Laboratorio della Crisi

Ex consorzio agrario, Porto Torres (SS), Sardegna - May 8th to August 23rd 2009

Description

The Crisis Laboratory

The Crisis Laboratory was a practical utopia, held in Porto Torres, from May 8th to August 23rd , 2009, inside an abandoned building, formerly the seat of the local Agricultural Consortium.
During that short period, it found itself as a location for one of the most powerful and incisive alternative experiences of this recent years.Az.Namusn.Art, ripped, for a moment, of the careless and desolated attitude which many citizens were left, in a few months has become a magnet for all the adversary culture of Sardinia. It has hosted exhibitions, concerts, readings, activities of writers and film screenings. But, above all, has become a meeting place spontaneously. Meeting point and listen to creative energies unorthodox, unconventional, anarchic, intolerant of the sleep-inducing culture of consensus.
Now, given the success - particularly among the young - and after having resisted the spying, intimidation, the complete absence of economies, Az.Namusn.Art had to surrender to the speculation. The property claimed what he had previously abandoned and toxic dung. Demobilized the Laboratory, leaving the field to lotting.
The Laboratory of the Crisis was an adventure, not an intellectual dream. To reflect. In order not to yield to fatalism.
