FREE ENTRY / CON-TEMPORARY Art Observatorium - "Primal Noesis" Exhibition

"Primal Noesis" - Thematic group exhibition Location: CON-TEMPORARY Art Observatorium - Lavagna, Italy Accepted artworks: bidimensional, wall installed, including video art; tridimensional with limitations Period: three weeks, 2024 Submission deadline: ongoing, t.b.a. Theme: An exhibition to figure the possibility of a return to harmony with nature, its cycles and its primal demands, yet keeping knowledge, ethics and virtue. History gave us examples of peaceful primitive civilisations that developed a cognition of cosmos and a morality much more than the current Homo technologicus who too often abuses of enormous potentialities in obtuse, flawed, pauperising or aggressive ways. Dispelling the stereotype whereby a wild modus vivendi would be symptom of abjection or backwardness, the exhibition highlights how intelligence belongs to an inner noble soul and not to the appearance, and that knowledge is searching for the essence of things, so they are often expressed in an unsophisticated but archetypal way.
