Innovation and development of new forms

More about this place that is not like other places
The residence of Kulturscio’k in Domicella is located in the Santa Maria’s Property belonging to the prestigious neapolitan family Siniscalchi It is an ample construction marvellously restructured in 2014 and built in the beginnings of last century. Domicella is a small country situated in a woody basin to the borders of the Vallo of Lauro and Nola, almost 35 km from Naples (40 minutes by car).

Dipped in the green, Domicella is also characterized by a particularly mild climate. Fresh and windy air in summer, sweet in winter.

Displaced on 3 floors and absorbed in the light with 7 bed rooms , 6 baths and an ample kitchen, the residence can arrive to host up to 13/15 people.

More about artists not like other artists ….
The residence has wireless, apple tv, airplay in the rehearsal room. From the great garden that surrounds the house characterized by fruit trees, it is possible to relax enjoying the view of Vesuvius Vulcan and on the Valley of Lauro.

In the last floor, a room of 35 square meters with parquet can be used for stretching, meditation, watching videos etc..

Rehearsal room is a huge room of 110 square meters, 6 meters high , with linoleum on the floor , heater, dehumidification system. Particularly pleasant to work in the summer season in which the temperature of the room doesn’t overcome 25 degrees.

That is the reason why normally artists are lodged with other artists unless it is a rental request

Leaving us with a possibility to keep going the dialogue …
Artists are all requested to donate a work or a memory at the end of residency And to mention the name of residency in each future exhibition or conversation around the work and regular présentations And open doors to locals curators or guests

The objective is to keep a dialogue with selected artists to help them to find a network and to find a new form of collaboration

That is why once there artists are going to be invited to cme back if there is a special reason to continue the dialogue with the company and with us during the residency artistic directors and members of the company are in touch with artists, they will dialogue about possibilities to develop the work and they wil try to be available for an artistic exchange with selected artists

If an artist is invited to come back , then there will be a possible public showing of the work and we willt ry together to build a site specific performance out of the rehearsed work.
