DEFAULT Masterclass was an international cultural and artistic residence hosted in Lecce,Southern Italy.
- - - - - -
During ten days, twenty selected artists discussed with curators, artists, cultural producers, transnational partners and local audience about some key questions of our (austere) time: how to interact within a wider governmental policy concerning urban regeneration? How to tackle the increasingly politicised stakes that underpin cultural inquiry on urban centres’ and neighbourhoods’ revitalisation? Do artists, curators, art managers and policy makers have to default to “art and regeneration practices” which are no longer feasible yet still entrenched in cultural structures because there is no other alternative given?
- - - - -
The works took places in several regenerated spaces in the city of Lecce. Among the guests and invited lecturers: Lewis Biggs (Biennial of Liverpool), Celine Condorelli (artist), Andrea Lissoni (Xing and Hangar Bicocca), Julia Draganovic (No Longer Empty), Alfredo Cramerotti (curator, AGM and director of Mostyn Gallery), Hannah Conroy (curator, AGM), Andrei Siclodi (Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen), Ana Hoffner (artist), Paolo Mele (Ramdom), Pietro Gaglianò (art critic), Filipa Ramos (curator and art critic), Emiliano Paoletti (Bjcem), Gregor Neuerer (artist).

Unique to Ibraaz is a 'platform', a question put to writers, thinkers and artists about an issue relevant to the MENA region. This platform is sent to respondents both in and beyond the MENA region and it will change every six months.
