Immersed in the green of the Piedmontese countryside, in Agrate Conturbia - a small town of 1,500 inhabitants 30 km from Novara - the recovered spaces of an ancient farmhouse have been transformed into a place dedicated to artistic expression and artists. A place with multiple souls, CASCINA I.D.E.A. consists of large exhibition spaces in domestic and non-domestic environments, a residence for artists and a sculpture park: a mosaic of environments designed with the sole aim of offering artists the opportunity to experiment in total freedom. Cascina Maria, an artist residence born in 2017 and recently concluded, which in a former rural residence hosted artists of the caliber of Igshaan Adams, Francesco Arena, Riccardo Beretta, Christiane Löhr and Eva Kot'átková. Cascina I.D.E.A. it was born therefore as its evolution, as an opportunity for pure experimentation, in the desire to dissolve the boundaries between disciplines and to host experiments in environmental art. Rural spaces want to bring back artists en plein air, offering a valid alternative to hangars or white cubes, because today more than ever a rediscovered relationship with nature can provide new stimuli and give life to shapes with new meanings.
