Not just paintings but platforms.
Create together with the artist images composed of evolving stories and situations
On the occasion of the focus show devoted to Miltos Manetas, an artist recognised on an international level for his internet-based works, MAXXI is staging an open call to find 20 people to participate actively in the conception, realisation and modification of the pictorial cycle The Internet Paintings, together with the artist.
THE WORKSHOP
Thanks to this workshop enter into the thinking and modus operandi of the artist and discover that painting is not necessarily a practice that requires talent! All that is required is a subject and ten or so instructions drafted by the artist himself, with a nod towads appropriationism (Manetas Dogma of Painting on www.francescobonami.com).
The subject chosen for this workshop is Landscape, understood as what scrolls before our eyes as we look at computer or mobile phone screens. Togther with Manetas and in collaboration with the artists Nora Renaud and Arlen Siu Vásquez, participatns will create experiments in Ñewpressionism and Soprarealtà and, in the same spirit NEEN, they will look for something new without organizing anything, so that everything happens unexpectedly.
During the workshop, the artist will make operative and shared interventions within the museum’s exhibition space: through pigments extracted from vegetables and fruit, the previously painted images will in fact be cancelled and “monochromized”, ready to embrace new stories.
