CALL FOR ARTISTS
MIXING IDENTITIES – SENSES INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2023
Rome | September 15-28, 2023
Deadline: September 03, 2023

ITSLIQUID Group is pleased to announce the open call for MIXING IDENTITIES, first event of SENSES ART FAIR 2023, international exhibition of photography, painting, video art, installation/sculpture and performance art, which will take place in Rome, at ITSLIQUID Monti – Rome Art Space (click here to learn more about our location) from September 15 to September 28, 2023.

SENSES is an International Art Fair that showcases collective and solo projects by leading and emerging international artists. The 2023 edition will represent a dynamic forum for the direct exchange of ideas and contacts between collectors, artists, photographers, designers and art professionals.

The concept of MIXING IDENTITIES is based on the reconstruction of new identities: their transformation is essential to face the changes of the contemporary world. The process of building ourselves passes through the continuous relations with other people’s identities and the identities of communities, cultures and societies. The event focuses on the human body as a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality, a strong communication system with its own language and infinite ways of expression. We invite artists to analyse the hidden parts of our identities, through an immersive experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness.

Artists, photographers, video makers, and performers are invited to submit their works. To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video art), links to videos/films/performances and pictures via e-mail to director@itsliquid.com or fill out the form below

Starting from paintings, through photography and cinematographic film, exploring the human body and the digital world, the senses are the creatives’ common ground, the core and the essence through which they can express themselves. SENSES ART FAIR is about exploring and experimenting with new hybridizations, and creating new possible worlds while sharing a hub for dialogue, unity, and exchange among artists, architects, designers, critics, public and private institutions, and art enthusiasts.

SENSES ART FAIR offers artists and exhibitors a unique chance to showcase their artwork to a global audience of professionals, including curators, gallery owners, collectors, editors, and publishers who actively seek to acquire, publish, and support the most talented contemporary artists.
