Initiated by the Center Pompidou and IRCAM, this artistic educational project Studios of Creation (Ateliers de la création) has a simple but demanding ambition: to offer students of vocational training schools, far from the world of art and its institutions, a dive at the heart of the most contemporary creation.

In 2018-2019 more than 70 students from vocational high schools in France participated in the project. The workshops were led by two organisations: Grame and Musique Demesurees in collaboration with Ircam and Centre Pompidou

Students in the Class of Commercial Studies programme at the Ella Fitzgerald Vocational College had the opportunity to discover the work of Alessandro Piangiamore during an exhibition of his works at the Halle des Bouchers in Vienne.

Similarly, the student participants had the opportunity to discover the work of Alessandro Piangiamore during an exhibition of his works at the Madeleine-Lambert Gallery of Visual Arts. At the same time, the Halle des Bouchers in Vienne was presenting an exhibition, and hosted a separate creative workshop based upon, works by the same artist. In honour of this double exhibition, the artist produced several works with specific connections to the venues and to local history. After several visits, accompanied by a sound artist and a cultural spokesperson, the students chose Ieri Ikebana 13062018, a work comprising three panels, as the basis of their sound art compositions. In Ieri Ikebana 13062018, the artist incorporated into his triptych petals from ancient local roses mixed with volcanic dust from Mount Etna and leaves from Sicily.
