AZERI AND ITALIAN ART AND DESIGN CONNECTIONS.

Igor Zanti has been working several years as art critic and curator of 'contemporary art and applied arts projects. Since 2005 he is the curator of Barbara Mahler Gallery in Switzerland. He co-founded and takes part in the Jury of the prestigious Art Prize “Arte Laguna” as well as “I diari della Terra” Photographic Art Prize. He is artistic consultant of several cultural associations, and has been appointed as Artistic Director of Museum Brolo Centre of Art and Culture in Mogliano Veneto (TV) in 2008. He has been cooperating with IED since 2009, firstly as a lecturer and then, 2012, as IED Venezia Director. He is also contributor of various art magazines.

The statement of this lecture is that Italian Design is deeply rooted in entrepreneurialism, especially within production and marketing, other than technical and aesthetic formalism.

Design Education in Italy remains consistent with the Italian way to do business through design.  Entrepreneurship through design as new perspective of design education: learning by starting creative ventures. Essential for contemporary designers is to move among the various spheres of creativity and understand what is happening right now in the world of art, fashion, photography, design, advertising... this makes them more competitive and credible when communicating their design aim.
