Under the guidance of the artist Christina Mackie, the XXIV edition of the CSAV - Artists' Research Laboratory, entitled How to Begin, will take place at the Antonio Ratti Foundation from 2 to 25 July 2018. At the laboratory, directed by Annie Ratti with Lorenzo Benedetti and Gregorio Magnani, eighteen young artists from different nations of the world will take part. The theme of the How to Begin workshop is suggested by Mackie's reflections on the space that precedes and informs the creation of a work of art.
