Fifth program of artistic residence Mir (Migrart In Residence) in Lignano Sabbiadoro (UD),
dal 31 March at 5 April 2025
Migrart In Residence, MIR (che significa “pace” in lingua slava), It is the fifth program of contemporary art residence organized by the Association of free minds with the support of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region and in collaboration with the Municipality of Lignano and other entities and associations of the regional territory and nearby Slovenia.
The Association, active for over ten years in the context of social promotion through participatory art, aims to create creative projects that deseasonalize the Adriatic town of Lignano.
The residence was created to culturally stimulate and raise awareness of a seaside community that, outside the crowded summer season, lives under the banner of a bare creative and aggregative environment.
The goal of the short residency that will take place from 31 March at 5 April in Lignano is to stimulate a reflection on the Lignanese dichotomous reality but also to encourage the encounter also difficult among young emerging artists, established artists on the national scene and the host territory.
In fact, they will be Michele Bazzana, Ryts Monet and Kristian Sturi the three senior artists called to play the role of tutor against the six emerging artists under 30 selected after the open call.
The selected artists of the edition 2025 they will subsequently exhibit their works during the final exhibition which will take place inside the space35 of Udine from 17 al 26 September 2025.
Under the careful eye of the curator Eva Comuzzi, the three senior artists will accompany young artists and artists for the week of residence in the processing of a reflection on the singular context in which they find themselves working, that of a seaside resort in transit from summer lights to winter hibernation.
During the days of residence scheduled in Lignano, the organization will take care to carry out short guided tours in some emblematic spaces of the seaside resort and short training moments in order to offer artists a wider landscape and socio -cultural panoramic panoramic.
