Art of Freedom 2

CON-TEMPORARY Art Observatorium and Jizaino present the second edition of "Art of Freedom", a free theme group exhibition.

Differently from all our group shows, the exhibition cycle "Art of Freedom" does not have a main theme, so the artists have been chosen considering their personality and the contents. This did not exclude that the artworks on display were also inspired to freedom, which is a value constantly menaced and that needs continuous attentions.

The exhibition curated by Abramo Tepes Montini features paintings, graphics, photographs and videos by Aran, Lynn Bianchi, Guido Devadder, Masha Eretnova, Zizi Liu, Katarzyna Łukasiewicz, Marcantonio Lunardi, Tom Lundquist, Chris May, Laura Migliorino, Ruth Schmidt e Lex Turnbull.

This second edition of the Art of Freedom exhibition comes after more than two years. The first edition was held in a time of intense protests on a global level for the inhuman repression of individual freedom. Today, the scenario has changed, sadly with new and very serious events that still menace freedom: wars where thousands people are killed, millions are harassed or oppressed, while some unprecedented protests rise against the groups of power that impose merciless norms to governments asking more and more privations to the populace.

Today as always, freedom, whether spiritual or material, is a fundamental right that needs a big collective commitment to be preserved, defended from the reiterate menaces and attempts to oppress it.
