art.1 description 

The association Art.ur, in collaboration with the Cuneo Township presents the third Urban Art Exhibition contest, ManifestaZOOne. 

The intention of this project utilizing public art is to promote communication of socially sensitive issues in the form of large billboards, displaying this informative and creative art to the wider public that move daily through the city. Typically utilized for commercial advertising, the billboard will instead become a space for reflection where the contest message is inserted into in the daily lives of city citizens.

The theme that candidates must base their work on is: 

“r­evolution” 

In this period of economical world crisis, it is necessary for an evolution of the political, economical and social system so to improve our current situation. 
The theme r­evolution is linked to the bicentennial of the birth of Charles Darwin, who inspired the new socio­economical ideas of philosophers such as Serge Latouche. 
R­evolution does not mean creating disorder, it refers to evolving the socio­economical system so that it may better develop our human potential. 
The theme this year therefore concerns our future and how it might develop but also the relationship that human’s have with their natural world and how we live through change.
