From 23rd November till 14th December 2008, the cultural association MoCA and Arte Laguna present at the Venetian Art Galleries “InParadiso”, Biennale Gardens, the 30 finalists art pieces of the 3rd International Art Prize Arte Laguna – photographic art section.
The exposition, cured by Carlo Sala (President of the Jury) will not face particular themes nor exclude any creative or cultural proposal. Nine the represented nationalities: Argentina, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, United States, Switzerland.
“We are living in a post-dogmatic cultural climate, in which the great artistic oppositions are came to an end. Contemporary art is more and more hybrid and exchanges in photography-conception are frequent.” With these words, the curator prefaces the exhibition, where it will be possible to observe authors linked to architecture-photography confront themselves with others that conceive photography as a documentary mean; but also authors linked to realistic-photography to oppose themselves to others that recreate artificial realities. Visitors could also appreciate conceptual-photographies side by side to images dominated by objectivism and by a direct perception.
The exposition will give a general vision of the international photographic panorama, without any critical constraints or prejudices. This choice is consequent to the conviction of the Jury that research in the photographic field should have a strong cognition of its time. “Photography is a consequence of many social instances that become essential, as they reflect an esthetic sense of the present. It is not possible to think of a discipline that acts detached from its contest. Any production of the present culture is inseparably linked to historical, social, philosophical, anthropological and artistic factors, to which not even photography can escape from.” (Carlo Sala)
The opening will take place Sunday, 23rd November 2008 at 5PM at the Venetian Art Galleries “InParadiso”, Biennale Gardens.
