HYBRID EFFECTS . From Solid Body to Liquid Cities, international exhibition of architecture, design, photography, video-art and performance art, hosted in Milan, in the prestigious and luxurious Palazzo Radetzky, in the heart of Brera Quarter, from the 14 to the 19 of April 2015, in the same period of the renowned international fair “Salone del Mobile”, the most keenly awaited event in the world of furniture.

Architects, designers and urban planners are invited to take part in the festival submitting panels, video-architecture works, photos, installations and scale models, projects and visions about contemporary desertification of the real cities and repopulation of the digital world. They are invited to analyze the evolution of the liquid architecture and the integration between reality and virtual world/technologies; the relationship between architecture and the new virtual no-places, and the possible future results. Selection will be made by It’s LIQUID, VALORIZZAZIONI CULTURALI and ART-EVENTS.

Artists, photographers and video makers are invited to submit photos, art videos and performance art pieces, which represent and analyze the current evolution of the physical body inside the liquid reality of the virtual world; its transformation from a concrete state to a “liquid” extension. Artworks will investigate the relationship between real cities and virtual places, and how the man lives this dualism and the disaggregation of the physical identities. Selection will be made by It’s LIQUID, International ArtExpo and ART-EVENTS.

To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video-art), links of videos/performances, pictures of artworks and architecture/design projects via e-mail to lucacurci@lucacurci.com.

Luxury, prestige, and comfort are the features of Palazzo Radetzky. The accurate and skilful renovation work that is still underway, will permit to transform the ground floor of the Palace in a private gallery with an exclusive courtyard located in the heart of Brera Quarter, in a unique position of Milano city centre. Equipped with all services and facilities. Designed in the second decade of the Nineteenth century by renowned architect Pietro Pestagalli and built close to the Sforzesco Castle, this palace strikes at the first glance because of its extraordinarily elegant façade in late neo-classical style with decorations and precious external finishes.

The Salone del Mobile is the global benchmark for the Home Furnishing Sector. An invaluable tool for the industry as well as an ongoing, quite extraordinary promotional vehicle. After the success of the 2014 edition – attended by 311,781 trade operators – 205,464 of whom from foreign Countries; over 39,000 members of the general public and 6,276 communication operators – the Salone Internazionale del Mobile is reconfirmed as the acknowledged exclusive showcase for the latest in furnishing, with a vast range of top quality products in every conceivable style.
