Call for Artists: BorderBody - Mixing Identities, Italy / SpainInternational video-art, photography, installation and performing art festival
1st Deadline: January 08, 2014 2nd Deadline: January 20, 2014
International ArtExpo is selecting all interesting photo works, video/short films, installations and performing art works to include in the next 2014 exhibitions:
“BorderBody - Mixing Identities” international art festival of photography, video art, installation and performing art which will be held in Almeria (Spain), at MECA Mediterráneo Centro Artístico, during the 7 and the 21 of February 2014(video screening only), and in prestigious Palazzo Barone Ferrara in Bari (Italy), from the 13 to the 21 of February 2014.
“BorderBody” exhibitions cycle is conceived as a diffused and nomadic festival in different places of the world. “Mixing Identities”, the second chapter of this 3-event cycle, is focused on the hybridization of social identities. In contemporary societies boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity, that makes each person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid and multiple. Cultural, religious, ethnic borders become changeable too. This change, this mutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities, creating new possible crossings, new blends. There is no more limit between an identity and the other one but it is possible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity.
The event is open to photography, video art, installation and performing art. Exhibition at MECA (Spain) is open to video art only.
Palazzo Barone Ferrara is a magnificent historic building of XIX century, symbol of importance and progress of the city. Located in the centre of Bari, is the headquarters and exhibition space of Banca Apulia bank.
MECA Mediterráneo Centro Artístico, is one of the contemporary art galleries more active and consolidated in Spain.

Carrie Marill - Domesticated
Above: Carrie Marill, Am I Growing or Shrinking from This?, 2014, acrylic on linen, 38" x 44"
Exhibition Dates: April 3rd - May 17th, 2014
Opening Reception with Carrie Marill
Thursday, April 3rd, 2014 from 7- 9pm
Lisa Sette Gallery is pleased to present new works by Carrie Marill, a contemporary painter whose graphic acuity is matched by her unflinching aesthetic curiosity. In a new body of work Domesticated, Marill aims her precise visual methodology toward hidden-away scenes of home and family life, transforming these tableaux into moments of pictorial intensity and formal investigation.
An avid observer of visual arrangements of all kinds, Marill’s work has drawn from a vast range of influences and traditions, from handmade quilts to suburban streetscapes. Throughout her diverse series threads a vivid and wryly confrontational aesthetic: Marill’s complete command of pattern and pigment and tendency to direct us toward stark compositional geometries is both unsettling and exhilarating.
Commenting on Domesticated, Marill remarks, “I notice that there’s not enough work out there that addresses domesticity; it’s considered a negative quality for a woman artist to talk about those things. So I decided to go there.”
In past work, Marill has been unafraid to take on a range of art-world cultural taboos, examining all manner of graphic experience, from kitsch to propaganda to the paradoxical prerogatives of high and low art. Marill acknowledges that her work is often a process of working through questions or issues graphically, with the severe and concentrated quality of her markmaking instigating further conceptual inquiry. “As an artist this is my visual way of processing the information I encounter. I don’t know the answers until the very end. Or sometimes even the questions.”
Several of Marill’s recent paintings began as odes to the Italian painter Giorgio Morandi, who spent a career portraying ceramic vessels in serene, focused still-lifes. In the process of arranging still lifes in her own studio, Marill realized her own life had become more complicated: “The Morandis were so still and quiet, and my life is not like that; it’s become messy and absurd. “I was on the Morandi expressway and got off on Guston,” quips Marill, referencing the loose, cartoony style of neo-expressionist Philip Guston.
Yet Marill’s graphic inquisitiveness and discipline still reigns supreme. It can be seen, thrillingly, in the organized riot of Am I Growing or Shrinking From This?, an image the artists describes as “stacks of laundry. Literally, folded stacks of laundry… There are a lot of beautiful patterns in that.”
Lisa Sette Gallery maintains a very active exhibition schedule, mounting approximately 10 exhibitions a year ranging in theme and genre. For nearly 30 years, the gallery has been committed to showcasing a range of contemporary photography, sculpture, painting, installation and performance art.
