TTB, Contemporary Locus and FDE are resuming TAD Residency in 2023 with renewed determination. TAD combines the will to carry on art experimentation and research via exchange, relational and sharing processes, with offering support to artists.

TAD Residency is a project involving the call and cohabitation of theater, visual arts and dance artists. It was born in Bergamo out of the collaboration between TTB, Contemporary Locus and FDE. Goal of the residency is the unbound experimentation of trans-disciplinary practices, shared by the invited artists in Monastero del Carmine, transformed for the occasion in a large co-working space.

The TAD Residency logbook, found in the 2 social diaries of the residence, will contain texts, images and videos depicting moments of shared time, activities and everyday actions.

ARTI VISIVE
Sophie Ko (Tbilisi, Georgia 1981; lives and works in Milan) places the question of time at the center of her works by establishing a strong symbolic relationship between the materials used - mostly pure pigments and ashes of burnt images - and the images created. The change and instability of materials in relation to the passage of time are some of the constants in her artistic research, which wedges between tradition and revolution with the apparent lightness of butterfly wings.
Trained at the Tblisi Academy and the Brera Academy in Milan, her most recent solo exhibitions include: E quando miro nel cielo arder le stelle, Building, Milan, 2022, Alzarono gli occhi e avvertirono il cielo, Galerie East, Strasbourg, 2022, Il resto della terra, Galleria de'Foscherari, Bologna, 2021. La forma dell'oro 9/12 Metaxú, Buildingbox, Milan, 2021. Atti di resistenza in Materie Spazi Visioni, Building Gallery, Milan, 2020, Geografie temporali, Galleria Internazionale d'Arte Moderna di Ca' Pesaro, Venice, 2019.
Since 2014 there have been 6 monographs on Sophie Ko's work.
