About the International Summer School

International Art and Creativity Summer School "Constantin Brancusi" is part of a concept that aims at organizing sculpture camps in Hobita, where the sculptor was born, and in two other locations: Italy and Serbia. Through this program we can actively spend the 10 days of camp during which they can discover and practice and crafts Oltenian or can visit various tourist attractions in the county. Over the 10 days we offer accommodation and food services and creative activities and information the sculpture of Brancusi. Besides thematic workshops conducted during the 10 days in the program organizers will include various recreational activities for participants.

Modern sculpture is generally considered to have begun with the work of Auguste Rodin, who is seen as the progenitor of modern sculpture. While Rodin did not set out to rebel against the past, he created a new way of building his works; paving the way to the future. "Rodin dissolved the hard outline of contemporary Neo-Greek academicism, and thereby created a vital synthesis of opacity and transparency, volume and void." Along with a few other artists in the late 19th century who experimented with new artistic visions in sculpture like Edgar Degas, and Paul Gauguin, Rodin invented a radical new approach in the creation of sculpture. Modern sculpture along with all modern art, "arose as part of Western society's attempt to come to terms with the urban, industrial and secular society that emerged during the nineteenth century".

Modernist sculpture movements include Art Nouveau, Cubism, Geometric abstraction, De Stijl, Suprematism, Constructivism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Futurism, Formalism Abstract expressionism, Pop-Art, Minimalism, Postminimalism, Land art, Conceptual art, and Installation art among others.

We recomend you to visit the page of Vincenzo Bianchi and view his works.

Poetry (from the Greek poiesis with a broad meaning of a "making", seen also in such terms as "hemopoiesis"; more narrowly, the making of poetry) is a form of literary art which uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language - such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre-to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning.

Some poetry types are specific to particular cultures and genres and respond to characteristics of the language in which the poet writes. Readers accustomed to identifying poetry with Dante, Goethe, Mickiewicz and Rumi may think of it as written in lines based on rhyme and regular meter; there are, however, traditions, such as Biblical poetry, that use other means to create rhythm and euphony. Much modern poetry reflects a critique of poetic tradition, playing with and testing, among other things, the principle of euphony itself, sometimes altogether forgoing rhyme or set rhythm. In today's increasingly globalized world, poets often adapt forms, styles and techniques from diverse cultures and languages.

The evenings will be filled with short prose and poetry recited by Vincenzo Bianchi and Cristian George Brebenel.

BIOGRAPHY
It is not easy to introduce Vincenzo Bianchi because of his versatile activity that touches all visual arts, from painting to sculpture, from graphics to video-art and graphic techniques; any plastic, material and materialising means is congenial to him and now he takes us by surprise with the use of the laser beam. He has been the first to test it not only on traditional materials, such as marble, iron, etc, but even on slabs and tablets, as it were a burin, creating ipso facto either the very thin incision of the etching or the heavier and thicker mark of the poker-work.
Bianchi's most important works of art are dedicated to a theme that has always fascinated mankind: peace and brotherhood among peoples.
Bianchi is the author of the monument to Europe "The new lcarus", whose message for a united Europe was perfectly stressed by the President of the European Parliament Henry Plumb, on the occasion of his visit to receive this work of art in Frosinone.
The President of the European Parliament Henry Plumb wrote: "Your name, Mr Bianchi, will be linked forever to that group of wise men who dared to launch the courageous message for a united Europe when it was still divided and lived on the memory of wounds and blood. I congratulate you on your sculptural work of art that seems to cover the space of a boundless future."
