SOME OF OUR LAST EXHIBITIONS

Urim Hong, Republic of Korea
“I think very highly of ITSLIQUID since one can communicate actively in the areas of art, architecture, design, fashion, etc. under one single platform. I especially like how it approaches today’s lifestyles artistically with the support of various artists. I was deeply touched by the foresight of this event: how it selected and organized the works of artists all around the world without limiting the breadth of art-from modern art to documentary. I definitely look forward to the upcoming exhibition.“

Thelma Pott, Portugal
“I appreciate the fact that it works with multidisciplinary artists, it’s based in important European cities and it connects art professionals worldwide. I consider the choice of venue for this exhibition truly wonderful. The press preview was appealing and the opening night clearly mirrors the work of an incredibly organised team. I would definitely suggest a collaboration with Itsliquid because your producers and curators work internationally, support the artists in the whole process of the exhibition’s planning and are open to discussing different proposals for the artistic projects.“
