"Thek it and Hang it" installation,02.06.2020–18.04.2021,Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy As part of the exhibition "Le temps et moi" at the Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy, "Thek it and Hang it" installation created at the instigation of artist Miriam Laura Leonardi. Installation created at the instigation of artist Miriam Laura Leonardi by Djellza Azemi, Ana-Francesca Balan, Tudor Ciurescu, Peilian Li, Cyane Findji, Ernest Gachet, Tennessee MacDougall, Christian Schulz and Stefan Tanase, students from the Bachelor Fine Arts at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne. As part of the exhibition "Le temps et moi" at the Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy, from 2 June 2020 to 18 April 2021. Inspired by the notions of time and memory, the American artist Paul Thek (born in Brooklyn, 1933 - 1988) proposed to its students to design "something to put over a child s bed". A group from ECAL took up the same topic to imagine and create this installation. The time here is upside down: a cradle has been dismantled, its bars soaked in wax, then sunk one s teeth into, before being put back together as a mobile. Common in children s rooms, especially above cribs, mobiles entertain infants and stimulate their sight. The bed protecting the child here becomes a fragile distraction, suspended in the room covered with soft carpet topped with blue. On the floor, the night light is a bulb covered by hair. And by way of a lullaby, you can get carried away by a poem more disturbing than soothing in the earphone... Thanks to Philippe Decrauzat, Stéphane Kropf, Charly Mirambeau, Gina Proenza and Paul Thek as well as the Roman Museum team. Dates and times From 2 June 2020 to 18 April 2021 Normal: 11:00-18:00 Closed on Mondays, except July-August and public holidays. Closed on 24, 25, 31 December and 1st January.

ECAL Instagram Live: Jean-Luc Godard,07.04.2020 ECAL Instagram Live: Jean-Luc Godard, fillmmaker, Rolle ECAL Instagram Live: Jean-Luc Godard, cinéaste, Rolle (Suisse)En conversation avec Lionel Baier, responsable du Département Cinéma de l ECAL, sur la thématique «des images en temps de Coronavirus»Mardi 7 avril à 14h30 CEST sur @ecal_ch (https://www.instagram.com/ecal_ch/?hl=fr)A ses débuts critique à La Gazette du cinéma puis aux Cahiers du cinéma, Jean-Luc Godard réalise des courts métrages avant de tourner son premier long métrage en 1959: «A bout de souffle». Ce film devient l œuvre phare du cinéma de la Nouvelle Vague, dont Godard est désormais l un des représentants emblématiques. Les années 1960 sont marquées par une œuvre prolixe («Le Petit Soldat», «Le Mépris», «Pierrot le fou», «La Chinoise»…).Les évènements de Mai 68 confirment un changement dans sa façon de concevoir le cinéma et ses films deviennent des étendards politiques. L advenue de la vidéo engendre la création de grandes séries essayistes, «6X2» et «France, Tour, Détour, Deux Enfants».Métamorphosés, le narratif, les acteurs professionnels, les mythes et archétypes reviennent à partir de 1979 avec «Sauve qui peut la vie», «Détective» et «Prénom Carmen», film pour lequel il reçoit le Lion d or à la Mostra de Venise en 1983. S ensuit une période d investigation expérimentale sur les formes de l Histoire comme «Allemagne année 90 neuf zéro» ou «Histoire(s) du cinéma».Depuis les années 2000, Jean-Luc Godard continue son exploration infatigable du septième art avec «Eloge de l amour», «Film Socialisme» ou «Adieu au langage» (Prix du jury au Festival de Cannes en 2014). Jean-Luc Godard a reçu la Palme d or spéciale du jury au Festival de Cannes 2018 pour «Le Livre d image».(Biographie publiée à l occasion de «Jean-Luc Godard – Parcours Livre d image» au Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers en 2019)ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de LausanneAvenue du Temple 5, CH – 1020 Renens

ECAL at artgenève: INTERFERENCES,29.01–02.02.2020,Palexpo, Geneva INTERFERENCES – Forty-Four Excuses for Participation and a Zero Mario de Vega with BA Fine Arts and Media & Interaction Design students. INTERFERENCES – Forty-Four Excuses for Participation and a Zero Mario de Vega with BA Fine Arts and Media & Interaction Design students A collaborative project between Bachelor Fine Arts and Bachelor Media & Interaction Design students from ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne following a workshop led by sound artist Mario de Vega, visiting professor during the fall semester 2019 at ECAL and resident at La Becque | Artists Residency. Through a conceptual approach to sound, this exhibition proposes a scenario in which the eye takes the role of the ear, and vice versa. Within the notion of “Aural Vision”, the presented works result from a short seminar that served as an introduction to a larger educative experience which aims to extend collaborations between Media & Interaction Design and Fine Arts, using sound as a bridge. The project is based on the 45 definitions of the INTERFERENCES publication. It investigates the ongoing developments of timebased media, taking advantage of its benefits and advances, through a critical perspective. From 29 January to 2 February 2020, from 12pm to 8pm (except Thursday and Sunday 7pm) – Stand D11. artgenève Palexpo Route François-Peyrot 30 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex/Genève http://www.artgeneve.ch Image ECAL/Jimmy Rachez
Body City Mapping of the Body City show Unique creation imagined for Lausanne en Jeux ! - the animation program of the Youth Olympic Games Lausanne 2020 - Body City is a show where arts and urban sports meet in an impressive open-air setting, on the central square of Lausanne. "Bodies in fusion with the city", it is from this strong image that Nicolas Musin conceived and realized Body City, a contemporary show questioning the relationship of the young generations to the city. On an open-air stage representing a city in constant mutation, more than 50 performers aged between 9 and 30 will cross their disciplines, bringing together arts and urban sports such as skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, scooter, parkour and dance. A poetic and spectacular journey in the heart of Lausanne, where video, sound and light are mixed together! Imagined within the framework of Lausanne en Jeux, this show is above all a work of youth supported by art schools and training centers for urban disciplines established in the agglomeration of Lausanne. Thus, Body City has brought together different actors from Lausanne such as students from ECAL (video design), HEMU (composition of the original music and recording of the soundtrack), dancers from the Ecole-Atelier Rudra Béjart (dance and percussion), JDSEvents (hip hop, breakdance) as well as the riders from La Fièvre and the plotters from X-Trem Move. The mapping of the show was created by the students of the Visual Communication Department (BA Graphic Design, BA Photography, BA Media & Interaction Design) under the direction of Vincent Jacquier, Angelo Benedetto, Jean-Vincent Simonet and Mitch Paone while the editing was done by Amaury Hamon and Clément Lambelet.
ECAL at the Youth Olympic Games – Lausanne 2020,09–22.01.2020,Lausanne On the occasion of the Youth Olympic Games – Lausanne 2020 , ECAL particpates in several projects. On the occasion of the Youth Olympic Games – Lausanne 2020, ECAL particpates in several projects: --- Design of the cauldron, medal trays and podiums The cauldron, the medal trays and the podiums are three of the most symbolic elements of the Olympic Games. Second-year Industrial Design Bachelor s students from the ECAL were tasked with designing them. The students had to meet certain operational constraints and technical requirements: The cauldron must be able to be supplied with wood pellets, the result of a partnership between several organisations in the Vaud region, including the Lignum Vaud, which brings together all the regional players in the wood sector. This ecological innovation makes this cauldron the most eco-responsible in the history of the Olympic Games. It must also be removable and an integral part of the Games legacy. The podiums would have to be assembled outside at the last minute, often on uneven ground. They needed to be solid, light and large enough for several athletes. The medal trays had to be big enough to hold both medals and mascots. Cauldron Design: ECAL (Bachelor Industrial Design) Student: François Lafortune Production: C-FOR! + Ecole de la construction This cauldron project took inspiration from “freeskiing” culture, seeking to reflect it in both style and substance. Freeskiing is the world of skateparks and snowparks, with which many young people are very familiar. The installation comprises a mini jump and a ramp, with the cauldron placed at the top. The project s designer, François, envisaged that it would be an integral part of the Opening Ceremony and that the cauldron could be lit by a freerider. After Lausanne 2020, the installation is set to be converted into part of a permanent skatepark for the people of Lausanne. Podium Design: ECAL (Bachelor Industrial Design) Students: Louis Bétin + Theo Luvisotto + Estelle Rougerie Production: Ecole de la construction The podiums juxtapose the outlines of three mountain ranges where the competitions are being held: the Jura mountains, the Vaud Alps and the mountains of St Moritz. Plateaux des médailles Design and Production: (Bachelor Industrial Design) Student: Olivia Dall Omo The medal trays have coverings in the colours of the official hat worn by the volunteers. “The outfit is completed by a pair of mittens. So you ll be nice and warm, and all set to go cheer on your favourite athletes!” Mapping of the BodyCity Show Unique creation imagined for Lausanne en Jeux! - the animation program of the Youth Olympic Games Lausanne 2020 - BodyCity is a show where arts and urban sports meet in an impressive open-air setting, on the place Centrale of Lausanne. Five performances will take place in public on January 9, 11, 12, 18 and 19, 2020 at 6 p.m. "Bodies in fusion with the city", it is from this strong image that Nicolas Musin directed BodyCity, a contemporary show questioning the relationship of young generations to the city. On an open-air stage representing a city in constant mutation,more than 50 performers aged between 9 and 30 years will cross their disciplines from January 9, bringing together urban arts and sports suchas skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, scooter, parkour and dance. Imagined within the framework of Lausanne en Jeux!, this show is above all a work of youth carried by art schools and urbandisciplines training centers established in the Lausanne conurbation. BodyCity was thus able to bring together different Lausanne actors such as the students of the ECAL (conception of video images) of the HEMU (composition of the original music and recording of the soundtrack), thedancers of the Ecole-Atelier Rudra Béjart (dance and percussion), JDS Events (hip hop, breakdance) aswell as the riders of La Fièvre and the tracers of X-Trem Move. A meeting between different cultures and disciplines that the director Nicolas Musin has managed to reunite in order to offer a unique and unprecedented show in Lausanne. The mapping of the show was thus created by the students of the Visual Communication Department (BA Graphic Design, BA Photography, BA Media & Interaction Design) under the direction of Vincent Jacquier, Angelo Benedetto, Jean-Vincent Simonet and Mitch Paone while editing was managed by Amaury Hamon and Clément Lambelet.
Smartphone Peripheral Companions The research project Smartphone Peripheral Companions explores new forms of interaction with the data flows passing through our smartphone, questioning the status of total object that this device has acquired. So much of contemporary culture and interactions is taking place through interfaces; interfaces are part of cultural expression and participation. Therefore, questioning the impact of the mechanisms underlying current smartphone interfaces is also a societal interest. The research team conducted a number of reflections around a broad vision of the issues related to the use of smartphones and the data flows that pass through them. In order to also collect contributions from smartphone users, they set up an online participatory platform, voluntarily moving away from the usual form of the scientific questionnaire. By imagining, designing and prototyping new objects or apparatuses, this project aims to offer proposals for re-appropriation, re-extraction of certain features locked in the smartphone, thereby allowing a different, more customizable access to data or functions. Consequently, fostering a shift from the glowing rectangle to a more detached and focused interaction, away from the screen. The main results of the project include a series of 5 to 10 objects offering alternative access to some data transiting through the smartphone. These semi-functional prototypes are documented and presented as images and films on the project website as well as made available for exhibition. A kit of tools and instructions to reproduce some of them, together with an ever-growing, participative collection of anonymous testimonies from smartphone is also accessible online.Main applicantECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne (project leader)Research team (research assistant) (research assistant) Andreas Sonderegger Visiting lecturerJesse HowardStudents, , , , , , , , Emily Groves, , , , , , , , , , , Periodseptember 2018 – february 2020Supported byECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne Strategic fund of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO RCDAV)DisseminationWebsite smartphone-confessions.worldPartnerEPFL+ECAL Lab
Guardare l utopia Utopia is invisible; only utopians can see it. A class of 12 students from the Photography Master at the ECAL/University of Art and Design of Lausanne, in residence at Casa Corti in Pellio, Val d Intelvi (Italy), elaborated the concepts of utopia and community. Identifying the malaise of a generation trapped in social networks, confused between reality and the virtual sphere, and in need of establishing new values, the group developed a range of different strategies: morning meditation sessions, walks to Monte Generoso, shared meals and discussions to produce photographs and videos which, while gradually shifting away from reality, reach imaginary dimensions that oscillate between utopia and dystopia, figuration and abstraction. --- Students Emidio Battipaglia Robin Bervini Jasmine Deporta Anja Karolina Furrer Alessia Gunawan Christian Harker Johanna Hullár Philipp Klak Doruk Kumkumoglu Jelly Luise Igor Pjörrt Gedvile Tamosiunaite Curator Milo Keller Assistants Florian Amoser Calum Douglas Graphic Design Nicolas Polli biennaleimmagine.ch https://casacorti.org/ Utopia is invisible; only utopians can see it.

Fonds international d objets imprimés de petite taille,21.11–13.12.2019,Gallery l elac, Renens Du 22 novembre au 13 décembre 2019, la Galerie l elac (dans l ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne) présente le Fonds international d objets imprimés de petite taille dans une version augmentée de l exposition – laquelle comprend plus de 200 projets. Cette collection propose un regard sur le graphisme contemporain à travers l intelligence des formes, des savoir-faire techniques et économiques d objets imprimés, de format ou de statut modestes. HD IMAGES Longtemps, l attention portée au graphisme s est focalisée sur l objet phare de la discipline: l affiche. La parenté formelle de ce support avec le tableau peint et la tradition des biennales et concours favorisaient la dimension spectaculaire de celle-ci au détriment d autres objets graphiques (invitations, flyers, ephemera, marque-pages, cartes de visite…). Les contraintes techniques ou économiques influent parfois fortement sur les projets: elles amènent à repenser les objets et à envisager des logiques d occupation et de diffusion différentes, en expérimentant d autres interstices où le graphisme peut se développer. Le Fonds international d objets imprimés de petite taille se déploie à travers des étagères à mi-chemin entre bibliothèque et lieu d archivage: chaque objet est présenté et peut être manipulé sur une boîte sur laquelle figure une notice permettant de contextualiser le sujet et découvrir l intelligence de la forme en écho au contenu. Ce fonds, constitué de plusieurs centaines de projets internationaux, est appelé à se développer et à augmenter au fur et à mesure de son itinérance. Exposition du 22 novembre au 13 décembre 2019, du mercredi au vendredi, de 13 h à 17 h.

1,15m² During this workshop week, the students worked on the curation, mediation and placement of their own exhibition. The students selected a corpus of works from the iconographic and textual collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, both based in New York. The exhibition space, 1.15m² (refering to the surface area of an F4 poster) is printable, hangable and foldable. It is both a surface but also a base or a volume. The students results question the means of reproduction and representation of the works in the design of an exhibition.

Usefulless,07–15.11.2019,Galerie Crèvecœur, Paris A group exhibition bringing together students from the Fine Arts Master of ECAL and artists Morag Keil, Ghislaine Leung, Martin Scorsese and Emily Wardill. A proposal by Clément Delépine and Mélanie Matranga. Opening on Thursday 7 November from 6pm to 10pm at Crèvecœur Gallery, Paris In his essay, Theory of Metamorphosis, philosopher Emanuele Coccia celebrates the “power of caterpillars” allowing them to transition from one existence to another without having to die first nor being born again. The caterpillar thus in its full autonomy shakes up the natural order of things. This in-between state materializes in the cocoon, an intermediate yet complete stage, totalizing more than the sum of two halves. The cocoon is a circumscribed territory which has no limits, not completely life, not totally death. This solipsistic space is plural, it is host to the liquid form, embracing simultaneity and different realities. The artworks presented here echo the principle of transition which govern this exhibition. Through their relationship to space or how they question the function of an art object, through the staging of intimacy, these works identify a limit and almost mechanically, ask what lies beyond. Usefulless is a quality specific to useful objects that are nowhere to be found when needed. Opening a middle way through the binary definition useful/useless, the term usefulless defines a transitional state of utility. Here inside the exhibition, the influence of context reveals the intrinsic ambivalence of objects, useful only based on a need, at a given time, for something or to someone. Usefulless opens a dialogue between the works of the students of the Master Fine Arts at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne and pieces from artists whose respective practices explore similar avenues. Exhibition open from 8 to 15 November 2019, from Wednesday to Saturday, from 11h to 19h.

D HEYGERE As part of a course led by Philippe Jarrigeon, 2nd-year Bachelor of Photography students at ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne were asked to work in the world of D heygere jewelry and accessories.

Suze After their passionate night, Suze will find out she is allergic to her new friend. Fiction / 19 min Synopsis She is alcohol-phobic. He is a deep alcoholic. After their passionate night, Suze will find out she is allergic to her new friend. In this hyperbolic world, pathological characters are in search of tenderness. They suffer from bodily disorders : sentimentality for Suze and Dallas is manifested through violence, allergic reactions, occasional gunshots… Suze represents love as I have dreamt it: dramatic, kitsch, naive, but always sincere.
Adèle Beaulieu – Playing Hell 22 year old Ava, goes to stay with her grandfather who lives in the Franches-Montagnes. They walk through forests together looking for Antoine who had disappeared that morning. Fiction / 14 min Synopsis 22 year old Ava, goes to stay with her grandfather who lives in the Franches-Montagnes. They walk through forests together looking for Antoine who had disappeared that morning. Comment Ava goes to stay with her grand father, François, a whimsical character reclused on the edge of the moutains, in the small village Les Enfers. Like a road movie, the landscapes pass by, François confides to Ava that he has lost Antoine, his dog. Granddaughter and grandfather go in search of him. They make it their quest. Like a pretext for their meeting. Snow and fog envelop them. The space closes in on them. In the absence of a trajectory where it can unfold, time becomes an instant. It is lived on the surface of the image, on the surface of the faces. The quest for the dog becomes the quest for the other, which we scrutinize to guess its relief, to detect its informal history. Ava and François go deeper into the forest. In the snow, the mark of their passage, of their mysterious presence to each other. Their paths diverge and then meet again. A relationship takes shape, a link is created. Adèle prints it, the nostalgic black and white of the film reveals it. Suspended, impressionistic, delicate staging. The trace of its two characters - endearing and disconcerting - crosses us. A tasty impression of an encounter, of a fleeting and deep embrace in Les Enfers. A successful bet. Sophie Audier, script supervisor and head of the Script Supervisor departement at La Fémis, Paris
Julietta Korbel – Still Working The guardian of a factory doomed to be demolished is faced with the end of his universe… Fiction / 17 min Synopsis In an abandoned factory destined to be demolished, Pavel s routine, the guardian, is disturbed by the arrival of a young engineer who discovers an unusual electric activity, a running turbine. Pavel will be faced with the imminent disappearance of the factory and with the end of his universe… Comment Julietta fell in love with an abandoned factory. A ruined setting, gigantic and inanimate, but which she inhabited from her first visit. The script was written on this particular relationship to the setting, intimate and organic. The characters came in the wake of this, as if out of this clay. The guard Pavel, his marked face, his massive and graceful dog. And the presence of the factory that oozes in all the shots, digs its imprint in time and space. The castle and its guardian. A body trapped in a larger body. A void, a collapse that probes another. Still Working, Julietta Korbel s film, is at once a portrait, a fable and a disturbing, haunted physical experience. Made of mystery, meaning and sensuality. David Lynch said that the hardest thing about making a film is falling in love with a story. That s what happened here. Thomas Cailley / Screenwritter, director
Léonard Vuilleumier – Dans ces rues / These streets will never look the same Leandre goes looking for a stranger named Tristan in order to give him some bad news about a mutual friend. Fiction / 23 min Leandre goes looking for a stranger named Tristan in order to give him some bad news about a mutual friend. However, when they meet, Leandre fails to deliver his message, which makes Tristan believe that they met by pure chance. He then puts Leandre to the test by making him collect signatures in the streets with him. As time, goes by, Leandre and Tristan get to tame each other and look at each other. They form a bond, but the true nature of what links them to the same boy remains ambiguous. Comment It is with modesty and a certain elegance that Léonard Vuilleumier takes up the theme of mourning and desire. An Eros and Thanatos in the streets of Lausanne. A sweet labyrinth where men hide the truths, look for encounters, flirt with the unspoken, find peace in the flesh. Léonard Vuilleumier fully committed himself to his theme by placing the actor at the center of his research, rethinking the rhythm and the filmic writing according to this character and his wandering. It is with feverishness but determination and belief that he delivers with These streets will never look the same a film that looks like him. Necessarily. Elsa Amiel, director and 1st assistant director

ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne presents an offbeat collection of interactive doorbells developed by first-year Bachelor Industrial Design students, under the joint guidance of Stéphane Halmaï-Voisard, Head of Bachelor Industrial Design, and Mathieu Rivier, a Bachelor Media & Interaction Design graduate. This project is part of the “Sound & Vision” exhibition, shown for the first time, in collaboration with EPFL+ECAL Lab, at the 2019 Milan International Furniture Fair. Sound and object design are two notions that industrial designers rarely have the opportunity to combine. Nevertheless, most everyday objects potentially produce sounds. Just pull up a chair, open or close a drawer or even flip a switch and you will create sound. What do all these actions have in common? Movement, friction and interaction which draw on the basic laws of physics to create tones. With this in mind, the students have offered a fresh and original take on an everyday object, one that is unremarkable yet never silent—the doorbell. They have designed a range of mechanical and electrical doorbells that offer a unique, sometimes even thunderous, sound experience. Well-known chimes step aside and are replaced by a curious metallophone triggered by a punch card reminiscent of traditional mechanical music boxes. The former door knocker is now amplified by a vibrant dong! The familiar buzzer has been replaced by an energetic drum roll. The everyday doorbell has been replaced by a curious device that makes a sound like thunder. At last, where you might expect a ding-dong, there is now a stertorous mooing mhhhh! These are just some of the contraptions displayed. Come in and ring! Schedule Thursday (Opening Night): 17:00–21:00 Friday & Saturday: 12:00–21:00 Sunday: 12:00–19:00 Creative Lab Werkstadt Zürich www.designbiennalezurich.ch As part of the Swiss Game Design Lounge, two ECAL Bachelor Media and Interaction Design graduates will also present several projects initiated at ECAL during their studies.

A film from ECAL won a Student Oscar "Bonobo", Zoel Aeschbacher s Bachelor Film diploma, won the 2019 Student Academy Awards (Narrative - International Film Schools) - the Oscars for students - presented on October 17th at the Academy s Samuel Goldwyn Theater Beverly Hills This film has been pre-selected amongst 1615 short films and has won the Gold medal in the Narrative – International Film Schools category, given on the occasion of these exclusive student Oscars.

Produced by ECAL and Nouvelle Tribu, Bonobo s summary by Zoel Aeschbacher is as follows: Félix, Ana and Seydoux live in the same social housing without knowing each other. The three characters seem linked by one and only element: the building s dilapidated elevator, an infernal machine leading them to an inescapable tragic destiny.

Pierre Keller: 1945-2019,08.07.2019,ECAL, Renens It is with great sadness that ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne announces the passing of Pierre Keller, its director between 1995 and 2011. “We do everything seriously, without ever taking ourselves seriously.” This was Pierre Keller s maxim when he worked at ECAL, and it allowed him to move a small school in the Canton of Vaud up the ranks of Schools of Art and Design worldwide to become a member of the global elite. A native son of Gilly, Pierre Keller graduated as a graphic designer in 1965 from what was then the Ecole des beaux-arts et arts appliqués in Lausanne (now ECAL), and, while working as a teacher, won fame as an artist, photographer, and representative of the Council of State of Vaud in the organisation of the 700th anniversary of the Swiss nation. In 1995, he returned to ECAL, this time through the front door, and became its new director. For more than 16 years, he moulded ECAL in his own image – one that was vibrant, original and creative. He tackled all manner of challenges and headed up a number of major projects which all contributed to placing the school on the world stage. Pierre Keller has mounted exhibitions in all four corners of the world, forged countless partnerships with leading brands and institutions and was the brains behind the iconic ECAL building that has stood in Renens since 2007 which he, in partnership with his architect friend Bernard Tschumi, designed throughout. He also strove, at all times, to ensure that his students received the very best. While he has won widespread recognition (Prix de Lausanne, the French Ordre des palmes académiques, the Design Prize Switzerland, and has been invited to deliver guest lectures at institutions such as EPFL in Lausanne and the Tecnológico de Monterrey), his greatest source of pride was clearly the opportunity he enjoyed to help hundreds of young artists and designers to fulfil their potential. For all these things, ECAL would like to say to you, Pierre, a big THANK YOU!
Bianca Maldini – Una volta qualcuno mi disse As evidenced by ancient Calabrian tales and popular beliefs, blood, symbol of absolute bonds, influences free will and life cycles. I left, looking for these stories, to find out that, what today is linked to childhood, comes from an ancient communion with nature that modernization is eroding. Combining images and words, I explored the boundary between fantasy and reality at the origins of myths. The project raises thoughts on the fascination for the ancestral and the dynamics of acceptance of the fantastic mixing anthropology and visual art.
