This website is conceived as a dynamic resource for those engaged with interart and intermedia in Italy.
These resources include two blogs for discussing ideas of Interart/Intermedia:Â
History: a blog designed to sketch a cultural history of interart and intermedia, especially in the 20th and 21st century
Theory: As the project develops, we hope together to identify some underlying tendencies and principals behind interartistic and intermedial practice.
A workspace for artists:
Creative snapshots provides an experimental and multimedia blog for artists, curators and critics to display interart and intermedia. It is also a space to discuss examples/case studies.
A workspace for postgraduates:
Postgraduate research. This provides a window on the stimulating research that postgraduates attached to the project, or working during the summer schools, have written.
Resources for Museum Curators. In the latter part of the project, we will work with museum curators to provide resources for those who work with interartistic and intermedial displays.
Resources for Teachers. In the latter part of the project, we will work with teachers to create sample resources for those teachers who work, or want to work, with interartistic and intermedial forms in the classroom.
Events. Information about events we organize with an interartistic and intermedial focus that readers of this website have submitted to us.
