Evaluation Criteria

CONTEMPORARY VENICE explores the evolving relationship between the body and the spaces we inhabit, reflecting on how identities are shaped, transformed, and hybridised within today's cultural, physical, social, and urban environments. The exhibition unfolds through two curated sections: MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.

MIXING IDENTITIES investigates the inner dimensions of identity through immersive artistic experiences, navigating the layered and often hidden territories of consciousness. The body emerges as a dynamic and relational system, continuously interacting with other bodies and spaces, generating meaning through movement, perception, and expression.

FUTURE LANDSCAPES opens onto mental and conceptual spaces where boundaries dissolve, and imagination expands. Here, landscapes become fluid constructions of thought, redefining limits between body, mind, soul, and environment, and transforming space into an open field of ideas and possibilities.

We invite artists to explore, through their artistic research, the evolving relationship between the body and human experience, reflecting on how new identities emerge and transform within today's cultural and spatial landscapes.
