Resign Academy | special edition

Inform everyone that for a small number of subscription we are not able to make an appropriate selection for the pre-requisites of the workshop. So we postpone the course in a date to be determined. Stay tuned for updates and new dates (probably in 2011 spring). Subscriptions are open!

GOALS

The special editions of the Resign Academy will be strongly characterized by the locations that will host them. For the first edition “Cascina Granbergo”, in Maddalena di Sassello, Colla 3, located in the natural reserve of Monte Beigua in Savona’s province, has been the choice for the “house- laboratory”.
The designers Giovanni Delvecchio, Andrea Magnani and Elisabetta Amatori (founders of the Resign “meta project”), will propose an inovative teaching, founded on the hand-crafted “know how” together with a series of direct lessons that will range from “contemporary mithology”, to new symbolism, and to “Design 2.0”.
The final goal of the academy of Sassello will be to realize, through the Resign methodology, a real project based on the material that will be supplied by the woods next to the farm. The students will then be invited to expose and sell their works during a permanent exhibition kept in the farm and the outback. They will manifacture at least one object each, and will keep complete property, (intellectual and material), of their own creations. Every participant will be able to expose their work on www.resign.it and become an active member of the site. Read HERE about the past edition and watch HERE the works gallery.

2. From the 21th to the 23rd of July the creative labs will be integrated by the technical labs, where the project will take life, solving any crafting issue.
3. From the 24th to the 27th of July the partecipants will continue their journey in the labs finishing their works.
