What does it mean today to create art in public space? How can artists intervene in urban and unconventional contexts in ways that are radical, poetic, and transformative?

From 5 to 10 June 2025, BASE Milano and ZONA K will host one of the five immersive labs promoted by the IN SITU PLATFORM, the European network dedicated to artistic creation in public space, of which BASE is a partner. The lab brings together 11 emerging artists selected through a European open call<\/span> <\/a>that received over 550 applications from 27 countries \u2014 an opportunity to explore practices, visions, and site-specific approaches in an international context.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In February 2025, 27 international programmers from the IN SITU network gathered in Prague to select emerging artists working \u2014 or aiming to work \u2014 in public and non-traditional spaces.
The call resulted in the selection of 51 promising projects, which are now taking part in a training programme that combines online preparation with five immersive, in-person labs held in France, Italy, Austria, and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Milan-based lab, co-curated by BASE Milano and ZONA K, is embedded in a cultural ecosystem where art, research, and urban activation intersect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive Lab is designed as an intensive, multidisciplinary seminar:

\u2192 A concrete opportunity for artists to learn how to clearly and effectively present their projects through hands-on sessions in pitching and storytelling;

\u2192 Moments of exchange between artists and IN SITU network partners, offering space for sharing experiences, methods, and professional trajectories;

\u2192 Thematic workshops led by Chiara Organtini<\/strong>, Johannes Bellinkx<\/strong>, and Anna Serlenga<\/strong>, created to explore new approaches to artistic creation in public and relational contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Performances and visions in dialogue with the city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Enriching the programme is a curated selection of performances, installations, and artistic visions interwoven with the BASE Milano calendar and the activities of IN SITU partners:
