InhalteStarting from a theoretical investigation, on modes of distribution and dispersion in the field of art, we discuss and understand strategies, techniques, tools, giving indications to assemble a compelling dossier, for different levels of artistic experience, aims, biographies, by diving into a workshop-like environment. We will look at how to speak about and how to argue about the (art-)work.
To to better understand the portfolio and the discourse around it, this lab integrates several visitors: experienced art professionals such as curators and cultural actors, designers and gallerists. It furthermore provides an encounter with works by relevant contemporary artists.


Gabriele Garavaglia studied architecture in London and Milan. He attended the Fine Art Master program at ECAL in Lausanne. During the last years Gabriele has been presenting his work internationally, receiving the Swiss Art Awards 2019. His artistic production focuses on new performativity, living images and hyper contexts.
