On 2005, Domus Academy and Progetto Italia present the second  
ArtExperience edition: two weeks of events and reflections on  
contemporary art during next June, when the opening of the 51st Venice  
Biennale will occur. ArtExperience is dedicated to a public of art  
professionals but also of simply art lovers and on 2005 will deal with  
- by adopting different viewpoints - the relation among art, sound,  
architecture and technology.

ArtExperience is a DA project focused on the central figure of  
internationally recognized contemporary artists: on 2005 the Swedish  
Olafur Eliasson and the German Carsten Nicolai will be the artist that  
will lead open conversations, round talks and performances, together  
with important culture, art and publishing International key figures.

Further, ArtExperience offers two seminars open to limited admissions,  
that will be held to Telecom Italia Future Centre in the same period  
and will be lead from those artists in English language. Domus Academy  
is offering some internships to free admit those students with an  
outstanding curriculum.
ArtExperience 2005 will be guest in the particular frame of the former  
Convent San Salvador in Venice and each week will offer several  
occasions to meet professionals and to join open round tables, to which  
also the seminar's students will participate: art lovers, journalists,  
critics, young artists, architects and designers. Each seminar will be  
ended by a special appointment - a conversation for the Eliasson's  
seminar and a performance-concert for the Nicolai's seminar: both the  
events will be guest in the beautiful XVI° Century cloisters of former  
Convent, now the Telecom Future Centre, with free admission.

ArtExperience is aimed to build an experience able to go further the  
traditional approach to contemporary art, with the opinion that this  
discipline is today pretty linked to the other creativity or  
communication fields; today art enters in our everyday life and  
dialogues with architecture, social and anthropological sciences - with  
design and fashion, advertisement, cinema and music.
With 2005 edition, the multidiscipline element, so talked in the  
debates, is still the core factor of the workshops: in this sense the  
June new appointment renovate what already stated last year, during the  
first edition, held in the same place and lead by Rirkrit Tiravanija  
and Christian Marclay.

Artexperience with Olafur Eliasson
Modelmania 6-10 giugno 2005

Olafur Eliasson, the leader of first ArtExperience 2005 week in Venice,  
let belong his creation to the principle that world exists thanks to  
the experience all of us have of it. The climate main elements - such  
as water, light, temperature, atmospheric pressure - are the main  
components of his artworks, where art and architecture are a sole  
whole. By introducing natural phenomena in art installations, realized  
with the use of technology either in open spaces or in the galleries,  
the artist put the public to reflect on the perception of the physical  
world that surrounds everybody. Eliasson works for the main  
international art institutions that dedicated to the artists solo shows  
and commissions for site-specific projects (as The Weather Project at  
Tate Modern, London, 2003).

The centre of the events and of the workshop will be the German artist  
and musician Carsten Nicolai, one of the most interesting figures  
emerged in the lattes years from both the musical and the art

representative artists that are dedicated to investigate the  
intersection between art and technology. Active as a visual artist and  
as a music performer or event and concert designer, Nicolai works on  
the limits of the human perception and the way to go through it, by let  
achieve to the public, as for example, the experience of sonic  
frequencies and of the magnetic forces with the use of senses like  
sight or tact, further to the listening one. After having exhibited in  
important group shows at Documenta (Kassel), Art Biennale (Venice),  
after the wide retrospective to the Kunsthalle Schirn (Frankfurt) and  
after the solo show to Eigen+Art Gallery (Berlin), Carsten Nicolai will

figure of the international experimental scene.
