Santorini Biennale 2016 | Call for Artists

Image courtesy Santorini Biennale 2016.

The Santorini Biennale is calling artists worldwide to study and explore the artistic theme «Alice’s adventures in Wonderland. Who is Alice, where is Wonderland and what is the Wonder?»

The aim is to promote both emerging and established artists that are working on the borders between different art disciples, allowing them to surpass the traditional (and perhaps limiting) concepts of classicism, modernism, contemporary and applied arts.

ARTISTIC THEME

Alice’s adventures in Wonderland. Who is Alice, where is wonderland and what is the Wonder?

Alice is moving in a world where the established perceptions about life are overruled and the “common morality” is mocked with great passion. Even if these two elements are mainly found in the work of Albert Camus, in the case of Alice we observe a “system of absolute freedom” same as the system supported by Sartre, in which the individual has the absolute liberty to determine his personality. But is this possible? Is “every Alice” a being that has been placed into “existence” without commitments and suggested to shape itself and its environment?
