In such \u201copen\u201d spirit, its program aims to push the boundaries of the city of Matera, extending<br \/>tour routes and relationships beyond the historical center and the picturesque scenery of the Sassi, to<br \/>include the suburban areas of the city and the whole Basilicata region, southern Italy and the<br \/>Mediterranean. Matera, a small far away town, has been able to attract dozens of European partners<br \/>(including several German artists), on the basis of five overarching themes: Roots and Routes, Continuity<br \/>and Disruptions, Ancient Futures, Utopias and Dystopias, Reflections and Connections. Central to all<br \/>projects is the scope of involvement and participation of the community, whether that of permanent<br \/>citizens, defined as \u201ccultural inhabitants\u201d, or of the visitors, invited to be \u201c(con)temporary citizens\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Open Design School<\/strong> is one of the core projects of Matera 2019, conceived and curated by Joseph<br \/>Grima as an interdisciplinary lab composed of professionals from Basilicata, the rest of Italy and Europe,<br \/>including from Germany, such as Lukas Wegwerth. It is a horizontal platform, a place of interdisciplinary<br \/>learning and experimentation without strict hierarchies in which everyone learns from everyone, in an<br \/>atmosphere of mutual enrichment. Its living laboratory, through experimentation and interdisciplinary<br \/>innovation, will lead to the design and production of the staging of Matera 2019, both for the city and for<br \/>the other places and projects involved. The Open Design School will be marked by a process of constant<br \/>creative exchange between art, science and technology: its designs and prototypes will foster open<br \/>systems based on an open structure matrix, in order to define elements that can be assembled in different<br \/>ways so as always to create bespoke structures for various installations. An International Summer School<br \/>on the theme of design will be organized in August-September 2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cStratigraphy. Anthropocene Observatory\u201d<\/strong>, curated by photographer and film-maker Armin Linke, is one<br \/>of the four main exhibitions in the Matera 2019 program and will be inaugurated in Matera on 6th<br \/>September 2019. It will present artistic research started in 2013 as the result of a commission by the Haus<br \/>der Kulturen der Welt cultural space in Berlin, and then developed in collaboration with international<br \/>scientific and artistic institutions. The exhibition will investigate the role played by scientific, political and<br \/>action-focused institutions involved in issues relating to geology, the atmosphere and the oceans,<br \/>including the consequences of changes to the climate, the landscape and the biosphere attributed to<br \/>mankind. The exhibition will retrace the story of the biological and energy resources that underpin the<br \/>theory of changes created by human activity, through projections, photos and field work conducted in<br \/>Matera and Basilicata.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Italian Embassy to Germany, the Italian National Tourist Board &#8211; ENIT and the Matera Basilicata 2019Foundation are glad to invite you to the presentation \u201cOpen Design, Open Future: Matera European Capitalof Culture 2019 as a laboratory for contemporary co-creation\u201d, next Thursday, December 6th at 10.30 am(Conference begins at 11:00) at the Italian Embassy to [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambberlino.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambberlino.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambberlino.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambberlino.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambberlino.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ambberlino.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4295\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambberlino.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambberlino.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
