In 2023, Monteoliveto Gallery is back on the road or more accurately…Sur la Route…! We are preparing a new adventure that will ally our passion and interest for slow-travel, Ecology and bicycling with of course our love for Art and Culture. So this summer we will continue to follow our yearly thematic for the Ecological, Cultural, Social and Artistical Transition with a new episode of this itinerant project!
There is one major changement this time: Instead of doing the trip and then associate the narration of the trip to a final exhibition…We are going to bring the exhibition on the trip! So it will be a definetely, an exhibition…Sur la Route!
We called this year episode: Internal Borders. From the 21st of July to the 15th of August 2023, the Director of the Gallery: Gilbert Ciervo will be on the roads of Italy with a team of enthousiasts that will join him on the full trip or just on some legs, only by bicycle, train and when needed…ferry. In that way they without changing of country they will cross the many borders that exists between italian regions and discover different landscapes, cultures, ways of life all of that by slow-travelling and showing the exhibition that they bring with them.
The exhibition:
But how will they bring an whole exhibition with them you will say?! Simple! We ask to the artists, that wishes to participate in this extraordinary experience, to create one work with a maximum size of an A5 (15x21 cm) on light support (paper, cardboard, tissue, even digital if you want) and with sustainable materials as much as possible (if possible fully sustainable, to support our cause).
To apply it’s simple, fill the online form (link) and if it is possible for you participate to the crowdfunding for the project, with a minimum of 10 € (or more if you want to support even more our project and its next episodes). If selected we will write back to you very shortly and you will have until the 15th of July to send your artwork to the departing location in Napoli, Italy. Be quick, there are only 30 spots and the applications close the 30th of June!
