Arte in maschera - International Expo in Venice

About

The exhibition, curated by Francesca Callipari, historian and art critic, will see the participation of 45 artists from different backgrounds and from 15 countries (Italy, Austria, Switzerland, France, Holland, Germany, Mexico, Japan, Poland, Ukraine , Russia, Romania, Taiwan, Croatia, Norway) who here will have the opportunity to confront each other in a beautiful journey between painting, photography, sculpture and digital art.

As stated by the curator of the event “2022 was an uphill year for everyone, with many difficulties still linked to the pandemic of the previous two years in which especially Art and cultural activities were set aside. In this event we wanted to start 2023 with an exhibition in which to implement a real celebration of talent and Art, in its various forms. This is how we wanted to contaminate the splendid historical location that hosts us with the works of the selected artists, ensuring that they were distributed throughout the space like a great explosion of light, colour, chiaroscuro contrasts and matter with the aim of attract observers and bring them back to having a less fearful relationship with contemporary art. All this is combined with what is a cornerstone of the history of Venice, namely the Carnival and it is no coincidence that we wanted this event to take place precisely in this period of great turmoil for the city. The Venetian Carnival is a real work of art; an important piece of Italian history and culture which has had an international resonance since ancient times and which still today attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world.”
