Lubica Biennale Lucca Italy (Deadline Sept 30, 2023)

ITALY

The Call is addressed to artists from all over the world who wish to make their voice heard through the use of paper and cardboard. The Biennale aims to provide the grounds for a creative, constructive and ongoing debate among the artist who decide to push their limits, to break the mold and put forth new points of view whilst educating people to beauty. The goal of the competition is to select artworks that involve the use of paper and by-products and enhance the bold, original and innovative use of this material. 2024 Theme: “Here and Now: Tomorrow." Nowadays, nothing seems to last and people often seem to act only in the here and now, without considering the consequences of their actions, as if they faced no tomorrow.

Art, on the other hand, has always had its eyes set on tomorrow, and on the human mind’s countless opportunities to travel beyond itself, searching for new worlds to build, imagine and discover. At the same time, knowing how to live in the present – the here and now – is crucial in existence. The outside world, society, obligations, as well as social media are constantly calling for attention away from the here and now, distracting us from the present moment, postponing it to a later time, tomorrow, maybe.
