UNIDEE - University of Ideas is an educational 
programme investigating the relationship between 
art and the public sphere and combining theory 
with practice.
Through a new programme based on a weekly 
research and project laboratory under the 
guidance of a mentor and the active participation 
of a guest, the residency modules developed for 
2016 focus on three new macro topics wich are: 
research, gift and alteration 
(<http://www.cittadellarte.it/unidee/statement.html>www.cittadellarte.it/unidee/statement.html)

During 2016, the programme saw the participation 
of 80 residents, including established 
professionals and exceptionally gifted 
individuals currently completing their BA, MA or 
PhD degrees, representing 18 nationalities 
worldwide. They are visual and performance 
artists, curators, architects, critics, PhD 
candidates, anthropologists, museum 
professionals, etc.

CARVING OUT THE SPACES FOR OUR COMMONED LIFE: A TRAINING GROUND
(<http://www.cittadellarte.it/unidee/activity.html?id=77>www.cittadellarte.it/unidee/activity.html?id=77)
14/ 18 November, 2016 (bi-weekly module) - 
Cittadellarte (IT), City in the Making (NL)
STEALTH.unlimited (Ana DÏokiç and Marc Neelen) 
with Erik Jutten and Piet Vollaard

What role do artists play in the creation of new mutualism economic systems?
The double-module 'Carving Out the Spaces for Our 
Commoned Life: A Training Ground' takes different 
economic principles and workings at its core. In 
the two weeks we will explore whether we, as 
artists, designers or cultural practitioners can 
envision a novel mutually supportive economic 
'space' for our lives and work. A daunting task, 
to which aid we will call some of the forerunners 
that have already started the transition. But 
equally a formidable challenge that demands we 
break down some of the assumptions and workings 
concerning the economy, delve into areas we 
usually experience as 'outsiders' and start 
re-creating them on our terms. Money, debt, 
insurance, time, services - to name a few.
The module consists of a five-day line of 
activities at Cittadellarte - Fondazione 
Pistoletto (Biella, from 14th to 18th of 
November, 2016), and a subsequent five-day line 
of activities at the Stoking House of City in the 
Making (Rotterdam, from 21st to 25th of November, 
2016).

ELAPSING TIME IN EXPANDED ARTWORK. PRACTICES OF 
THE UNCONSCIOUS THROUGH MEANS OF ACTIVISM
(<http://www.cittadellarte.it/unidee/activity.html?id=76>www.cittadellarte.it/unidee/activity.html?id=76)
7/ 11 November, 2016
Aria Spinelli with Núria Güell

What is the relationship between emotion and activism?
Focusing on the relationship between emotion and 
activism, this one-week module looks at how 
practices of listening and wellbeing enhance 
collective sensibility within groups.
Spanish artist Núria Güell will not only be a 
guest on the module but also the initiator of an 
elapsed time-frame of research in which 
participants will deeply map the social and 
political implications of her recent work, La 
Feria de las Floras (2015).
This workshop ultimately aims at widening the 
horizon of on-going debates around the 
relationship between artistic practices and 
social movements by performing and embodying 
emotionality in a temporary and communal 
environment. It will touch upon (but not be 
limited to) concepts such as emancipation, female 
subjectivity, performance and protest.
