Learning from the space in art installations

Abstract

The international workshop “ESTETISEMAS (ET)” has been proposed as a continuation of a previous one, “The room is empty and the inhabitant enters”, both within the program of the Corso di Teorie dell'Architettura del corso di laurea di Arti Visive of the IUAV de Venice, in collaboration with the Recognized Research Group of the University of Valladolid ESPACIAR, and with Venetian artistic institutions such as Ca 'Pesaro and the VAC Foundation. They have reflected on the teaching value of the various spatial categories shared by architecture and other plastic disciplines. For this, several environmental activation installations have been carried out in groups in two Baroque palaces, headquarters of the host institutions. The term aestheticism, proposed by Jorge Oteiza, establishes an equation between two constitutive elements of architecture and contemporary art: space and time.
