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 whole city of Bari will be involved in
this great exhibition, hosting international artists and
artworks, collateral art events, conferences and
summits.
At the end of the event Marilena
Bonomo, the gallery Director of Bonomo Gallery,
will award one of the artist with the
participation in one of the International
Exhibition organized by International ArtExpo and
offered by It’s Liquid Group and 3 art
residences at Palazzo Calò Carducci in Bari,
Tenuta Pinto in Mola di Bari (Bari) and Palazzo Siena in
Minervino di Lecce (Lecce).
The Castello
Svevo (Swabian Castle) was built around 1132
by Norman King Roger II. The Castle is surrounded by a moat
on all sides, except the northern section, which was
bordering the sea and can be accessed from the bridge and
the gate on the southern side. It is mainly composed of the
Aragon walls and the main Swabian tower, and is currently
used for exhibitions.
Sala Murat
is a cultural space of 400 square meters located in
Ferrarese Square, in the centre of Bari. It’s dedicated to
art and contemporary exhibition, workshops and conferences.
Inside the space it’s permanently exhibited a wall drawing
by the famous minimalist artist Sol LeWitt.
Santa Teresa dei Maschi was built
between 1690 and 1696 as reported in the tympanum of the
front lunette. The interior has a Greek cross with arms
covered with barrel vaults and the central square covered by
a pointed arch dome. Inside can be admired paintings by
Andrea Miglionico and some ancient sculptures of the
mysteries of the Passion of the Christ from the church of
Vallisa. The cloister is the seat of the Provincial Library
for Culture and Arts "De Gemmis", given in 1952 by Baron de
Gennaro Gemmis.
