Welcome to the pages dedicated to the Artists' Residency at Aquapetra Parco d'Arte.
The artists' residency project centres on the creation of a sculpture park by prominent artists of different generations and nationalities. Free of thematic constraints, the artists will have the opportunity to dialogue with each other, as well as with the diverse natural and architectural spaces of Aquapetra Resort & Spa.
Each year, two artists will be selected, one foreign and one Italian, whose works form part of the Collezione Agovino.
To celebrate the inauguration of the Parco d'Arte, our first resident artists, Chiara Camoni (1974, Piacenza) and Martin Soto Climent (1977, Mexico City), have each installed one of their works within the grounds of Aquapetra Resort & Spa.
The guiding principle of the Parco d'Arte, is to establish a dialogue between landscape and contemporary art, both profound reservoirs of knowledge and experience, as well as providing aesthetic stimuli to visitors of the resort; the Parco d'Arte aspires to be a catalyst for enlightenment, building on the resort's transformative context, but further predisposing the physical and spiritual wellbeing of all who enter.
The residency is structured in two distinct phases: the first period sees the artists immerse themselves in the space, in order to explore its expressive and aesthetic potential; during the second period, the artists return to create and install original and site-specific pieces, reflecting and enhancing the delicate and refined identity of the resort's spaces. The new works by Chiara and Martin will be presented to the public in the Spring of 2019.
