ingresso gratuito

(CON)TEMPORARY ART è il circuito di arte con-temporanea che riunisce due volte all’anno, in novembre e in occasione di MiArt, le location e alcune gallerie del quartiere più creativo di Milano, via Tortona e dintorni, proponendo un ricco calendario di personali, collettive, installazioni, performance, musica live, party, incontri con gli autori, eventi speciali “one shot”.

(CON)TEMPORARY ART è la manifestazione che trasforma la zona Tortona, già nota per i grandi
eventi di moda e design internazionale, nel quartiere dell’arte temporanea coinvolgendo tutta la cittadinanza in un’esperienza unica, diretta, non codificata o contenuta in spazi canonici.

Dopo il grande successo di pubblico (8000 visitatori, 244 artisti in 28 location), di critica e stampa ottenuto sin dalla prima edizione nella settimana di MiArt 2008, torna a novembre il secondo appuntamento annuale con (CON)TEMPORARY ART.

Una settimana di sperimentazione, di emozione, convivialità e di condivisione che vuole promuovere la giovane arte in modo innovativo,
con un’azione di “Temporary Art”, inserendo per brevi periodi all’anno in più di 20  location progetti curatoriali (curatori che presentano artisti mediante progetti site specific) che rappresentino nuove espressioni e nuovi sviluppi nell’ambito delle arti visive.

Non solo arte giovane di qualità, ma anche arte accessibile ai nuovi talenti della contemporaneità, ai giovani collezionisti e al grande
pubblico con una fitta agenda di mostre ed eventi ad ingresso libero, per un’intera settimana ad orario continuato.

Il progetto prevede inoltre il coinvolgimento degli studenti dell’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, in qualità di art assistant, analogamente a quanto già sperimentato con successo nella prima edizione con gli studenti IED.

(CON)TEMPORARY ART è un progetto di Gisella Borioli | M.A.T. (Milano Altri Talenti), con il patrocinio e il contributo del Comune di Milano, Cultura e del Comune di Milano Consiglio Di Zona 6.

'''COST-European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research'''

[http://www.cost-sid.org/ COST-IC0601 Action on Sonic Interaction Design (SID)]

= Call for Short-Term Scientific Missions =

== Objectives of the STSM ==

Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM) are aimed at strengthening the existing networks by allowing scientists to go to an institution or
laboratory in another COST member state to foster collaboration, to learn a new technique or to take measurements using instruments and/or methods not available in their own institution/laboratory. They are particularly (yet not exclusively) intended for young scientists (especially PhD students).

== Topics ==

[http://www.cost-sid.org/ COST-IC0601 Action on Sonic Interaction Design] is organized into four Working Groups (WG). Emphasis is on activities that will contribute to the research on one of the topics of the 4 Action's WGs. The applicants should, at the moment of the submission, specify to which of the 4 WGs their proposed mission belongs to. They should furthermore show clearly in their applications how the planned activities and the selection of Hosting Institution will contribute to this aim.

''' [http://www.cost-sid.org/wiki/WG1Percept 'WG1 'Perceptual, cognitive, and emotional study of sonic interactions' '] '''
promotes STSMs focusing on basic research questions addressed in perceptual, cognitive, and emotional studies of sonic interactions.
Research studies should be therefore aimed to the understanding of human sound reception in interactive contexts. The use of new experimental paradigms such as neurosciences, ergonomical and psycholinguistic studies are welcome.

''' [http://www.cost-sid.org/wiki/WG2Product 'WG2 'Product sound design' '] ''' supports STSMs involving the design and evaluation of interactive products with a salient sonic behavior. The results of such STSMs should involve methods stressing emotional, perceptual and aesthetical qualities of sounding objects, and help designers in introducing sonic properties in their process.

''' [http://www.cost-sid.org/wiki/WG3Art 'WG3 'Interactive Art and Music' '] ''' would like to encourage STSMs that explore the artistic, creative and critical potential of sound. We welcome artist-researchers from a variety of backgrounds such as art, music, design, architecture, sonic and performing arts as well as interdisciplinary approaches. The results of STSMs could contribute to understanding the role of sound in interactive art and music, suggest creative ways of using sound in interactive objects, environments or in the mobile context; other results might contribute to explaining the cultural and social context of sound.

''' [http://www.cost-sid.org/wiki/WG4Sonification 'WG4 'Sonification' '] ''' supports STSMs that contribute to a better understanding, design and use of sonifications in interaction. This encompasses among others novel applications for sonification, the development of sonification techniques, their evaluation as well as research on theory and guidelines. The results of such STSMs would suggest novel ways to create or use informative sounds that support the interaction, or deliver an increased insight into involved data or information.

== The Applicant ==

The selection of the applicant is the responsibility of the Management Committee (MC) of the Action. The Applicant should normally be engaged in a programme of research as a post graduate student or postdoctoral fellow or be employed in an institution of a COST Country having accepted the [http://www.cost.esf.org/index.php?id=110&action_number=IC0601 MoU] of the Action. The Host can be public or private, and should be in a COST Country having accepted the MoU and participating in the COST Action.
For the period of the STSM neither the Management Committee of the COST Action nor the COST Office may be considered as the employer and grantees must make their own arrangements for all health, social, personal security and pension matters. The Home and the Host Institution should be in a COST Member State having signed the MoU and participating in the COST Action. In exceptional cases a STSM may be approved from a Home Institution in a COST signatory country to a Host Institution in a non-COST country but not the other way round. The Applicant is responsible for obtaining the agreement of the Host Institution, before submitting his/her application.

== Duration ==

Short-Term Scientific Missions, minimum one week (5 working days), maximum 3 months, shall be made within the time frame of the operation
identified in the proposal and within the period of the Action.

== Finance ==

The financial support is a contribution to the costs of a STSM and may not necessarily cover all the costs in each case. The grant should
normally cover only travel and subsistence. The financial contribution for a STSM will be a fixed grant based on the Applicant's budget request and the evaluation of the application by the STSM assessment committee. An amount of 60 to 90 eur for the daily allowance in particular for longer stays and 300 eur for the travel is recommended. The total of a STSM shall normally not exceed 2500 eur. Any exception needs special justification. If approved, the grant will be paid after completion of the STSM.

== Application ==

The applicant should:

1. fill the online application form at [https://www.cost.esf.org/index.php?id=91 https://www.cost.esf.org/index.php?id=91]

2. send a detailed Work Plan and full Curriculum Vitae to [mailto:chair@cost-sid.org chair@cost-sid.org]

== Deadline ==

Applications for this call should be sent before December 1^st^
2008. Notifications of decisions will be sent by December 31^st^
2008. For this call, STSMs should take place before June 30^th^ 2009.

== After the STSM ==

After completion of the STSM the grantee is required to submit to the Host and MC chair a short '''scientific report''' on the visit within 4 weeks after his/her stay. The grantee is also required to produce a '''poster''' and a '''slideshow''' that illustrate the outcome of the STSM. Reports, posters, and slides may be published in the Action web site and displayed at MC meetings. Templates for posters and slides are provided [http://www.cost-sid.org/browser/action/doc/forms here]. It is highly advisable that the grantee, during the STSM, keeps an online progress report (website, diary, blog, etc.).

== Further information and rules ==

Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the detailed information provided by ''' [http://www.cost.esf.org/index.php?id=38 COST on STSMs] '''.

kunst Meran|o arte - Associazione Conductus

Giovedì, 6 novembre 2008 ore 18
Merano arte - Sala Cassa di Risparmio

Presentazione
Libro bianco sulla diffusione della musica contemporanea in Italia

Intervengono:
Gianni Trovalusci (Federazione CEMAT)
Claudio Lugo (Compositore - Redazione Libro Bianco)
Marcello Fera (Direttore Artistico Ass.Conductus e delegato R.It.M.O Rete)
Giacomo Fornari (Musicologo, Presidente dell’Istituto A.Vivaldi di Bolzano)

Il Libro bianco, curato dalla Federazione CEMAT e da R.It.M.O (Rete Italiana Musicisti
Organizzati), prodotto dalla Federazione CEMAT, rappresenta una importantissima iniziativa editoriale - la
prima pubblicazione in assoluto in Italia - sulle realtà che in tutto
il territorio nazionale si dedicano alla produzione e
all'organizzazione della musica contemporanea.
Il Libro Bianco è un poderoso strumento di lavoro, un’approfondita
documentazione, una capillare indagine che mette in evidenza tutti i
soggetti produttori e promotori della musica contemporanea operanti in
Italia, ma porta anche alla luce, attraverso un’attenta disamina delle
varie realtà, tutte quelle disfunzioni, latitanze e carenze da parte
dell’attuale legislazione, che inficiano in maniera determinante le
attività musicali del nostro Paese. Le 450 pagine che lo compongono si
articolano in quattro sezioni: catalogazione delle realtà organizzative
e/o produttive completo dei dati essenziali incluse le linee artistiche
e le principali produzioni; indagini statistiche generali nella quale
convergono principalmente i dati sulle risorse finanziarie; denunce
delle più eclatanti disfunzioni del sistema; capitoli-appendici che
trattano vari argomenti correlati.
