Building Textures. The PICNIC at the Tempio River is back

Between May 5 and 10, 2009, The park is to host the PICNIC AT THE TEMPIO RIVER (www.picniclab.net), as a workshop for the development of project designs and instantaneous constructions conceived and produced by NOWAlab.

The workshop, curated by Mario Lupano, Marco Navarra and Alessandro Rocca, is working this year on the theme BUILDING TEXTURE. It explores a field where various design approaches and techniques, ranging from fashion design and architecture to contemporary art and literature, intertwine.

The foundational element of the workshop is the Linear Park. And all of the activities are to take place in the area surrounding its core. The project for the Linear Park has a long and significant history which started off when its founder, Marco Navarra started to sense that a series of old abandoned train-tracks, located at the heart of Sicily, could come back to life with an alternative function of their own. The Linear Park become the site where every spring architects and designers coming from all over the world meet to talk about the landscape and work on the interactions it has with arts and architecture.
