Organization

Atlante Servizi Culturali is a young Cooperative society that has been working for more than four years in the area of cultural services.
In this short time they have gained valuable experience in the conception, management and promotion of projects and in the creation of activities that are designed to promote the historical, cultural and artistic patrimony of the area. They have made our professional capacities available to both private and public organizations for the preparation of important cultural events. They work in the following areas: management of museums and libraries, publicity, tourist information. They also work on the preparation of collateral events for permanent and temporary exhibitions in museums and handle the assistance and security. They produce marketing plans and graphic designs in digital and printed forms, both for the layout of  exhibitions  and the publicity. Recently they have accumulated valuable experience in the creation of digital applications, also for smartphones and tablets. They use these to promote and enhance cultural events.

Project

The objective of Project is to implement an innovative modality to present the art that consists in the realization of 4 exhibitions of Josef Albers artworks with specific modalities to ensure the availability of artworks also for blind and visually impaired people. It is foreseen the reproducing of artworks in tactile models, the realization of sensorial spaces and the provision of electronic devices to facilitate the experience.
The second effect is to offer a different sensorial experience also to seeing people, that will enjoy the artworks not through the eyes anymore as usual, but with the other human senses and consequently, to get a different and innovative experience about art.
Four (?) European Museums and one Institute for blind and visual impaired people from 4 EU Countries will work on a common project addressing as a target group the museums operators and operators of institutes and associations of blind and visually impaired people. The final beneficiaries, further than the target groups directly involved, will be the blind people and the general public.
