We are thrilled to announce the launch of our residency program at the Santa Croce Monumental Complex, located in the municipality of Bosco Marengo (AL), Italy. MARES is offering 5 artists and 1 curator the opportunity to explore the history and unique character of the Alessandria territory, providing a free space within the Complex to produce thematic works. This first edition aims to reflect on the connections between the idea of _Ruins_ and contemporary art.

  
With its spacious rooms and restored areas, the site of Santa Croce is the perfect setting for workshops, talks, and the final exhibition, which participants will contribute to in September 2025 with the works realized during the residency. The artists and curator will be encouraged to direct their research on characteristic aspects of the territory and to establish connections with the towns in the province of Alessandria, to understand the social, economic, and geographical configuration of the area.

The residency offers:

  
* Monthly fee and logistical support
* Working space at the Monumental Complex of Santa Croce in Bosco Marengo
* Accommodation for duration of residency at Tenuta La Fiscala, a historic estate in the Fraschetta area
* A group exhibition to be held in September 2025, along with a related publication
* Production fee
