One Year Score educational program runs from November 2024 to November 2025 with a series of workshops. Drawing on their own practices, brought to life in the respective works installed in the spaces of Scuola Piccola Zattere, Ludovica Carbotta and Tomaso De Luca adopt the pedagogical format as a space for research, sharing and activation of the artistic process. In dialogue with the general research theme of the open relationship between score and execution, the workshops will explore the field in which spatial politics and performative practices intersect, observing architecture as a social construct, as a living and collective body.

In February, Tomaso De Luca will propose a path that starts from the study of miniature practices to develop a reflection on formats such as the portable exhibition and the lecture-performance, seen as models of anti-monumental and anti-institutional practices, at the crossroads between artistic, theoretical and educational dimensions. The workshop is in dialogue with the video installation A Week's Notice (2020), a choreography of miniature architectures that evokes the trauma of the disappearance of an entire community, in what Sarah Schulman defined as the phenomenon of AIDS gentrification. The work is an ode to queer architecture and its anti-normativity, an attempt to compensate for histories, affections, and dwellings.

I Come From Outside of Myself (2022-ongoing) is Ludovica Carbotta's proposal for an ideal pavilion to represent Europe at international events. The project originates from the observation of the mutability of European borders, porous for the movement of goods and people within them and, instead, strict for those outside them. The artist's idea is not about constructing a permanent building that contains people, but rather a potential space that can be “contained”: a mobile, miniature architecture, capable of passing from hand to hand, from country to country. The model-pavillions become both amulets and means of opening a space of inquiry into borders, rights, and freedom of movement. In March, Carbotta presents the new session of the workshop programme, featuring experts from various fields. The workshop is configured as an educational proposal and at the same time as an initial phase in the production of a new artistic project, in which speculative writing methodologies will be explored for the design of a filmic work.

The workshops planned for spring will focus on architecture and the potential of public space reuse practices.
The first workshop will be by the artistic collective -ATI, founded in Rome in 2013, composed of architects, visual artists, philosophers, photographers, and performers. Their research focuses on art conceived as a method of investigation within and with the city. The collective’s approach is based on interaction and direct involvement with urban spaces, challenging traditional modes of public space usage and proposing experiences that stimulate reflection on the relationship between the individual and the urban context.
Following that, there will be a workshop with Fosbury Architecture, a design and research collective established in Milan in 2013, who were commissioned to adapt the spaces of Scuola Piccola Zattere upon its opening. Their design practice interprets architecture as a tool for mediating between collective and individual needs, expectations and resources, sustainability and pragmatism, environment and human beings.
 

The dates and participation conditions for the various workshops will be published on the website in the coming weeks.
