The art project philosophy engaging in loose reflections ranging from a symbiotic man-nature relationship to the respect for biodiversity, to the concept of travel as an experience and union of styles, cultures, tradition and visions.
Artists working with any media are welcome. We look for works with an organic and plural aesthetics identity which tell a story of quality, reviling portions of nature, through reinterpreting and regenerating with the concept and expressive style of the artists.

During the days of residence, excursions and guided tours will be organized to get to know the place and the surrounding areas.The artists will receive the material /stuff to work on site and according to the type of project, they will be able to request other necessary material. Each day artists will work in a different landscape and they will have enough time to get involved with each scenario.

Each one will have individual feedback and all together will participate in round tables. Works made during the residency (including audio, video and photographic testimonies), can be used in projects of future exhibitions organized by Primo Piano and documented in the catalog with critical review by curator. By tapping into the intrinsic intelligence, design and beauty of nature, artists return home as stewards of ecology, stimulated to protect and educate others with their work.
