>Expanded body #2 _ Inhabiting Time. An experience about Time in the
Oasi Zegna</b></a>" a residential module conceived for the second
year for <a
href="http://www.cittadellarte.it/"><b>Cittadellarte-Fondazione
Pistoletto</b></a> and <a
href="http://www.fondazionezegna.org/en/"><b>Fondazione Zegna</b></a>
by<b> Andrea Caretto / Raffaella Spagna</b> with the participation of
two guests: Prof. PhD José D. Edelstein (Theoretical physicist,
Department of Particle Physics, University of Santiago de Compostela)
and Prof. PhD Marco Giardino (Geomorphologist, University of
Turin).<br>
</div>
<div>The module offers an immersive experience in the territory of the
Oasi Zegna, a protected mountain area extending for about 100 sq. km.
in Piedmont, in the Biellese Alps, between Trivero and the Cervo
Valley. Starting from an aesthetic experimentation based on a
non-hierarchical ontology, according to which all subjects (living and
non-living, plants, animals, rocks, objects, etc.) coexisting in that
area are put on the same level, the participants will be involved in a
wide-spectrum debate on the concept of time. Through a series of field
experiences led by experts from various disciplines, the selected
artists will have the opportunity to experience first-hand some of the
perceptive aspects of time in a natural environment, through a
comparison between the different temporalities characterising the
natural systems: from the deep time attested by rocks and their
transformation to the temporality of living beings (from the life span
of a few minutes of some insects to the life span of hundreds or even
thousands of years of trees), eventually questioning the concept of
Time itself as a fundamental variable operated by physics in the last
century.<br>
</div>
<div>What is time? How do we perceive the flow of time and what is our
relationship with it? What is time for a plant? How can we approach
the deep time of rocks? What is the relationship between the time of
machines, of human beings and natural cycles? What is free time? What
is time for contemporary physics?<br>
</div>
<div>The module will represent an opportunity to discuss and reflect
on these topics in an informal way, together with the mentors and the
invited guests.<br>
</div>
<div>The first part of the module will be base-camped in the mountain
refuge Alpe Moncerchio (Bielmonte, BI), situated within the Oasi
Zegna, and will be characterized by a few walking excursions during
which the participants-in direct contact with the natural
environment of the Oasi Zegna-will experiment in person different
perceptive aspects linked to time. In the course of the excursions the
mentors and the specialist guests will involve the participants in
individual and collective activities, observations, gathering of
materials and discussions.<br>
</div>
<div>The second part of the module will be held in Cittadellarte
(Biella) and will consist in a work of individual research through
which each participant will elaborate the experience of the previous
days in the Oasi to eventually produce-under the guidance of the
mentors-actions, works, devices, tales, as expressions of new ways
of being in Time.<br>
</div>
<div><b>The 6 residency full grants will include:</b><br>

Inhabiting Time. An experience about Time in the Oasi Zegna"</b>
