It promotes an experimental and highly collaborative learning model both for the arts and\u00a0the local community.<\/p>\n<p>CASTRO\u2019s programming is articulated on two parallel tracks: one is open to the public and the\u00a0second only to the artists and curators working in studios at CASTRO.<\/p>\n<p>The public programme will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Artist Talks: conferences with artists invited to talk about their work and their personal\u00a0experience.<\/li>\n<li>Curator\u2019s Round Tables: round tables moderated by a young curator whom is called choose two\u00a0further experts in the field to intervene on a chosen theme.<\/li>\n<li>Project presentations: founders of projects related to contemporary art are invited to talk about\u00a0their activities and their experience.<\/li>\n<li>Cineforum: screening of a film and subsequent public debate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The second, dedicated to artists and curators in the studios, provides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tutorials: 50mins one-to-one meetings in the studio with artists and other specialists in the field\u00a0in order to talk about the artist\u2019s work.<\/li>\n<li>Studio Visits: supporter\u2019s or other\u2019s (curators, artistic directors of foundations and museums,\u00a0gallery owners and collectors)\u00a0 private\/guided visits in the artist\u2019s studio in order to see and talk\u00a0about his most recent work in an informal environment.<\/li>\n<li>Open studio days: whole days during which artist studios are open to the public.<\/li>\n<li>Excursions and guided tours of the city.<\/li>\n<li>Workshops with local artisans to deepen traditional Roman practices.<\/li>\n<li>Online blog hosted on CASTRO\u2019s website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CASTRO\u2019s main activities are CRITS. Crits are day long sessions to discuss both finished or in\u00a0process works. Each artist\u2019s work is usually shown for up to an hour to allow a conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting artists can either sit back and listen to the feedback or answer questions. Any artist in\u00a0Rome can sign up on CASTRO\u2019s website to present their work. Anyone can partecipate to the\u00a0discussion. This activity fosters exchanges between artists in CASTRO\u2019s studios, those in<br \/>\nresidence in foreign institutions in Rome and roman artists.<\/p>\n<p>Participation to the project is open and regulated by an Applications system. A Board of Judges\u00a0evaluates applications by selecting the residents. The Board varies each year and is selected by\u00a0the Scientific Committee of the GIGANT Association.<\/p>\n<p>All public meetings held in CASTRO are documented with video footage and are stored in an\u00a0online archive accessible to newsletter subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>CASTRO is twinned with other projects in Italy and abroad. This offers current and former\u00a0residents the opportunity to enter into a network, to start exchanges. It is also central for the\u00a0program as it ensures a close contact with the current issues in contemporary art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CASTRO (Contemporary Art STudios ROme) is a space founded to support Italian and foreign artists, curators and researchers.
