LES BELLES CHAISES SE FONT LA MALLE 6e ÉDITION

SAMEDI 29 MAI 2010 à partir de 14h
sous les nefs des machines - île de Nantes

Pour la 6e édition, Les Belles Chaises changent de cap et s’installent sous les Nefs des Machines de l’Ile. Le voyage, le nomadisme et la déambulation seront donc au cœur de cette nouvelle édition : Les Belles Chaises se font la malle ! Le projet des Belles Chaises laisse toujours la part belle aux pratiques amateurs mais valorise cette année l’aspect éducatif et pédagogique de la manifestation. Le questionnement autour des pratiques amateurs se recentre donc sur l’éducation artistique ainsi que sur ces enjeux.

31 May : Underpass Street Gallery (IT)

Il Progetto “UNDERPASS_Street Gallery in Chiatona” è un evento espositivo a cielo aperto e un concorso di arte contemporanea aperto a tutti gli artisti italiani operanti nel variegato mondo della Street Art: un universo ricco e contraddittorio di forme e linguaggi dinamici espressi da media sempre diversi – murales e tags, stencil e posters, stickers e pins – ma anche dall’affascinante mondo della multimedialità, con video ed il mondo di internet.

“UNDERPASS_Street Gallery in Chiatona”, organizzato dall’associazione culturale OpificioCreativo”, in collaborazione con le associazioni culturali “Il posto delle Frangole” e “Acari”, sarà curato da Amelia Liana Lasaponara e Angelo Raffaele Villani.
