Call for Artists: Crossing Identities - Mexico

Call for Artists: Crossing Identities - Mexico Deadline: November 15, 2011 International ArtExpo is selecting all interesting video/short.films and photo works to include in the next 2011 Exhibition:   Crossing Identities - International Videoart Festival and Photo Exhibition at Terraza Bugambilias in Morelia, Mexico (December 02 - 04, 2011)   The deadline for applications is November 15, 2011.   The selections will be based on the main concept of “Crossing Identities”. In contemporary society boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity, what makes every person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid, multiple, making also the cultural, religious, ethnic borders changeable. This change, thismutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities creating new possible crossings, new blends. And it’s just this “contemporaneity” that makes our civilization conceived as subjected to a process of continuous evolution and cultural hybridization. There is no limit between an identity and the other one any more but it ispossible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity.   The number of works with which you can participate is unlimited. All video works must be on DVD (PAL or NTSC), no matter what the original source medium. The maximum length of videos should be 10 minutes. All photo works on every kind of support are accepted. The maximum dimensions allowed per each image are 150 cm per side. Send your works submissions with a CV/biography, videography and some still images (only for videoartists) and some samples of photo works (only for artists) to: Luca Curci ArchitectsCorso Vittorio Emanuele II, 33 70122 Bari, Italy   The participation in International ArtExpo events requires an entry fee for every artwork submitted and selected in every exhibition. Participation open to: professional artists, architects and designers, associate groups and studios.   International ArtExpo is a not for profit organization that provides a significant forum for cultural dialogue between all artists from different cultures and countries. We depend on the support of you. ArtExpo is grateful to all of the institutions, corporations, and individuals who support our efforts. We work with a number of national and international galleries as well as publishers, museums, curators and writers from all over the world. We help artists through solo and group exhibitions, gallery representation, magazine reviews and advertisements, press releases, internet promotion, as well as various curatorial projects.

Collectors of fine art are given the rare opportunity to acquire and meet arguably one of the most sought after and collected artists of our time. You will find masterpieces from Asencio around the globe; heads of state, Saudi sheiks, movie stars, sports icons and corporate giants have all come to realize the joy of collecting fine works of art created by Asencio. Comparisons are often made to the great masters before him such as Willem de Kooning, Lucien Freud, Gustav Klimt and Pablo Picasso. Asencio’s masterful works of art have indeed plucked at the heart strings of art collectors. Powerful brush strokes charged with dancing light and brilliant hues. His masterful use of the brush and pallet knife, his brilliant juxtaposition of colors, the passionate reds, use of shadow and light, all create tension and expectation. Asencio brings to us the glorious human form, sensual, respectfully rendered, a celebration of the divine creation. As you gaze at his masterful works, you are transported to a place where the world is as it should be..... Filled with color, beauty and warmth. This is Asencio’s world, and he invites you to be part of it! —
