Activities

From 2000 to 2011, Xing organized in Bologna the festivals Netmage - International Live Media Festival, dedicated to electronic art and live media, and F.I.S.Co Festival Internazionale sullo Spettacolo Contemporaneo, dedicated to performing arts. Since 2012, the two festivals merged in the project Live Arts Week, an annual event dedicated to live arts, taking place in different locations in the city for ten editions (2012-2021).[6] In 2021 Xing launched a vinyl-only record label of works by both Italian and international personalities linked to live performativity, entitled Xong. Since 2003, Xing has been curating a continuous programme in its space in Bologna, Raum [7] and in Milan, Lima (active 2003-2006).
