In programma dal 2 giugno al 31 luglio 2023 a Taranto, Artlab Eyeland lancia ISOLA MADRE, open call aperta a tutte le artiste e artisti del territorio tarantino dal 6 al 15 maggio, con l’obiettivo di valorizzare le produzioni del tessuto artistico locale e di prossimità. Rivolgendosi ad autrici e autori residenti o con domicilio nella provincia di Taranto, l’open call vuole innescare una riflessione sul contesto culturale e creativo territoriale e aprire opportunità alle professioniste e professionisti che operano in tale contesto. ISOLA MADRE è dedicata alla promozione di talenti che sviluppano espressioni visive dell’arte contemporanea ed è aperta ai diversi linguaggi artistici: dalla pittura alla scultura, dalla fotografia al video, dall’installazione alle illustrazioni.

LA GIURIA E I PREMI
La giuria composta dal team di direzione artistica di Artlab Eyeland e dal team di Salgemma, partner della call, assegnerà i seguenti premi:
- una mostra all’edizione 2023 di Artlab Eyeland (Premio Isola Madre)

Hot Zone
Artist Feature of Claudia Fuggetti
Apr 05, 2023
The discovery of the brain area where dreams are generated is relatively recent; it is located precisely above the nape and is called the “hot zone”. Hot Zone documents the unfolding of a lucid dream, placing the viewer in the balance between fiction and reality, in which photography becomes proof of its existence.

I started this new work at a complicated time in my life, at the end of 2019, I was suffering from insomnia, and I was very anxious about the future, with the fate of human beings and the environment seriously compromised. Dreams began to merge with reality, becoming images. From that moment, my obsession was to reproduce what I saw during my sleeping hours, noting details and trying to recreate them visually.

The images on a subconscious layer are transformed into a visual journey in which visions, flashbacks and hallucinations connect, giving rise to new space-time dimensions and psychedelic worlds. The relationship between landscape and nature is complex: real places have been altered through digital painting interventions. They seem to come from alien planets, taking on unusual colors and becoming a mirror of human tension towards the future of the Earth.

Beauty hides restlessness: “I had a dream, which was not all a dream.” - Lord Byron.

Hot Zone becomes an actual dimension, bringing to life what is usually destined to be lost after each awakening. The contribution of artificial intelligence can help overcome the human limit of memory. Within the project are images (square format) of documentation produced by a neural network I created.

TODAY IS YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW
After the great success of the first edition, our International Photo Festival is back from 23 September to 2 October 2022 in Bologna, Italy. With this open call you can become part of it and claim your free daily pass to come to visit us.

The theme of this edition is Today is Yesterday's Tomorrow, meant as an occasion to reflect on the strong moment of change we are living. The eternal return of history; the need to live the present while recognizing the power of actions and how the future depends on our decisions today; the different points of view we share and the speculative interpretation of reality.

There are many angles to interpret this theme. This is why we invite you to send yours and join this open call that represents the main channel through which become part of our festival. We are selecting indeed at least 3 works for individual shows, up to 40 images for a collective installation, and up to 20 projects for the projections. Plus, as an applicant you can claim your free daily pass to attend the festival!

We look forward to reviewing your applications - together with a jury comprising photographers who were the protagonist of last year's edition - and to welcoming you to Bologna this September.
