FinishedInternational ArtExpo is selecting all interesting photo works, video/short films, installations and performances to include in the next 2013 Exhibition:
Liquid Borders – International Art Exhibition of Photography, Video Art, Installation and Performing Art held in Bari (Italy) in the prestigious and historical locations of Castello Svevo, Santa Teresa dei Maschi Church and Sala Murat.
The selection will be based on the main concept of the hybridization between physical and social identities in contemporary cities, and the mixing between people and space. Urban environments, people, rules and limits are no more distinct realities, but they constantly modify and get mixed together, generating new connections and hybrid results. Ethic, social, sexual and religious borders get confused and metropolis become a puzzle composed by different cities constantly modified by the man.
The number of works you can submit is unlimited.
Send your works submissions with a CV/biography, videography, some samples of works (only for artists) via email to [email protected]
