ART IN RESIDENCE

The residence project aims to promote national and international artistic migration by providing the opportunity to meet the realities of the historic city of Lucca and interact with areas, people, time.

OBJECTIVES

Each individual artist works on his or her own personal research. The residence activity is realised through the production and exhibition of works created during the stay, independently or together with other artists, interacting with them and developing common ideas on art and culture, and through open studios and workshops, in order to present the work of the guest artists.
Confident that art can help to renovate the perception of a place and to stimulate new relationships and new dynamics of coexistence in public, CONvictUS Lab offers a cultural program open to all.
Through the artistic residency programs and the exhibition activities, the celebrities of the world of arts and creativity will be invited to interact with the spaces and the city of Lucca to create projects and specific works of various kinds.
In fact, it will be those who will live in the CONvictUS who will define over time the form and features through their particular readings, making it a large open-air archive of stories and interpretations.
