Set Up! Exhibition Test Workshop is an exhibition design workshop led by Benedetta Casagrande (Ardesia Projects) and Elena Vaninetti (Twenty14), co-founders of Show&Tell. The workshop aims to create a horizontal and collaborative working process in which participants will be able to experiment and find the most suitable exhibition form for their work. Participants will be encouraged to move away from the classic idea of a photographic exhibition, exploring

site-specific approaches, the use of different media and learning how to develop an exhibition plan based on a real space.

 

An opportunity to experiment with methods of finalising one's own project and to produce works that will remain in the hands of the participants. The goal of the workshop is the creation of a collective installation, which will be presented to the public in the form of a pop-up exhibition in the gallery space Pananti Atelier, Milano.
