, a site-specific creation project that works within the frames of performance and cinema, to question and intensify our relationship to reality.

She has presented her artistic work in various contexts, such as Santarcangelo Festival (IT), Short Theatre (IT), Triennale Teatro Dell’Arte (IT), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (IT), Centro Pecci (IT), far Festival (CH), Sareyett (PS), La Casa Encendida (E), Festival Parallèle (FR), Saal Biennal (EE), Les Tombées De La Nuit (FR), Mir Festival (GR), Beursschouwburg e Kunstencentrum Vooruit (BE).
