Asilo Bianco Cultural Association

Asilo Bianco Cultural Association

Starting out from Kaprow’s statement, "Everything is art, and art is everything" the prerogative of the AsiloBianco is to create a true powerhouse of cultural development, based in the territory between Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore, its headquarters in Ameno, a small village perched on the hills. Created in 2005 with the establishment of a cultural association of which I am the chairperson and coordinator, Asilo Bianco has opened up channels of dialogue and exchange for all those types of artistic experimentation that set out to create "relationships" with other forms of art and with the territory as a whole.

Asilo Bianco identifies a means of understanding and interpreting reality through contemporary art, organising cultural events and training courses, as well as participating in integrated projects for the development of the territory.

Indeed, "landscape" is one of our key words, along with "gift", used to describe that revelatory moment of the encounter between the artist and the ‘other’, meant in the sense of a dimension unknown even to ourselves.
