Call for artists: PERSONAL TALES – Humans + Hybrids
It’s LIQUID International Art Show
Deadline: May 20, 2015

It’s LIQUID Group, in collaboration with International ArtExpo, is selecting all interesting photo works, experimental video-art works, paintings, installations and performance art works to include in the next 2015 exhibition:

PERSONAL TALES – Humans + Hybrids, international art exhibition of photography, video art, installation, painting and performance art, that will be hosted in Venice, at Palazzo Ca’ Zanardi and Venice Art House, from the 03rd to the 13th of June 2015.

PERSONAL TALES – Humans + Hybrids is part of SELF festival, organized in Venice atPalazzo Ca’ Zanardi and Venice Art House, from the opening day of Venice Art Biennale (May 09, 2015), with a rich program of different events until November 2015. For the first time in Venice we will give audience the possibility to have private meetings with artists, to meet them personally and share their art and experience. Each event will have a strong program of video art screenings and premiers, art residencies, talks, workshops, live dj set, live experimental dance and art performances.

After many years of research and exhibitions about the evolution of the idea of identity, we ask artists to share their personal tales through artworks; to create a link between the personal experience and the audience; to tell us which are the stories and reasons beneath their works.

The festival SELF is organized and curated by Luca Curci (director of It’s LIQUID and International ArtExpo) and Andrea Chinellato (director of Ca’ Zanardi and Venice Art House), and supported by Comune di Venezia and Provincia di Venezia.

PERSONAL TALES – Humans + Hybrids explores the stories which lay beneath artworks. Which fragments of personal experience artists decide to share? How the use of art as means of expression, contaminates the message they share? Artworks create a link between artists’ personal experience and the audience; and at the same time contaminate and enrich the private tales they decide to talk.

Each event of SELF festival will present an exclusive selection of artworks, video screening program, intense live performances, with its own dedicated opening ceremony and PR campaign. At the end of the whole exhibition cycle there will be the publication of acatalogue.

Selection is open to video art, photography, painting, sculpture/installation, art performance and experimental dance.

To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video-art), links of videos/films/performances and pictures of artworks via e-mail to lucacurci@lucacurci.comor via mail to:
