"Rome - Dimensions of the Book" (Study Trip to Rome, Italy)
How does a book become an artistic book? Is it its materiality or its artistic content?
These are questions of the summer school "Rome - Dimensions of the Book". It studies the temporal and spatial dimensions of books. We focus on Rome, the city that brings different layers of the history of the book together with contemporay artists exploring the "scrittura asemica", a movement which concentrates on material aspects. Recently their work was part of the MAMCO-Exhibition Writing by Drawing.

| Inhalte | Artist Mirella Bentivoglio thematises the book as an object whose materiality proves fascinating. Her archive in Rome presents works on the threshold between historical avant-gardes and contemporary visual art and poetry. The Summer School explores temporal and spatial dimensions of books (form and materiality). The book has evolved from the scroll through the codex to the electronic book. The Summer School discusses Bentivoglia’s work and contemporary artworks in the historic centre of Rome to explore how artistic perception and production are intertwined with the dimensions of the book. Partners of the Summer School: Istituto Svizzero, Villa Maraini, Roma Accademia delle Belle Arti, Roma Dipartimento di Filosofia, Università La Sapienza, Roma About the lecturer: Dr. Nils Röller is Professor for Media and Cultural Theory. In his practice he explores contemporary poetic strategies (romanform.ch). His current Research Project focusses on Visual Philosophy (iconographyofphilosophy.ch). |
