our space

the map

Chiasso Perduto is an experimental space for artistic residences, is part of the Palazzo Macchiavelli and used to be the cellar and kitchens of the same palace. The objective is to open a dialogue with the resident artists that results in a site specific intervention. Our philosophy is always to create an interaction with the territory, to inquire about the position of an artist in front of a specific context, whether is the space itself with its architecture and history that already have a strong identity, be it a cultural dialogue with the neighborhood or the city and/or with the language, generating new codes that allow artists to expand their artistic research, perhaps breaking boundaries in terms of cultural constructions, techniques, of philosophical approaches and finally repositioning in front of a questioning of the conceptualization of the work itself.
