(from 1 to 4 weeks) and to offer them the cooperation of local arti-sans for the production of pottery works and limited edition prints. Furthermore, the artists have at their disposal several ‘canvas’ walls around the city in order to ‘upgrade a few areas which are aes-thetically depressed’. at the end of their stay, when everything is cre-
ated (including new original artworks, screenprints and ceram-ic pieces), a final group show will be organized.

FAME FEST - Refers to the ironic difference in the meaning of the word ‘fame’ between the Italian and English language. In Italian,
‘fame’ means ‘hunger’, while in English it is understood as ‘an honour and status of success’.
‘Fame festival’ is a meeting of a dozen international artists in the small Italian city of Grottaglie. Famous for its ancient ceramics tradition, there is a whole area exclusively dealing with ceramics production. FAME wants to pro-mote a new point of view on the original structure of the city. While local politicians and institu-tions ‘only care about their personal interests’, the organizers would like to re-asset the city’s original context and call for proper recog-nition. The idea is to host a few artists for variable lengths of time
