"designed by the Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts (IDSVA) and philosopher Giovanbattista Tusa (Visiting Faculty, Independent Study and Dissertation director) for curators, artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners seeking to engage with the living context of the Venice Biennale. Over four days, participants will move through a sequence of philosophical orientations - Rooting, Growing, Branching, and Cultivating Futures- that frame art as a mode of world-disclosure and situated intervention."
"The program begins with a philosophical suspension. Before asking what art does, participants ask how art becomes thinkable at all. The Biennale is encountered not as a collection of works but as a field of situated propositions, entangled with histories of exclusion, authority, and epistemic forces. Day 2 - Growing (with guest curator)The second day turns toward knowledge and interpretation. With an invited curator, the Biennale emerges as an epistemic landscape where regimes of truth coexist, collide, and fracture."
The Biennale Certificate in Philosophy and Art: Seeds of the Future is a four-day advanced certificate offered by IDSVA and philosopher Giovanbattista Tusa for curators, artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners engaging the Venice Biennale. Participants progress through four philosophical orientations—Rooting, Growing, Branching, and Cultivating Futures—that frame art as world-disclosure and situated intervention. The program combines theoretical reflection, embodied experience, and collaborative experimentation across Biennale artworks and events. Day 1 suspends assumptions to examine how art becomes thinkable within epistemic histories; Day 2 focuses on knowledge and interpretation with a guest curator; Day 3 supports independent pavilion study; Day 4 centers futurity with a guest theorist or artist.
