CALL FOR ARTISTS: ANIMA MUNDI FESTIVAL 2019 – CONSCIOUSNESS

ITSLIQUID Group is pleased to announce the open call for the exhibition CONSCIOUSNESS, second appointment of ANIMA MUNDI 2019 – ITSLIQUID International Art Festival.

The festival will focus on the concept of ANIMA MUNDI, which according to several historical cultures, religions and philosophical systems, is an intrinsic connection between all living entities on the planet, that relate to the world in a similar way as the human soul is connected to the human body. Plato expressed his thought about the ANIMA MUNDI in the Timaeus, “this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence… a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related.”

ANIMA MUNDI is the unseen energy behind all of the natural and the artificial elements that allow the planet to live. Thanks to the hidden connections of ANIMA MUNDI, all the ecosystems of the Earth, before and after the appearance of mankind, found their equilibrium, their ways to live and to develop themselves, to transform and to evolve. All beings of the planet, animals, plants, minerals are permeated by a secret force that has always stimulated human thought and research.

Participation in the festival includes:

• exhibition space dedicated to the artist’s works
• assisting with customs formalities, international shipping, and local transport
• assisting in finding accommodation for the artist
• the design and the printing of invitation cards, posters
• the global and local press office, publicity, press, banners, totem, etc.
