COSE COSMICHE

Cose Cosmiche is a research platform, a space of production and collision of ideas where artists, scientists and researchers from different fields are invited to present their most recent researches.

Cose Cosmiche was founded in 2011 by Helga Franza and Silvia Hell.

The arts and the sciences have used the concepts of space, time, energy, matter, void to define the universe we live in, always proposing new shapes, ideas and theories to represent and explain it. How big is the influence of the different ways of perception/observation, calculation/measurement and imagination? What does a scientist observe about space, and what, in turn, the artist, the musician or the boxer?

From 2011 more than 60 artists, musicians, astrophysicists, particle physicists, philosophers, experts in geopolitics and researchers from various disciplines have been involved to find possible answer through workshops, talk and exhibitions.

In 2015 Cose Cosmiche started les sublimes archive , a digital archive collecting notebooks from artists, philosophers, scientists and researchers from different fields. In the same year Conferenza Passeggiando was born, it’s a collective action, a project that aims at drawing path-conferences inviting researchers from different fields to speak, and expose themselves, while walking.
Since 2017 they have been organizing the Senseless Residency program at the Arthur Cravan Foundation in Milan, and since 2022 they have started the Hypersenseless Residency program.
In 2022 Cose Cosmiche gives birth to Volcanic Attitude, a festival of contemporary culture, between Naples and the Aeolian Islands.
