ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association,
is pleased to announce the opening of the 13th edition of CONTEMPORARY VENICE
2023 which will take place in Venice at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello from December 15, 2023
to January 05, 2024.
CONTEMPORARY VENICE analyzes the relationship between body and space, and the
hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contemporary
times, 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 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 redefine their
limits and borders, transforming surfaces into 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.
Faderera Wahab’s artistic exploration in mixed media aligns seamlessly with the concept
of MIXING IDENTITIES intertwining themes of pattern design, nostalgia, and storytelling in
her vibrant works. Drawing inspiration from her environment, she uses materials like
Ankara and Adire alongside acrylics, oils, and photography to create pieces that reflect her
Yoruba heritage. The fabrics in her works act as a map of her cultural roots, exploring the
duality of their meaning: through her art, Wahab will invite viewers to explore the interplay
between memory, emotion, and the enduring elements of daily life.
Vojtěch Čapek emerged from the vibrant world of graffiti and street art, subsequently
evolving into abstract representation. His current focus lies in the meticulous composition
of colored surfaces, showcasing flawless gradients that aim to stir profound emotions in
the observer. With precision in transitions, Čapek’s paintings exhibit a delicate mastery of
color blends, imbuing his abstractions with a profound sense of fullness. Whether
portraying vivid blue skies, the fiery reflections of a summer sun, or the soft pink hues of
dawn, his works resonate with a captivating intensity. Ambitiously shaping modern visual
culture, Čapek’s art aspires to enhance corporate and residential interiors, pushing the
boundaries of convention in his distinctive and original style.
