Basu Foundation for the Arts ( BFA ) is a not-for-profit, philanthropic organisation established in 1911 and revived in 2014 to encourage and support innovation, experimentation and potential in the arts. Placing the artist at the core, the foundation facilitates a programme of dance, music, sound, performance art, theatre and visual arts exhibitions and residencies both in India and internationally.
From its base in Calcutta, the foundation runs an international residency programme for curators and artists. The aim of the residencies is to provide an innovative forum for contemporary performance and visual practices, one that is totally committed to the artists and their creative endeavor whilst encouraging cross-cultural dialogue and sustained discourse with the local community. Central to the foundation’s philosophy is a commitment to public benefit through the arts and this is realized through community led initiatives such as workshops, talks, screenings and events. The diverse programming involves and draws a range of audiences – from recent arts graduates to practicing artists, emergent writers to established curators and from schools to university students and lecturers.
Founded on a strong desire to advance public appreciation of contemporary art, the foundation works closely with collectors based in India and abroad to establish connections with foundations and institutions for the loans of works for exhibition internationally.
The Gallery of the Basu Foundation exhibits the works of the artist in residence with the mission to create an awareness of the works and the artist by curating exhibitions in a vibrant contemporary art space in Kolkata and across India and connecting these artists with international collectors, galleries, foundations and museums and provide them with the necessary exposure among the right networks.

In 2012 Pentagram Stiftung launched LE STANZE DEL VETRO [Rooms for Glass], a long-term joint initiative in collaboration with Fondazione Giorgio Cini, on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. LE STANZE DEL VETRO is a permanent exhibition space, which hosts solo and group shows featuring international artists and glass manufacturers from the 20th and 21st centuries, who have used glass as an original means to express their own personal aesthetics.

Moreover, Pentagram Stiftung and Fondazione Giorgio Cini have set up a GLASS STUDY CENTRE within the Institute of Art History of the Fondazione Cini to establish a comprehensive archive of Venetian glass, the first of its kind, where original drawings, photographs, letters and all kind of documents, ephemeral and not, are collected to save them from permanent loss and make them available to the academic community.

Year by year, a succession of artworks made of natural materials are donated to nature which modifies them, turning them into something new. Every season covers Arte Sella itineraries with colours, shades and new scents: the route is a continuous discovery, every time a different emotion.

SALVADORI ARTE - Artistic Foundry | Pistoia, Italy

SPECIAL PRIZE DETAILS

International Art Residency
in Pistoia Tuscany di 20 days for 1 artist

The residency includes:
- accommodation
- realization of the project
- opening

Pistoia Tuscany, Italy
www.salvadoriarte.it

The artistic foundry Salvadori Arte is located in Pistoia, Tuscany, and has been operating since 1964. The company produces works of art in bronze and other metals, with the technique of lost wax, operating in a 700 sqm indoor space and 600 sqm outdoor space. Salvadori Arte is the last heir of the great metallurgical tradition of Pistoia, dating back to the eleventh century, and reaching its highest splendor in the early decades of the twentieth century.
It creates works for major Italian and international sculptors, including Roberto Barni, Luigi Ontani, Claudio Parmiggiani, Mario Merz, Steven Cox, Jorio Vivarelli, Igor Mitoraj, Mark Kostabi, Ilya Kabakov, Leonid Sokov, Grisha Bruskin, Umberto Mastroianni, Pericle Fazzini, Domenico Paladino, Daniel Spoerri, Fabio De Poli, Robert Morris, Bino Bini, Fernando Botero, Franco Fossi, Edoardo Bruno, Mario Ceroli, Pawel Althamer, Alexander Kosoloapov, Gustavo Aceves among others.
Some of its castings are housed in the most famous museums and art collections in the world, as well as in countless squares and gardens of art towns.

THE TECHNIQUE OF LOST WAX FUSION
It entails the coating a support of refractory earth in wax, which will be modeled afterwards; then an additional earth layer is applied on the wax, which is thus trapped inside the two masses.
By strongly heating the casing thus obtained, the wax melts and overflows from specific vents.
In the thin gap left by the wax, usually a few millimeters thick, the liquid alloy is poured, which by cooling and hardening, produces the fusion. When the fusion is complete, the sculpture is liberated from the different external castings and its surfaces are refined and polished.
Finally, through various oxidations and heat treatments, the desired patina is given to bronze.
The Zeus in Athens, the horses of Saint Mark’s in Venice, the Marco Aurelio in Rome’s Campidoglio, and the great sculptures of the Renaissance, were made using this very technique, which, over time, has hardly been amended.

The city now instigates activities for the progression of human rights, and continuously helps spread awareness and cultural understanding.

The collaboration between the Department of International Relations of the city of Nuremberg and the Arte Laguna Prize was born in June 2013 and it includes an exchange between Venetian and German artists

The heir of an ancient glass-making institution, Abate Zanetti is the meeting point between the past and the future of glass art.

These ones include a number of courses on the methods of both traditional and contemporary artistic working of glass, as well as on general topics connected to technology, design, and marketing. The second soul, in continuity with the first, is the productive one, a natural evolution aimed at creating new opportunities in a market that is always asking for new solutions.
Abate Zanetti is now a centre of excellence for the production, research and experimentation on cutting-edge glass art and design techinques, and it is able to create glass artworks starting also from the customer's project (with the eleboration of the design and prototype), or by following the designer's directions.

Murano, Italy
www.fondazioneberengo.org

The Berengo Foundation was established by Adriano Berengo who recognized the importance of keeping the centuries-old craft of glassmaking in Venice alive. By translating the language of craft to that one of contemporary art, he created a way to enter into the world of glassmaking and preserve the knowledge, skills and traditions of the Murano master glassmakers.
The Berengo Foundation invites artists, both established and emerging, to work in Murano with the master glassmakers and presents the works during Glasstress, a collateral event in the Venice Biennale of Art that has been held in Palazzo Franchetti since 2009. Glasstress showcases this collaboration between contemporary artists and the craftsmen of Murano and in this way helps assure the future of the craft of glass making.
The Foundation has also established an exhibition space in Murano as a second venue for Glasstress and as a permanent home for glass works of contemporary art.
The Foundation also sponsors a residency and internship programs to provide a significant educational opportunity for students and contemporary artists to experiment in the craft of glass.

International Art Residency
in Milan for 1 month for 1 artist

The residency includes:
- accommodation
- grant
- assistance
- final open day

Milan, Italy
www.fonderiabattaglia.com

Founded in 1913 by three partners - Ercole Battaglia (former chief of Necchi foundry), Giulio Pogliani (moulder) and Riccardo Frigerio (chiseler) - “Fonderia Battaglia, Pogliani e Frigerio” has always been one of the main Italian artistic foundries.
Since then, in the course of an agitated century, a number of bronze works have been created and are created every day by craftsmen through the ancient tradition of art casting, that is always tightly bound to the history of the protagonists of the time. In the Foundry some sculptures by Lucio Fontana, Marino Marini, Alik Cavaliere, Giacomo Manzù, Floriano Bodini, Francesco Messina, Alighiero and Boetti, Giuseppe Penone, Giò and Arnaldo Pomodoro among others have been created.
The process of creating bronze sculptures, little known by most people, goes from the realization of the model in wax, that is the exact copy of the sculptor's model, to the bronze casting that will make the finished sculpture.
The space of the foundry is a real workshop of about 1,500 square metres, subdivided into departments according to the stages of processing the material: it is a work place where every day about twenty artisan casters practice a silent and handmade art, that is extremely precious.
For 100 years (and still today!) in Battaglia culture and technique have melted, in the Reinassance warmth of furnaces and in the sounds of a material that eternally comes alive.

From the birth of the laboratory, Fiorenzo Fallani’s direction for artistic production was rediscovered through the use of screen printing.
With the subsequent experience of Gruppofallani, the prospectives were amplified and confirmed through a multi-purpose usage in the area of museum installations and display exposition.
Today FallaniVenezia intends to follow on the work started by Fiorenzo Fallani, continuing to seek out collaborations with artists that are approaching the screen print medium and opening up the laboratory through training courses and hands-on experience with printing.
The context is the same that hosted the artists that have animated the laboratory through the years, thus creating a continuity of the past into the present and into the future, with the intention of building important relationships and collaborations with those whose life is the creation, diffusion and commercialization of art.
