The RAVE Workshop is part of the first edition of the RAVE East Village Artist Residency,
a residency program for artists hosted in a traditional old farm-house in the heart of the
Friulano countryside, in the north east of Italy.
The workshop, produced with the support and cooperation of the City of Trivignano Udinese,
will last three days and will be open to young artists living in Europe.

The objective of the workshop is to give young people the opportunity to interact with great
international artists, as well as a chance to exchange ideas and experiences with other
young people from different backgrounds and training.
The RAVE East Village Artist Residency program, created by Isabella Pers and Tiziana Pers,
will invite a number of prominent artists to live and work in a farmhouse located in rural
Trivignano Udinese.
The artist in residence for the RAVE Workshop 2011 is ADRIAN PACI.
He will hold a workshop on the 10th, 11th and12th of June, 2011. He will freely decide the
nature of the workshop, the methods and approaches.
A committee of experts will select 12 Europen artists from those who have applied for the
program. 6 places will be reserved for artists from Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Participation in the workshop is free and hospitality costs will be covered by the organization.
The food will be vegetarian and accommodation is provided for participants coming from
outside the region.
Travel expenses must be covered by individual participants.
At the end of the workshop participants will be invited to present a project based on their
experiences during the event. For organisational reasons all materials that the 12 artists wish
to submit must be received by August 20, 2011.
The material received will be exhibited at the event “Immaginare il tempo” (Imagining time)
which will be held in the historic village of Clauiano on the 24/25th September 2011. We ask
that the material remain available to the organization for a period of one year for future
initiatives .

WORKSHOP THEME
The changing of natural and urban spaces is directly related to culture and social habits.
How is it still possible to experience this of as a complete perception of the present, of space
and of the lives which are lived there?
How can the artist draw on a chain of relationships between contemporary collective dreams and universal and archaic myths?
And how can art address a transient reality and find a relationship with reality which is
different from the evermore over-excited conventional images we give it?
Animals live in the place where the workshop will be held. These have been saved from the
food industry through artistic actions, removed from consumerist mechanisms to be
welcomed and cared for in a more natural context.
In this sense, the perspective which underlies the residency is also permeated by the
personal and professional relationship that ties the artists Isabella and Tiziana Pers to the
place where it is held.
The farmhouse itself is located in a small village in Friuli, in a rural environment, far from large urban centres.
As such the artists will be able to interact with the natural physicality of an environment
where one can still perceive the origins and stratifications.
Furthermore, after the removal of the borders in the EU enlargement process, Friuli Venezia
Giulia, in the extreme eastern Italy, has acquired a new dimension that has led to the area
becoming a conduit linking the east and west. This is a channel that has absorbed many
influences throughout its history.
The theme is intended as a starting point and the artists will be free to investigate the
different aspects and interpretations of it in the manner they feel is most appropriate.
The purpose of the workshop is to ensure that all participants have the opportunity to
experience a different modus vivendi in order to create new ideas and reflections.
The topics of the workshop relate to the theme of Immaginare il Tempo: in this event, that will
take place during the autumn equinox, they will be explored through a series of debates and
talks.
