Palestra del feedback (feedback gym) is an intensive atelier dedicated to sharing and experimenting with specific methodologies of observation and feedback of unfinished creative materials.
By involving a diverse group of artists and curators, the feedback training is oriented on both artistic and curatorial materials.
The practice of feedback is a founding methodology of development processes in the relational, collective and creative spheres and a fundamental part of the processes of artistic mentoring. The training we encourage is therefore to give, receive and moderate feedback, assuming that working together starts from different positions and develops equally on three different roles: expression, reception and moderation of feedback.
The palestra allows participants to practice and exercise the proposed methods starting with the sharing of their own materials in progress: both artists and curators will give and receive feedback on the shared materials, therefore mitigating the vulnerability that often comes from opening up one’s work, in an atmosphere of reciprocity and trust where to learn together.
Participants of 2022 edition were Beatrice Bresolin, Lucia Di Pietro, Lucrezia Palandri, Lorenzo De Simone, Lorenzo Giansante, Doriana Crema, Chiara Ameglio, Angela Fumarola, Marco Betti, Paola Granato
INCOMPIUTI and Palestra del feedback arise from the convergence of interests of Workspace Ricerca X and shared training torino, with the collaboration of Lavanderia a Vapore, around the role of feedback and the legitimization of artistic processes. Starting from common needs and lacks in the field regarding the encounter between artists and programmers, the proposal was to create moments and occasions that would nurture and support the strengthening of a community and context creation.
