The word “canvas” was used for the first time in Italy in the 14th century, and it has become the most common support medium for oil painting, replacing wooden panels. Over the centuries, the canvas’ meaning has changed, starting from paintings, through photographic and cinematographic film, exploring the human body, to the digital world. Canvas is the creatives’ common ground, on which they can express themselves.
VISIONS aims to explore all the different facets of the social, physical and cultural identities of our contemporary society. Every day we deal with a multitude of different identities and roles: we face public life creating and adapting our social identities, our body and aesthetic tastes modify and are modified by our physical and sexual identities, our whole being evolves as well as contemporary cultures and modern cities do in order to create new compound and exchange possibilities for new “liquid identities” in “liquid cities“.
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.

SOME OF OUR LAST EXHIBITIONS
Lavinia De Rothschild, France/Germany
“There was a quiet generosity in the way this event was organized – nothing felt forced or overly polished. Instead, it felt human, intentional, and deeply respectful of each artist’s voice. The space allowed for stillness and sincerity, which is rare in a world that often rushes past both. Luca Curci, as director, holds the kind of presence that reminds you why art exists at all. He carries both vision and kindness – a rare balance. In his hands, this event became more than just an exhibition. It became a statement: art still matters, and that meaning still belongs in the room. And that makes all the difference.“

“I am so grateful for the Open Call format ITSLIQUID is able to offer for international artists. We as young artists often lack a platform to share our craft and thoughts, and ITSLIQUID has provided us with the visibility and the platform to share.“
