WELCOME
TO THE 14TH
ELIA BIENNIAL
CONFERENCE
TURN
MIRRORS
INTO
WINDOWS
Dear Participants,
We are very pleased to welcome you to
the fascinating and iconic city of Florence
to participate in the 14th ELIA Biennial
Conference, hosted by Palazzo Spinelli in
partnership with many other Florentine
arts and higher arts education institutions.
The ELIA Biennial Conference is established as a major event for a large number
of institutes of higher arts education in Europe and beyond. We meet, we share, we
discuss, we celebrate, we establish new
links, and sometimes we change our views.
This year’s conference theme is TURN MIRRORS INTO WINDOWS. Europe has transformed almost beyond recognition over the
past years. Thanks to technological evolution, globalisation and open border policies,
we find ourselves working and living in
close connection to the rest of the world.
At the same time Europe's self-conception
as a place of tolerance, inclusion and prosperity is increasingly challenged by complex
issues such as large migration processes, an
ageing population, shifting economic powers and emerging populism and radicalism.
TURN MIRRORS INTO WINDOWS will
explore what we see when we look at ourselves, our institutions, and the world. To
what extent do we adapt, make use of or
even contribute to the challenges and opportunities presented? And how shall we
move forward? Florence, with its turbulent
political and artistic history, a beacon of
European cultural heritage, is the ideal city
to have this conversation.
We are pleased to offer you a rich conference
programme, including high profile speakers,
plenary discussions, round table discussions,
mobile workshops, pecha kucha presentations, networking events and much more.
We wish you an inspiring 14th ELIA Biennial Conference and stay in Florence.
The Conference Steering Committee

WELCOME
BY THE HOST
The 14th Biennial Conference comes in
the midst of commemorations for the fiftieth anniversary of the devastating flood
in Florence on 4 November 1966, which
brought death and destruction to Florence
and many other towns, and was a tragic
event for our art historical heritage.
It is a great honour for Palazzo Spinelli to
welcome you to the wonderful city of Florence.
We hope you have a truly unforgettable
experience.
Benvenuti!
Emanuele Amodei
CEO Palazzo Spinelli
Institute for Art and Restoration
Palazzo Spinelli Institute for Art and Restoration was founded in 1976 to train the
people arriving in Florence to help save
our heritage after the flood, and it is now
celebrating its fortieth anniversary as a
world-class centre for study, consulting,
vocational training and continuous professional development in the sector of conservation, restoration and heritage management.
When Florence was added to the list of
World Cultural Heritage in 1982, UNESCO stated that the decision had no need
for justification in light of the many works
of art and values that the city contained.
We now invite you to dive into the conference programme, engage with city during
the mobile sessions in Florence’s foremost
schools and institutions, amid monuments,
works of art, streets, theatres, museums
and collections, craftsmen’s workshops,
markets and osterias.
Enjoy the tastes, colours and lights of
the city, remembering that the history of
Florence teaches us that dialogue, participation, creativity, study, guardianship
and access to cultural heritage represent
the universal values that formed the foundation for its flourishing humanism and
growth during the Renaissance, and that
they are still a guide for the education of a
new generation of artists.

THE CITY
OF FLORENCE
Florence has a fascinating history and
played a vitally important role in shaping
European art over the centuries. The historic centre of Florence contains such a
wealth of masterpieces that it is difficult to
separate the city from its art works. Florence is not just about the Uffizi or Palazzo
Pitti; it is full of smaller, less well known
gems that make it endlessly delightful to
explore. In 1982 it was declared a World
Heritage Site by UNESCO and even just a
walk around the city centre will launch you
into layer upon layer of architectural styles
and artistic innovation, all surrounded by
deeply-rooted culture, food and wine.

PALAZZO DEI CONGRESSI
IED – EUROPEAN INSTITUTE
FOR DESIGN
PALAZZO VECCHIO
SALONE DEI CINQUECENTO
IED is one of the foremost design schools
in Italy and host to the Registration and
Open Space on Wednesday. The campus
in Florence is one of the latest additions to
IED, which was founded in 1966. It now
has seven locations across Italy, Spain and
Brazil, with courses and research opportunities in design, fashion, visual arts and
communication.
The Civic Reception on Thursday takes place
in Palazzo Vecchio: the main symbol of civil power for the city of Florence. Delegates
will be welcomed in Salone dei Cinquecento: the Hall of the Five Hundred. The Hall is
named after the five hundred members of
the Grand Council of the Republic, installed
after the exile of the Medici. It is the largest
and most important room in Palazzo Vecchio
in terms of artistic and historical value.
AUDITORIUM AL DUOMO
PALAZZO STROZZI
The Auditorium al Duomo is host to the
ELIA General Assembly on Saturday. It
is run by a division of the Fondazione
Romualdo Del Bianco®, which seeks to
foster true appreciation of the concept of
cultural heritage as a fundamental pole of
attraction for travellers and as a potential
tool for intercultural dialogue.
Palazzo Strozzi is the venue for the Closing Party on Friday and a great example of
civil architecture in the Renaissance with its
rusticated stone and harmonious proportions. Today the palace is used for all kinds
of cultural exhibitions and artistic events, as
well as international exhibitions. When you
attend the party you can admire its courtyard, which features an installation by the
Chinese artist Ai Wei Wei.
Via Maurizio Bufalini, 6/R
Piazza della Signoria
Piazza Adua, 1
The main venue is the 19th century Villa Vittoria in Palazzo dei Congressi. This
historical venue is conveniently located in
the city centre next to the central railway
station. At first glance Villa Vittoria is hidden behind the contemporary façade of
the Palazzo dei Congressi, revealing itself
when you’ve crossed the entrance hall
and stepped into the centuries-old park
that is part of the complex. Villa Vittoria
has been equipped with all modern comforts, yet maintains its original charm with
lunette vaults on the ground floor, finely
decorated coffered ceilings on the first
floor, mosaic pavements in marble and
terracotta, stone and marble marquetry
portals, elegant coat of arms, finely decorated wrought iron gates and painted polychrome glass windows.

THE CONSTRUCTED SPACE
FRIDAY 02 DECEMBER
09.45-10.15
Playwright and theatre director David
Greig will explore the way theatre making
in general and artistic direction in particular can construct a civic space in which we
as citizens can encounter each other outside binary discourse, with reference to his
experience making the play The Suppliant
Women. He will also assert that without
such the constructed space of art, democracy can become dangerous.

MAKING A LIVING
FROM THE ARTS
FRIDAY 02 DECEMBER
14.30-15.30
This session provides a guided tour into
some of the professional skills and competencies that today's artists need to make a
living from the arts. Such skills and com-
petencies go beyond cultural entrepreneurship, as these are necessary assets
for all artists and other professionals in the
21st century art world. The project NXT Making a Living from the Arts is half way
through its process and it gives a glimpse
of what creative hubs and higher arts education institutions are doing in this changing world. How can young artists make a
living from their artistic practice? How are
higher arts education institutions taking
into account cultural entrepreneurship and
the teaching of employability skills? What
are the new earning logics and economic
models that actually work? What opportunities are there for the arts on the interface between the arts and other fields?

The 14th ELIA Biennial closes with a
keynote by ELIA Executive Director Carla
Delfos. What can be said after 26 happy
years at ELIA, or better yet, what cannot
be said…Carla will not speak about the
history of ELIA, or well, maybe just a little
bit. She will be pondering over art, society,
education, the world and the crazy Times
That Are A-Changin’…again and again
touching upon the same elusive question:
‘why do we do what we do?'
The session will end with a performance
by saxophonist Olivier Duverger.

THURDAY 1 DECEMBER
15:00-18:00
The urban fabric of Florence has hardly changed since the Renaissance, with
world-class artefacts and art venues in
each of its narrow streets. The arts and
their creators have always been a cornerstone of Florentine economic and cultural
life and still are today, showcasing both
the city’s rich heritage and the contemporary arts. To engage with Florence in a
broader sense the Mobile Sessions have
been designed to give conference participants the rare opportunity to explore behind closed doors and meet local academics, practioners and producers. Through
dialogue with these experts, delegates will
explore the complex relationship between
Florence, its art history and its art future.
MOBILE SESSION 1
IED- EUROPEAN INSTITUTE
OF DESIGN
High-end Craftsmanship meets Advanced
Technologies
Crafts and contemporary thinking: new
forms of beauty for “hand made” products.
Delegates are invited to visit the European
Institute of Design and debate new trends
with style and design experts and Tuscan
craftsmen. A dialogue will be formed between those who are familiar with, and anticipate, aesthetic canons and the workers
who have made the Italian brand synonymous with quality.
MOBILE SESSION 2
PALAZZO SPINELLI INSTITUTE FOR
ART AND RESTORATION
A practical restoration workshop of
paintings on canvas and wood
Delegates are invited to come to Palazzo
Spinelli’s workshops and learn about the
restoration of paintings on canvas and
wood. The practical session will involve an
overview of various aspects of restoration
and conservation processes and an interactive demonstration of some of the techniques. Participants will also be able to visit the 15th-century chapel on the school
campus with frescoes by Santi di Tito.
MOBILE SESSION 3
FABBRICA EUROPA
Inter Pares Project, open work session with
Agnese Lanza and Julie Havelund
Fabbrica Europa invites delegates to attend
an open work session of the Inter Pares
Project, focused on the value of observing, describing, listening and remembering.
These elements are the raw material that
36
is physically explored and elaborated in the
performance to discover a new sense of
authenticity. The information taken from
what is around us, audience and architecture, allows a sense of inter pares, of equality between ourselves and the space, to
emerge from the work. The session is led
by dancer Agnese Lanza, a graduate from
London Trinity Laban Conservatoire, and
Scandinavian, London-based dance artist Julie Havelund. Agnese Lanza and Julie Havelund danced together for the first
time in the Square Dances (2011), a work
commissioned by the Dance Umbrella festival and directed by Rosemary Lee. In 2013
they began developing Inter Pares Project
and recently presented the work in different spaces both in the UK and in Italy.
MOBILE SESSION 4
LORENZO DE’ MEDICI - THE ITALIAN
INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE
Culinary Masterpieces: A creative
laboratory at Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici
Delegates will be welcomed to the LdM
Cucina in San Lorenzo Market and at the
Fashion Department of Istituto Lorenzo de’
Medici for an interdisciplinary laboratory involving Art, Fashion and Food. The session
will be an exploration into the fusion of regional colours and flavours with the art of
sensory experience. LdM extends an invitation to participants to travel on an artistic
journey of the five senses resulting in the
creative expression of aesthetics and taste.
MOBILE SESSION 5
CONSERVATORIO DI MUSICA ‘LUIGI
CHERUBINI’ DI FIRENZE
Conservatorio Cherubini: From Roots to
Leaves
Delegates will experience three multidisciplinairy musical interludes organised by
the Computer Music Department in the
Salone del Buonumore. During these interludes, small groups will be invited into the
Library to see the historic collections of
the Conservatoire, followed by short, live
acoustic performances from three different historical periods. The session will end
with a talk by organised by RAMI-Ricerca
Artistica Musicale in Italia, an association
for research development founded by the
Conservatorio Cherubini along with seven
other Italian conservatoires. The session
has been put together to involve delegates in the Conservatoire’s current teaching and research activities and show them
its historic links to the roots of our music
culture.
MOBILE SESSION 6
LIFE BEYOND TOURISM - TRAVEL,
HERITAGE AND DIALOGUE
Intercultural dialogue made through travel
The Fondazione Romualdo Del Bianco Life Beyond Tourism has been dedicated
to cultural rapprochement since 1991. Life
Beyond Tourism is the practical application
of the activities and research carried out by
the foundation for over 25 years with students from all over the world. The Foundation believes in travel as a crucial tool for
the development of territories. Forecasts on
tourism clearly show how important is this
economy. The world needs to transform the
power and capillarity of the tourism economy in a new form of hospitality that makes
a greater awareness of cultural diversity and
a consequent mutual respect possible – the
essential basis for peace in a world that is
moving towards 10 billion inhabitants. Delegates are invited to hear about how the
Foundation is now spreading its knowledge
and research through its network with over
500 institutions in 83 countries, and to take
part in the continuing debate on how to
move forward into the future.

MOBILE SESSION 7
LE ARTI ORAFE JEWELLERY SCHOOL
A Date with a Jewel at Le Arti Orafe
Jewellery School
A visit to the schools facilities offering insight into the activities of dissemination
of contemporary jewellery culture on an
international level and the possibility to
participate in an interview / dialogue with
a student at the workbench. Delegates
are invited to visit the LAO Facilities in
Oltr’arno. The visit includes an exhibition
of students’ works, a presentation of the
school’s teaching methods and its activities in the organisation of events dedicated to the dissemination of contemporary
jewellery. The delegates will also have the
chance to sit down at the workbench with
students and anticipate the creative process of making a piece of jewellery from
the idea to the object. To encourage further exchange, participating delegates are
asked to bring a (family) jewel (or a photograph of the same) to exchange a story of
their own with the students.
MOBILE SESSION 8
TEATRO LA PERGOLA: IN SUA
MOVENZA È FERMO
(IN MOVEMENT, UNMOVING)
A live visit to the historic Teatro della
Pergola intertwined with performances
recreating and explaining the theatre’s
history, secrets, evolution and spaces
The live theatre visit, In Sua Movenza è
Fermo, is named after the motto of the
Accademici Immobili, the founders of the
theatre. It is a voyage into the heart of the
theatre in the company of “friendly shadows”; the characters that, over three centuries, have made the Teatro della Pergola
great and immortal. The theatre manager/
impresario Lanari, the inventor Meucci,
38
the soprano Barbieri Nini, the stagehand
Canovetti and the wardrobe mistress of
Eleonora Duse tell their stories to visitors
as if suspended between a dream and real
life. The visit includes the museum section
of the theatre with items on display such
as the original stage lifting mechanism built
in 1857 by Canovetti and the high-backed
chair built for the première of Giuseppe
Verdi’s Macbeth in 1847.

most translated book in the world after Bible and Koran – through the identification
of historical themes mentioned in many
of the writer’s tales. The Association also
works on projects for the architectural, social and economic redevelopment of the
San Lorenzo district, where the author was
born and lived. Activities include support
for historical shops to promote the teaching of arts and crafts typical of Florence’s
artisan culture.

3RD CYCLE SUPERVISION
ROOM: AUDITORIUM
Supervision plays a crucial role in 3rd cycle education in the arts. We may all agree
that a common supervision culture shared
by supervisors, doctoral school leaders
and doctoral candidates is a priority for institutions to focus on. But which models
are out there and what possible support
structure can we imagine for the international community of artistic doctorates in
the future? Supervision must be a collective effort with clearly defined and written
responsibilities of the main supervisor,
supervisory team, doctoral candidate,
doctoral school, research group and the
institution, leaving room for the individual development of the doctoral candidate.
These challenges will discussed on the basis of practice examples with a view to a
future support platform. The session will
entail a panel discussion, with an emphasis
on exchange and dialogue with the audience.

eighteen-year-old Giambologna. The coat
of arms is on the balcony of the Palagio

Guelph Party in the Middle Ages.
