SUMMARY:RELazioni. Visual Arts and Sculpture in the Architectural and Landscape Spaces of L'Aquila and Its Surrounding Area
DESCRIPTION:The project calls for a group of selected fine arts academies to create at least 5 works per academy during 2026\, one of which will be of medium to large in scale\, suitable for installation in the urban environment\, while the other four works will be medium to small in scale\, suitable for indoor exhibition. The Academy of Fine Arts of L’Aquila is the project leader and\, in agreement with the City of L’Aquila\, has identified five other state-run academies as project partners\, specifically the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome\, the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples\, the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara\, the Brera Academy of Fine Arts\, and the Ravenna Academy of Fine Arts\, whose participation will be featured in a special section through the creation of a work using the artistic techniques of mosaic or ceramics. There are also plans to combine the exhibition of the produced works with a competition aimed at awarding prizes to some of the created works. The opening will take place on August 20 at 6:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:Dream / Sleep | Artist-in-Residence Program with the "Alfredo Casella" Conservatory
DESCRIPTION:As part of the program for L’Aquila 2026\, Italian Capital of Culture\, the project Sogno / Sonno by the Xplosiva association is hosting an artist residency in collaboration with the “Alfredo Casella” State Conservatory of Music in L’Aquila\, where contemporary musical languages\, sound experimentation\, and performance practices intertwine in a collective process of research and shared creation. \nLeading the project is Francesco Fantini\, a musician and sound designer with an international background—including the “G. Verdi” Conservatory in Turin\, the “G.F. Ghedini” in Cuneo\, and MIAM in Istanbul—known for his versatility across pop production\, collaborations with artists such as Annalisa\, and film scores\, including the soundtrack for Yuri Ancarani’s *The Challenge*\, which was presented at the Locarno Film Festival. Joining him are two internationally renowned artists: Tomat\, a musician from the spime.im collective\, who has performed at the Barbican in London and at the MUTEK and Ars Electronica festivals\, and whose soundtrack for *Mondocane* was featured at the Venice Film Festival; and Canva6\, whose work spans electronic music and the performing arts\, having performed at MACRO in Rome and the Triennale in Milan\, and who composed the soundtrack for *Eat the Night* at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival’s Quinzaine des Cinéastes. \nThe residency culminates in a public presentation open to the city\, serving as the concluding moment to share the creative process developed during the week-long residency.

SUMMARY:Dream / Sleep | Concert
DESCRIPTION:As part of the program for L’Aquila 2026\, Italian Capital of Culture\, the project *Sogno / Sonno by the Xplosiva association reaches its conclusion with a public presentation of the composition and performance resulting from the artist-in-residence program conducted in collaboration with the “Alfredo Casella” State Conservatory of Music in L’Aquila. \nOn stage: Francesco Fantini\, Tomat\, and Canva6 —three of the most original voices on the Italian and international experimental and contemporary music scene—present to the audience in L’Aquila the result of a week of collective creation: a sound performance that explores the threshold between wakefulness and dreams\, between silence and sound\, and between the individual dimension and shared space. A unique and once-in-a-lifetime event\, in which the artistic process opens up to the city and the audience becomes both a witness to and a part of a profound and transformative listening experience. The evening is part of the vision of Sogno / Sonno\, a project that\, since its inception\, has explored the reappropriation of urban spaces through special formats and innovative ways of experiencing them.
