[ THE FUTURE  ]

The intention is to create, after a certain period of experience in each operative base, a network of residences for young artists who will be hosted for one month inside the homes chosen as operative base, with the objective to carry out a site-specific project related to the host territory.

Who is carrying out a project and has participated during the previous year to | FOOD | Open
Project, will be invited into one of the foreign bases for a residence.
 In a time of widespread economic crisis and difficulties in obtaining funds for clear ideas, | FOOD | Open Project proposes itself as a possible alternative: exchange of experiences, ideas, and projects through food, art, and the domestic space.

To share different forms of expression in the perspective of an opening and synergy between interpenetrating disciplines. Architects, artists, designers, graphic designers, musicians, writers, are invited to participate actively in the initiative.

The relationship with the territory is another strong point of the project; the entry into the
domestic and private space that welcoming what is coming from the outside reflects the philosophy of evolved cultural districts. A creative activity that brings social cohesion can do nothing but improve and develop the area where the project takes place.

The project is not just about a reflection on the local urban space, but it also involves the local gastronomic culture in situ and abroad.

Art is the mediator between all these components.

Giving to young persons working in the arts the opportunity to carry out their ideas
 consolidates the cultural territorial humus and increases the realization of artistic projects that enhance the cultural level both locally and internationally.
