The project /ti’tano/ stems from the precise need to structure a working table dedicated to young artists operating in some European areas with a particular geopolitical situation, that is to say the fact of being a Small State, characterised by a double velocity, local and international at the same time. This translates into the possibility and need to have greater opportunities of meeting, dialogue, exchange and sharing of the different artistic practices and research activities. /ti’tano/ meets this need and addresses the issue according to which in the contemporary artistic system there is an anxiety to “exhibit”, to complete one’s own projects, to assert in order to assert, also in training and educational contexts. /ti’tano/ is therefore an occasion of slowing down, of creation and negotiation of knowledge, enriched by the complexity deriving from geography and the study of territories, in specific contexts, and within a framework, that of the World Event Young Artists of Nottingham, where the dimension of discourse becomes more important than the dimension of mere exhibition. Therefore, this is the reason why /ti’tano/ has been structured as a long-term research, able to develop in various stages, in parallel with the transformations of the word itself that gives its name to the project. /ti’tano/ as a “seed” word, as a moment of dialogue and generation of completely unexpected significant systems.
Titan is an ancient mythological figure, a gaseous satellite of Saturn, a romantic temperament, a large vessel sank. But Mt.Titano is also the hill on which rise the towers and castles of San Marino.
In the context of WEYA, and in partnership with Disorder, /ti’tano/ will be an unexpected event, a workshop and an exhibition which will develop directly from conditions, identities, meetings experimented and culturalised through the necessary value of experience. The result of this work will be an exhibition during the XVI Biennial of the Mediterranean, Ancona, Italy, June 2013.
