Under my skin
Call for Artist: Submission for the ISBN Catalogue
Under My Skin is a call for publishing open to artists of all ages, genders and nationalities, and to all art forms, including painting, sculpture, video, installation, performance, digital art, photography. The project aims to select 60 artists whose works explore, through contemporary practices, that deep and impalpable motion that moves "under the skin" and starts the creative process.
This need, whether pure or circumstantial, represents the intimate core of an artistic reflection that transforms into sign, form and narration. Through the language of visual arts, the publication intends to investigate the places, times and emotions that inhabit this interior and invisible space. The selected artists will be included in a critical publication, accompanied by a critical text created in collaboration with emerging curators, and equipped with an ISBN code. The catalog will be available on digital platforms one month after the call closes.
