1 – PROPOPOSAL AND PROGRAM
A Natural Oasis is a summer school taking place in San
Marino from 13 to 19 July 2014 in the municipality of
Montegiardino. It will be a working week dedicated to 15
young artists and researchers under 34 years of age coming
from and working in San Marino, in the member states of
the BJCEM www.bjcem.org and/or in the Small States of
Europe and geo-cultural micro-areas of the Little
Constellation network www.littleconstellation.org.
The artists selected will be supported by a team of
visiting professors and tutors, curators and artists,
scholars of European universities and academies. They
will have the opportunity to be involved in a cultural
exchange program between different cultures for the
production of new works and projects on contemporary
arts.
The proposal.
A Natural Oasis will have a specific and precise purpose:
documentary and archival investigation. In particular, all
the work will be based on the archives of Provoc’Arte,
Provo Carte, Provocar’te ARTEGIOVANE 4th edition –
1991. The results of this event, which are still present on
the territory of San Marino such as the work by
Maurizio Cattelan inside the former railway tunnel Il
Montale, will be the focus of the analysis, investigation
and work of the young artists selected.
A Natural Oasis is dedicated to contemporary art critic
and teacher Roberto Daolio, recently died, who curated
Provoc’Arte in 1991 and devoted himself to study the
methods through which the projects of young artists and
their languages could be developed.
A Natural Oasis will be directed by
Simone Frangi (1982), critic and curator. He is a
professor of Theory of Contemporary Art at the
Academy of Arts and Design of Grenoble-Valence,
France. He teaches Contemporary Aesthetics, Visual
Culture, Image and Virtual Theory, Body and
Performance Theory. Frangi is the artistic director of
Viafarini DOCVA in Milan and co-curator of the Live
Work – Performance Act Award.

research activity at the MA*GA – Museo Arte
Gallarate. He is also the co-secretary at the National
Prize of Visual Arts in Gallarate; a teacher of Art
and Design History at the School of Design of the
Marangoni Institute in Milan and curator of Errors
Allowed Mediterranea 16, the latest Biennial of
Young Artists.

Nina Danino, filmmaker artist and teacher of Visual
Arts at Goldsmiths University in London;
Ingibjorg Magnadottir, an artist, performer and visiting
professor at the Icelandic Academy of Arts of Reykjavik;
Gino Gianuizzi, a teacher of Urban and Territorial
