BC 3rd Edition
September 03 - 23, 2021
Barcelona, Spain | September 03 - 23, 2021 BARCELONA CONTEMPORARY, organized by ITSLIQUID Group, will be held in Barcelona, at Valid World Hall Gallery from September 03 to September 23, 2021.
BARCELONA CONTEMPORARY is a contemporary art fair that presents collective and solo projects by leading and emerging international artists. The second edition has been a success with more than 70 artists on stage, now everything is ready for the 3rd edition which will represent a forum for direct exchange of ideas and contacts between collectors, artists, photographers, designers and art professionals. The art fair features paintings, sculptures, photography art, installations, video art and live performance.
BARCELONA CONTEMPORARY 2021 analyzes the relationship between body and space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contemporary time, through two main sections:
MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES. MIXING IDENTITIES analyzes the hidden parts of our identities, through an immersive experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness. The human body is 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.
FUTURE LANDSCAPES are abstract, infinite and conceptual, associated with a sense of freedom and infinite extension. Primarily experienced with the mind, spaces redefining their limits and borders, transforming surfaces in an open flow of pure ideas. This section focuses on the concept of the borders and the structures between body, mind and soul, the human identity and the city, the space and the ground.

The third edition of BARCELONA CONTEMPORARY will have as its "fil rouge" the concept of identity that is often found in the old traditions to which the human race, willing or unwilling, is linked. A sort of osmosis between what is the territory of origin and the personality that makes each individual unique and unrepeatable. An emotional climax binds the different works of the different artists presented in this edition, where the colors, the lights and the techniques used are the masters.

BORDERS ART FAIR 03.09.2020 - 2.10.2020 | FRAGMENTED IDENTITIES
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with Venice Events and ACIT Venice Italian-German Cultural Association, is proud to announce FRAGMENTED IDENTITIES, second appointment of BORDERS Art Fair 2020 that will be held in Venice at THE ROOM Contemporary Art Space and at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, from September 03 to October 02, 2020. The festival focuses on the concept of “borders”, between the soul and the body, the human being and the city, the city and the ground. The festival analyzes the idea of human and urban borders, how people live them and how they are modified in contemporary society. Every human being lives in a world in which the limits, the borders, shape their attitudes and behaviors, limiting the freedom and creating a sense of alienation. The human being reacts breaking the limits and finding a new way of life. We imagine a world of “liquid cities”, where differences create new possibilities instead of being social barriers. Human identities are both separated and related one to another into a big mosaic that complete the existence and the world culture. All the identities can be considered as fragmented pieces of human being, ready to be unique and shareable in a universe with physical limits. In art people are mixed together in a melting pot of sensation and fluctuating emotions. The challenge is to see all those fragmented identities, recognize and use them to see things through many different points of view and imagination in order to broke all barriers and boundaries of every day’s life and to create the relationship between man and space, including man-built and natural spaces. There is not a unique perspective on our unconscious beings and identities, showing how things are rarely whole or perfect.
During the opening, on the occasion of the Venice Film Festival, the film and theatre director Paolo De Falco will have a talk about his artistic work in Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello.
