The Association Arte in Cascina has the purpose of promotion and development in the field of culture, art and creativity and in the promotion in favor of artists and creative people in general. In particular, the Association promoted cultural activities regarding Land Art and exhibitions of artists within the farmsteads placed outside urban territory. The first project realized by the Association is - "Art and Food in Cascina " - developed in the agricultural structures and farms around Milan, Italy.
The positive outcome of the project carried out in 2014 pushed to work on even more ambitious projects. The Association is now organizing the event "Land Art in Cascina - Art from Nature" dedicated to Land Art as part of the cultural program of the Civil Society Pavilion at Expo 2015 in Cascina Triulza .
LAND ART IN CASCINA
International Call for Artists
International Call for Artists for the creation of a Lad Art work to be displayed in the courtyard of Cascina Triulza-Civil Society Pavilon at Expo Milano 2015 and of 4 more works to be installed in major naturalistic Parks of the area.
Scope of the Call.
Through this international Call, Fondazione Triulza and Arte in Cascina seek artists from all countries and of all ages who are active in the development of Land Art works and their installation in nature.
The objective of the Call is the selection of a Land Art or Nature Art work to be installed in the exterior area of the Civil Society Pavilion at Expo Milano 2015; the purpose of the work is to visually illustrate the intermingling of art and nature through an artistic creation. The selected artwork – “Cascina Triulza Winner” - should be iconographic and representative of the Expo Milano 2015 theme, of the way it is interpreted by the Civil Society Pavilion-Cascina Triulza and of the concept of Land Art. Four additional Land Art work projects – referred to as “Park Awards” – will be selected and installed by the selected artists in major naturalistic Parks of the area.
The “Vincitore Cascina Triulza” Land Art work will be placed in the courtyard of the Civil Society Pavilion-Cascina Triulza at Expo Milano 2015, in the space called “Frutteto” (Orchard), next to the picnic area (see map in the attached documents).
