Art Residency

// Art can generate virtuous devices that can help us decode our time and space

For Artists, Creatives and Curators

on the move !!

2 ° Piano is an independent and autonomous artistic residency project promoted by ZNSproject, a non-profit association. The main interest is focused on spreading the work of young artists and creatives who develop constant and innovative research; the development and experimentation of new contents in new contexts, the equal and constructive exchange between artists, organization and public, between those who observe and those who act and create. ZNSproject is a community, a network of artists, critics and art theorists who, with 2 ° Piano ArtResidence, organizes every year spaces for reflection and research on contemporary art.

Independent medium that gives independence to its members.

2 ° PianoArtResidence is a current alternative art project, it is independent and autonomous, it is not associated with any government or external business organization, it is independent of any personal interest, as it is a project made up of people.

Our goal is the free access to information, the plurality of opinions, It is a different model from the one commonly used, as it is based on mutual trust, contemplating only some "fundamental guidelines" of coexistence and responsibility that the members undertake to respect .

Because we think that the institution is not above people, but must necessarily be inserted in a system of absolute transversality: each and everyone makes the institution: 2 ° Piano ArtResidence / ZNSproject.
