N.EST Napoliest
Art, public space, urban transformation
N.EST is a think-tank for art and architecture that developed from an online project and has since come to include exhibitions, lectures, performance, urban activism, design and architecture. The online project, started and still financed by its members, consists of a grid, a bilingual database and a search engine but N.EST’s core nucleus is an emotional map of Eastern Naples, which depicts the topography of five districts - the streets, warehouses and industrial spaces of the city’s poorest neighbourhoods – as well as the critical issues and potential developments that affect them.
With its site-specific web TV (N.ESTube), content randomizer (N.EST TV) and blog, the whole online platform is open to anyone who wishes to contribute. N.EST asks artists and citizens active in any discipline or profession to join it in trying to create a city from the bottom up: a grass-roots city.
As part of its mission to use art, design and architecture to improve urban conditions in former industrial areas, the N.EST web-site hosts digital artwork about Naples East by over 50 independent artists. N.EST also initiates shows and urban events, performance and lectures.
Artists, architects and designers are invited to join N.EST by responding at any time to our Call for Entries. For details of how to submit proposals or artworks, please see: www.napoliest.it.
All the artworks are freely viewable at www.napoliest.it.
N.EST is backed by the funds and commitment of its members, who work and live in Naples.
N.EST is always searching for brilliant partners.
