IRREGULAR TALENTS
Start date: Oct 1, 2013,

Irregular Talents project aims to foster social inclusion via an artistic immersive experience which promotes transnational mobility of artists, artworks, intercultural dialogue and exchanges. Its aim is to bridge the divide between art and the so called ‘outsider art’ or ‘irregular art’, meaning the art produced by people somehow outside from contemporary art circuits. Irregular Talents will offer a new approach towards these artists, by leaving aside the traditional focus on biographies and marginalization aspects, and start looking at them and at their artworks with artistic criteria. The consortium of partners is made of: Nazareno Società Cooperativa Sociale (Coop. Nazareno-Italy), Stowarzyszenie Międzynarodowe Centrum Zarządzania Informacią (ICIMSS-Poland), Wyższa Szkoła Gospodarki w Bydgoszczy (WSG-Polonia), and Verein Integrative Kukturarbeit (VIK, Austria). They are different organizations active at different levels in art, culture, disability and “disadvantage” sectors. The implementation consists of 2 cross-country macro-actions: production of monographs regarding the artworks of artists with disadvantages and the organization of an itinerant art exhibition in Italy, Poland and Austria. Every country will choose a team of art experts who select 4 artists with a kind of disadvantage (social, mental, physical or whatever). The artworks of these 12 artists will be studied by renowned art experts with artistic criteria and the output of this research-work will be the publishing of multilingual monographs about them. At the same time, these artists will realize artworks about a common shared theme, which will be the theme of the itinerant art exhibition, where the works of the artists involved in the project will be shown together with other artworks from ‘regular’ artists. The monographs will be enclosed in the multilingual catalogue of the exhibition which will be published and disseminated internationally
