VENICE ART HOUSE – BORDERS & DISORDERS is the first event of a series, created through the partnership between It’s LIQUID Group and International ArtExpo with Ca’ Zanardi and Venice Art House. It aims to present contemporary artists in the heart of the city of Venice, in a new venue, Venice Art House gallery, located few minutes from Ponte di Rialto and Santa Lucia station.

VENICE ART HOUSE – BORDERS & DISORDERS will be focused on the concept of “borders”, on how people feel the idea of borders and how this idea is linked with the concept of freedom. Borders, conceived as personal, geographical and cultural ones, can define our idea of freedom in contemporary society, or they can be considered as an obstacle to freedom which need to be broken by a single person or a social/political/cultural group to reach his/her personal freedom (current events in our world are an example of it). The event will also analyze the idea of urban and cities’ borders, how people live them, how they are modified in contemporary metropolis.
