This weekend we had a school excursion with students from the Siena Art Institute and Siena School for Liberal arts, exploring areas of Lazio, Umbria, and Tuscany! Stops included the beach at the Marina di Capalbio, the Chiesa di San Pietro in Tuscania, and the quirky and dizzying “Giardino dei Tarocchi”, an esoteric sculpture garden of the artist Niki de Saint Phalle in southern Tuscany.
On April 4th at 6pm we’ll host an artist’s talk with Irene Lupi, Italian artist, former student of SART, and recent winner of the TU35 prize from the Centro Pecci, whose artwork uses video to explore personal narratives on the permanence of memory and representations of self.
Some snapshots as our students and faculty critique the mid-term projects from our current Art & Society course…

Italian architect and landscape designer, founder of the Arscape studio, Annunziata De Comite, spoke about the contemporary landscape and the possibility to create new opportunities and to determine new social equilibriums, forms of production, culture, and identity. Her work utilizes a series of methods to study the landscape, always using the concept of subjectivity to individuate the characteristics of the everyday landscape.
