In contemporary societies boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity, that makes each person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid and multiple. Cultural, religious, ethnic borders become changeable too. This change, this mutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities, creating new possible crossings, new blends. There is no more limit between an identity and the other one but it is possible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity.   The event is open to photography, video art, installation and performing art. Exhibition at MECA (Spain) is open to video art only.   Palazzo Barone Ferrara is a magnificent historic building of XIX century, symbol of importance and progress of the city. Located in the centre of Bari, is the headquarters and exhibition space of Banca Apulia bank.   MECA Mediterráneo Centro Artístico, is one of the contemporary art galleries more active and consolidated in Spain.   The 1st deadline session for applications is January 08, 2014   To take part in the selection, send your artworks’ submissions with a CV/biography, videography and some still images (for video-art), pictures of your artworks via email to lucacurci@lucacurci.com or via mail to:   International ArtExpoCorso Vittorio Emanuele II, 33 70122 Bari, Italy   The number of works you can submit is unlimited.
