[ FOOD ] Open Project

| FOOD | Open Project draws inspiration from entropy to cultivate a collaborative space where diverse forms of expression and disciplines blend, evolve, and enrich one another. Entropy, in the context of | FOOD | Open Project, takes on a symbolic dimension, evoking the creative abundance and untamed energy found in the free and open exchange of ideas.

The FOOD | Open Project is dedicated to organizing meals that support and fund innovative ideas and projects.

| FOOD | Open Project encourages the sharing of diverse forms of expression, fostering collaboration and synergy across intersecting disciplines. Architects, artists, designers, graphic designers, musicians, and writers are all invited to actively engage in the project.

The relationship with the local territory is a crucial aspect of the initiative; the integration of domestic and private spaces with external influences reflects the philosophy of evolved cultural districts. Creative activities that promote social cohesion will undoubtedly enhance and develop the area where the project is implemented.

This project is not merely a reflection on the local urban landscape; it also embraces the local gastronomic culture both in situ and abroad. Art serves as the mediator among these diverse components.

By providing young creatives with opportunities to realize their ideas, we strengthen the cultural fabric of the region and foster the development of artistic projects that elevate cultural engagement on both local and international levels.

[ HOW IT WORKS ]

FOOD is held at the beginning of each new season, welcoming individuals with a connection to the city where the operational base is located, who have ideas they wish to bring to life.

Anyone interested in presenting their project can reach out by emailing: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

In addition to presenting their ideas, the interaction with the space hosting FOOD is crucial. Selected participants will be required to organize an artistic intervention within the provided venue.

To be eligible as a Guest, applicants must have a project idea to develop along with a free installation that engages with the location.

The FOOD Open Project team will periodically select the most deserving proposals in line with the project's spirit. The selection committee consists of the individuals responsible for the project at each base.

[ THE FUTURE ]

The aim is to establish a network of residencies for young artists after a period of experience in each operational base. These artists will be hosted for one month in selected homes, with the objective of developing site-specific projects that resonate with the host territory.

Those who have completed a project and participated in the previous year’s | FOOD | Open Project will be invited to one of the international bases for a residency. In a time of widespread economic crisis and challenges in securing funding for innovative ideas, | FOOD | Open Project offers a viable alternative: a platform for exchanging experiences, ideas, and projects through food, art, and domestic space.
