THE AIM OF THE CALL

The Open Call aims to conceive and realise new artist merchandising for Fondazione Italia Patria della Bellezza, through the process of personalising an everyday object.

The consumer object becomes a blank canvas on which each artist can work freely, transforming it into a unique piece, the result of personal research and experimentation. The selected projects will be displayed in a pop-up exhibition-event and will become part of a limited edition collection, sold to support the Foundation's philanthropic aims.

The Open Call is addressed to all national and international artists with the aim of enhancing the relationship between aesthetics and function, serial production and uniqueness of creative thought, in order to put art back at the centre. The theme of the Open Call is Italian identity, which for Fondazione is beauty.

 

Beauty is not always conventional and concerns the sphere of ethics, even before aesthetics. Beauty belongs to possibility, to the imagination, beauty happens because it is in the making, moved by ingenuity, ignited by creativity, born of talent; it is linked to the land, to the territory from which it draws its sap, it pours out onto the community, it grows thanks to care, dedication and becomes inspiration for the future. Beauty is madness, because it is the unexpected glimpse, the all-Italian ability to see beyond the track.
