Promoted by the Tresoldi Academy in collaboration with YAC, Fondo Mole Vanvitelliana, Cantiere delle Marche, CNR

In its second edition, TRAC – with the exclusive collaboration of Cantiere delle Marche, CNR, and Fondo Mole Vanvitelliana – calls for young creatives to be inspired by one of the most suggestive creative horizons in charm and majesty. 

Situated in Ancona – city symbol of the ancient relationship of humankind with the marine environment – the workshop aims at navigating the relationship between the artistic intervention and the natural and cultural phenomena connected to the sea.

Focused on three different locations - the Mole Vanvitelliana, the ancient harbor, and the fishermen’s caves – students will be given the opportunity to think and realize, through a dialogue with Cantiere delle Marche and Edoardo Tresoldi, an installation that may dialogue with the sea.

Through creative experimentation, Ancona’s shores will become - for the workshop’s participants - the scene for a new artistic approach, capable of merging architecture, art, and nature in one unique experience.

The workshop will also give the opportunity to think about the transformation of the opera related to the marine environment. The analysis of the impact of the installation on marine biodiversity, carried out with the support of CNR, will be the starting point to establish an unprecedented dialogue between the installation and the surrounding environment.

TRAC – Tresoldi Academy is an innovative educational project, created by STUDIO STUDIO STUDIO of Edoardo Tresoldi and YAC Young Architects Competitions with the aim of offering workshops where young people could be sensitized to the issues of contemporary art, through the creation of site-specific installations that can contribute to enhancing the value of the territories where they are installed. TRAC – Tresoldi Academy positions itself between art and architecture, thanks to which young talented people will have the opportunity to take part in the creative process of one of the most prestigious and appreciated brands of contemporary art: it will be a cycle of training activities oriented to “know how to imagine” (concept and design of an artistic installation) and to “know-how” (the production of the installation).
