Production and organization of exhibition events in Puglia

Starting from 2017 ApuliaAste has created Apulia Eventi, a space dedicated to the production and organization of exhibition events in partnership with public bodies, foundations and museums. Having collaborated for over 20 years with Opera Arte e Arti in the creation of exclusive institutional exhibitions, Apulia Eventi boasts the opportunity to participate in national and European calls.


Special attention is paid to the creation of Modern and Contemporary Art exhibitions. The partnership with the Tree Life company currently in place will also lead to the presentation of innovative multimedia projects, always linked to art as well as to demo-ethno-anthropological paths.

For the scientific aspect, the team makes use of prestigious collaborations with art historians and university departments.

RenovArt - be yourself, Be Contemporary

X° event: February 10-28, 2024

Opening ceremony: February 08, 2024



MATERA

Cultural venue Lega Navale Italiana Sezione di Matera – Magna Grecia

(Via Fiorentini, 103-107)

ApuliaAste, in collaboration with Association MaterAcqua, is glad to announce the collective exhibition Be Yourself – Be Contemporary, curated by Art Historian Dr. Carmela Loiacono, that will be held at cultural venue Lega Navale in Matera, from February 10 to 28, 2024.


The exhibition aims to explore the creativity understood as an infinite space of emotions and feelings, manifested through signs, shapes and colors, generating works that communicate the expression of the human soul.
The creative act is free, pure, subjective, dictated by the knowledge, impulses, fears and desires of each artist, who is invited to reflect on the human condition in relation to the contemporary society.


The collective exhibition Be Yourself - Be Contemporary is part of RenovArt | 100 Artists for the Future, curatorial project dedicated to the best international artistic talents, that stems from the strong need for a new rebirth in the field of art, as a sign of renewal, development and incentive for international artists to develop and increase their artistic skills for the knowledge of Contemporary Art.

The color has always played a fundamental role since ancient times and it's a tangible testimony in art and especially in the psychology of each human being.

“In all things of nature there is something wonderful". Aristotle
The nature
is a source of inspiration for artists and it provides some elements that allow the reflection on what surrounds the human being and coexists with his physical and mental presence. Therefore, the knowledge of nature leads to the exploration of new worlds and new realities that sublimate the individual to a higher level of existence.
Shapes of Nature aims to create a new link between art and nature, from which each artist could be able to sublimate himself and express his being in a free and unconditional way.
Shapes of Nature is part of RenovArt | 100 Artists for the Future, curatorial project dedicated to the best international artistic talents, that stems from the strong need for a new rebirth in the field of art, as a sign of renewal, development and incentive for international artists to develop and increase their artistic skills for the knowledge of Contemporary Art.

“Everything flows. We are always identical to ourselves but at the same time we are constantly changing”. Being is a process in continuous evolution, like a river that apparently remains identical but is subject to time: it's renewed and transformed. Artists are invited to reflect on themselves and their life experiences, trying to understand how their lives change and evolve in relation to their dreams, desires and determination.
Panta Rhei is part of RenovArt | 100 Artists for the Future, curatorial project dedicated to the best international artistic talents, that stems from the strong need for a new rebirth in the field of art, as a sign of renewal, development and incentive for international artists to develop and increase their artistic skills for the knowledge of Contemporary Art.

11° event of RenovArt | 100 Artists for the Future


MATERA | May 16 - June 05, 2024

Lega Navale Italiana Sezione di Matera – Magna Grecia (Via Fiorentini, 103-107)

The collective exhibition (IM)POSSIBLE ELEMENTS offers a reflection on the four elements of nature that compose reality: air, fire, water, and earth, which have always been a source of inspiration for artists, thinkers, and poets of all eras.
In Contemporary Art, the four elements are represented in both figurative and abstract works, in performance and Arte Povera, from conceptual to hyperrealistic artists, revaluing the primordial dimension and evocative-symbolic characteristic.
Therefore, the collective exhibition is an invitation to explore the balance of life's contrasts, as a journey to research harmony in a world full of cultural and social differences.


STAY TUNED FOR THE UPDATE!
