ARTVISION PROJECT WP5 “ART IN PORT” “COEXISTENCE: FOR A NEW ADRIATIC KOINÈ ’” #04 – Venezia Magazzino del Sale n°3 The launch event of the Venice stage of "ART IN PORT - Coexistence: for a new Adriatic Koine" will take place on December 20th at Magazzino del Sale n. 3 in Venice. It’s the fourth stage of the contemporary art exhibition which is part of the framework of ArTVision Project, a European initiative co-financed by IPA-Adriatic CBC Programme 2007-2013 which involves artists coming from Albania, Croatia, Montenegro and Italy (Veneto and Puglia). The exhibition in Venice comes after the previous stages in the cities of Tirana (Albania), Cetinje (Montenegro), Rijeka (Croatia) and the tour will close at the end of January with the final stage in Polignano a Mare (Puglia). ArTVision-A.LIVE ART CHANNEL Project has the purpose of activating and connecting the creative energy of young artists who are invited to take centre stage. It is an experimental project, led by Puglia Region - Area Policies for the Promotion of Territory, Knowledge and Talent, which involves: Pino Pascali Foundation Museum of Contemporary Art; Veneto Region - Direction of cultural and performance activities; Academy of Fine Arts of Venice; Ministry of Culture of Montenegro; Faculty of Dramatic Arts of Cetinje – Montenegro; Ministry of Culture of Albania; University of Arts of Tirana Albania; Primorje-Gorski Kotar County – Croatia; Kanal RI - Croatia. The core idea is to establish a strict dialogue among cross-border Nations through a set of cultural actions, aimed at finding out commonalities and discontinuities among people sharing the Mare Nostrum of the Adriatic Mediterranean. There are five variations of the exhibition in different locations and territories with the aim of stating the concept of a new linguistic Koinè by translating territorial identities into the dynamics of relationship, open-mindedness and comparison. The artists from different geographical areas, coordinated by a team of curators, headed by the Pino Pascali Museum Foundation, in collaboration with the coordinators of the partner countries, have dealt with such shared topics as stories and narrations, myths and legends, spirituality and religions, migration and nomadism, with the aim of strengthening the idea of a common Europeanness too often forgotten.
