RAVE-East Village Artist Residency is a residency which gives an international artist the opportunity to spend a month in the countryside of Friuli in order to conduct their own research in harmony with the location and the rural environment. The relaxed atmosphere favours a wide-ranging approach, where work and pleasure come together in a creative special power. The residency is hosted at Trivignano Udinese, in a farmhouse which is home to numerous animals which have been saved from the slaughterhouse and the mechanisms of consumer society through artistic actions.
During the residency, RAVE also offers a number of workshops and public meetings that bring together experts from the art world and intellectuals from numerous fields. Finally, a monographic publication presents the images and ideas developed in each RAVE edition.
2012 RAVE East Village Artist Residency is a project created by Isabella and Tiziana Pers in collaboration with Giovanni Marta. It is organised by the East Village association in collaboration with the Associazione Culturale L’Officina of Trieste, the Comitato Trieste Contemporanea-Dialoghi with Art from Central Eastern Europe, the Associazione Culturale Hope, Daniele Capra and Anna Tulisso. Main partner: Altevie Technologies. The project is supported by the Provincia di Udine and the Comune di Trivignano Udinese.
Ivan Moudov will be the guest artist for RAVE 2012.
This is a welcome opportunity for Moudov to revisit Friuli Venezia Giulia, where he won the 2006 Young European Artist Award Trieste Contemporanea.
The Bulgarian artist (who follows in the steps of Adrian Paci, guest artist in 2011) is one of the most highly considered artist of his generation in the country. He works primarily with video, photography, installation and performance. His work is characterised by a compelling conceptual strength and a desire to derail the comfort of established patterns of thought. It pays particular attention to the investigation of power relationships and limitations between people and institutions.
