// Art can generate virtuous devices able to help us decode our time and our space
For Artists, Creatives and Curators
in movement!!
“2° PIANO ART RESIDENCY” is an independent artistic residency program, an artist-run space that hosts artists called to explore, interact and interpret reality. The artist Cristiano Pallara opens the doors to welcoming Artists, Creatives and Curators on the move, activating a virtuous and shared process of research and experimentation.
Our mission is to support the growth of young artists in their research and practice, provide space for experimentation, and to foster the equal and constructive exchange between artists and the public.
ZNSproject is a network of artists, critics, and art theorists. This residency provides an opportunity for collaboration, discussion, and reflection on contemporary art.
2°Piano Art Residency is operated by artists for artists, as an alternative to government or business-sponsored organizations. This program exists solely to benefit artists and the community. Our goal is to educate and to create open discussion; relying on the mutual trust and respect among our members. Our community is the foundation of 2°Piano.
