Prize calls, Italy, Cuneo, 10 January 2012
With the beginning of 2012 admission to participate in the renewed eleventh edition of ZOOart, the international exhibition of visual arts, is now open. The exhibitions proposed once again by the association Art.ur for the city of Cuneo will take place as usual during the three first weeks of July in the Fresia Gardens, home of the ex-zoo gardens in the heart of the historical part of Cuneo city.
Around 40 young artists, national and international, will be invited to transform the urban gardens with site specific projects including installations, sculpture, painting, photography, drawings, video and performances.
With the hope of recreating a solid relationship between art and nature, this new season intends to proceed
on the path taken during the last exhibition: the exploration of ecology. The exhibition will give special attention to works that deal with this burning topic with efficiency and sensitivity, an issue that is now more
important than ever.
The important new element for this year is the project ZOOart.local, born from the collaboration between the Cassa di Risparmio of Cuneo Foundation, which intends to support the young emerging artists within the Cuneo province and the association Art.ur. The new selection for the exhibition will act as a base for artist that are under 40 born and are residents of or are working within the Cuneo province to give incentive to and re-launch the activities of emerging artists within a territory that intends to sustain new creative expression.
The international spirit of the exhibition is in no way sacrificed but rather continues to be the main aspect of
the entire exhibition creating further dialogue between prestigious national and international art with the resources of the territory where ZOOart takes place.
Deadline: April, 2nd, 2012
