What is Quarantine?
Quarantine is a collective of artists, art lovers, open-minded humans. At our events you will find masterclasses, workshops, bootcamps, mentorships, networking… and wine.
Quarantine was born with the commitment to offer what the academic education, due to its own nature and purpose, cannot provide: progress as artists, not as art students.
How we do that?
We do not sell solutions to people. We help them find their own way unlocking their creative potential and to prevent them from the siren songs that they will find along the way. We propose a search for knowledge through questioning, experience, and the genuine exchange of ideas.
We turn this Lazaretto into an Art Wonderland, a promised land, for artists. A shelter where connecting with authenticity is still possible.
Smartphones are prohibited
Seriously no exception. What happens on the island remains on the island. If you don’t feel ready for this, you better not enrolling in this experience.
Lazaretto is a 100% bullshit free island: no social media, no hashtags, no selfies. This is real. You’re going to use your brain here, not your phone. Free your attention. Really unplug. Connect with what is here and now.
You don’t know it yet, but you’ll thank us for this.
Lazaretto state of mind
Philosophy
We don’t have the recipe for making talent, nor do we have a map of the terrain that we step on. But we sense the needle of a compass. We like compasses, not maps; we love time, not clocks; we connect with experience, not with lessons.
This is what we have learned:
I. Every solution is false
II. Wet artists are not afraid of rain
III. More information is less knowledge
IV. To learn is to disappoint your prejudices
V. Avoiding chaos makes chaos
VI. «Hey teachers, leave those kids alone»
