Synergies and creativeness. Artistic intuition and contamination. The eleventh edition of OPEN, the International Exhibition of Sculptures and Installations, returns from 27 August to 28 September 2008 with an artistic panorama filled with suggestions, unprecedented expressive developments and new forms of collaboration. More than forty works including sculptures, painting and environmental installations with video and sound effects await the spectator in a whirlwind of sensations ranging from irony to disgust, from provocation to commotion, from refinement to excess. A journey through the contradictory world of contemporary art, where the multiplicity of languages, from digital to the most traditional painting tradition, is expressed with a game of harmonies and counterpoint in an open-air circuit that embraces space, the work and the onlooker.
