into the rock of gibraltar
conference - workshop
9 -11 december, 2012

The Ministry of Culture will be holding a series of workshops presented by the Little Constellation organisation and sponsored by the Bonita Trust.
Little Constellation, an International Network dedicated to artistic research in the small States and micro-geo-cultural areas of Europe, is presenting, for the first time, an educational and relational project in the cultural context of Gibraltar.
Into the Rock of Gibraltar is to be held at the Garrison Library and will be divided into several phases, with the aim of fostering the development of debate and investigation into the contemporary arts in this very distinctive region.
At different, specially planned times, the lectures will be targeted at different audiences: cultural researchers, students etc.
International experts will speak on the debate around the issues at stake, in turn eliciting specific and unexpected contents reflecting the identity of the different regions of origin.
Those present will include: the San Marino artists who devised the project, Rita Canarezza & Pier Paolo Coro, the curator of Little Constellation Alessandro Castiglioni, the Gibraltan artists Gino Sanguinetti and Nina Danino, the Montenegrin curator and lecturer Svetlana Racanovic and the Icelandic artist and teacher Hekla Dogg Jonsdottir.
The workshops will deal with relations between the visual arts and geography, illustrating how some “best practices” related to these areas are irreplaceable instruments of knowledge: from the journey to the experience of diversity and that of getting lost.
The final purpose is then to understand art as an instrument of knowledge of the world and not merely as an aesthetic detail of our everyday lives.
Finally, within this framework there will be the premiere presentation of The Land seen from the Sea, issued by Mousse Publishing, a book that brings together the results of the research, workshops and exhibitions curated by the Little Constellation network between 2011 and 2012 and which, among others, included participation and support by Gibraltar artists and institutions.
“Little Constellation - Into the Rock of Gibraltar” workshops are promoted by the Government of Gibraltar, Ministry of Culture, Heritage, Youth & Sport, the Garrison Library and the Fine Arts Association, in collaboration with the Little Constellation Network Library and Archive, Social and Cultural Activities Office, Ministry for Tourism and Culture of the Republic of San Marino. They are sponsored by the Bonita Trust.
