School of Art and Restoration
Today, the global scenario of the art system includes a growing number of physical and virtual venues representing a wide range of curatorial projects and opportunities
The global scenario of the art and culture system includes an increasing number of physical and virtual places - such as museums, exhibition spaces, public and private galleries, biennials, fairs, digital platforms - which offer a wide range of opportunities to develop cultural projects.
IED's academic offer in the field of Art covers three main areas:
- artistic creation
- curatorship and artistic/cultural management
- conservation and restoration
with the aim of providing students with the skills, experience and connections necessary to cover the demand for highly specialized professionals in the cultural market.
The subjects of artistic production in the IED group are mainly entrusted to the training offer of the Aldo Galli Academy of Fine Arts in Como through a three-year course in Painting and Visual Languages and a two-year specialist course in Painting and Digital Arts which are flanked by specific courses of study both in Como and in the other cities of the IED group in Italy and Spain.
The professional figures collateral to those of the artist who accompany, guide and complete the complex machinery of the art system have been examined by IED in the NOT AN ARTIST research project which, in addition to producing a series of exhibitions that unite artists and designers, consists of an itinerant dialogue between experts on the evolution of professions in the art world with the aim of constantly updating the educational offer and the teaching staff of IED and Accademia Galli to offer an educational experience that is as effective as possible for all those who intend to pursue a career in the artistic and cultural fields.
The binomial Art/Conservation is essential to talk about the protection, prevention, documentation and analysis of the universal artistic heritage. Preserving means building a future without forgetting where the point of origin is, gathering the lessons of the past to try to understand and finally improve them. The love for art leads us to have an ethical and personal relationship with the artifact and we must communicate how its protection is necessary to pass on a message, a language to future generations.
In addition to having a dedicated academic offer, the study of artistic subjects is widely spread in IED. We encourage our students to conceptually and creatively explore the ways in which contemporary art practice and critical theory interact. Furthermore, the study of Art in IED aims to broaden the knowledge of contemporary artistic developments and to deepen the understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of academic discourses on visual culture.
Art has always been the magnifying glass through which observing society and its changes and having creative skills or artistic skills using digital tools and traditional media allows you to develop self-reflection projects but also to be competitive in the world of creativity.
