Collage Arts Students - Day 5



Today we got up and met Anna and walked down to the university cafe and Enzo arrived shortly after, spoke to Anna and Enzo about opening a tumblr account and they accepted our proposal because they didn't want to limit our creativity, shortly after that we started our journey to the Maxxi and met Stefania Vannini the head of the Education Department, she showed us the interior designs by Zahaa Hadid who is the architecture based in London, she then took us into a room where Fiona Tan's projects was placed, videos where place on white boards that hung from the ceiling acting as a picture frame the footage was captures in the 3 biggest prisons in the US, after that she took us too the top floor where there was more video art, we had to put on headphones whilst walking around the room and the sound changed depending on the section of the room we was in, the first section was videos of a house museum and the music was a chord of strings being played from a stringed instrument which went up and down keys, we then walked to the second section where the sound changed to the audio from the video of a working class asian couple, the third section had numerous bean bags to lay or sit on whilst watching the video of Marco Polo narrating. we then went back to the apartment for a little while to edit and do any pieces of work outstanding we then went to the cassa del jazz to film and photograph a book show/reading by Andrea Satta and Francesco Di Giacomo from the book Ci Sara' Una Volta, Andrea Satta arranges meeting for him to read to the parents and kids.

"I found it to be an amazing experience due to having a keen interest in Zahaa Hadid's work whilst studying it in college, so getting to see it for my self was an irreplaceable experience" - Jamel Taylor 

"Going to the Maxxi gallery has been a really good opportunity of seeing the arts world in another country, it has broaden my horizon and hopefully i can take away something that will inspire me to create great artwork" - David Christie
