Teaching collaborator for the Art Feast Lab in Casciago
Art Feast in Casciago
Organised by MADWORKSHOP Foundation in collaboration with Riccardo Blumer
The outcome of a competition held among students of the Atelier Blumer at the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio, several students had the opportunity to bring their projects to life through the project Madworkshop Abroad. This initiative is the result of a collaboration between Sofia Boarino, Riccardo Blumer, and the Madworkshop Foundation. The theme for this edition, ‘Art Feast,’ challenged students to creatively consider the feast as a design element within the city, exploring how public events influence the territory and transform space. The students received guidance in both designing and realizing their architectural installations, and an exhibition was organized to showcase and share their work with the public. A dance of gestures that explores space through new technologies, a machine that comes to life through its continuous movement, and a special swing that stages a lively light show, are the installations that temporarily inhabited Casciago, transforming the deconsecrated Church of San Giovanni into a vibrant cultural centre.
