Working together to give voice to art, to multiply its visions, to create a narration with many
voices, connected together into a large Adriatic and transmedia network: this is the main goal of
the project. The exhibition is part of the project "arTVision. A live art channel" funded by the
European IPA Adriatic CBC Programme 2007/2013, with the purpose to activate and connect the
creative energy of young artists invited to participate as protagonists.
It is an experimental project, led by Puglia Region - Area Policies for the Promotion of Territory,
Knowledge and Talent, which involves: Pino Pascali Foundation Museum of Contemporary Art;
Veneto Region - Direction of cultural and performance activities; Academy of Fine Arts of Venice;
Ministry of Culture of Montenegro; Faculty of Dramatic Arts of Cetinje – Montenegro; Ministry of
Culture of Albania; University of Arts of Tirana - Albania; Primorje-Gorski Kotar County – Croatia;
Kanal RI - Croatia.

The core idea is to establish a strict dialogue among cross-border Nations through a set of cultural
actions, aimed at finding out commonalities and discontinuities among peoples sharing the Mare
Nostrum of the Adriatic Mediterranean. One exhibition and five versions of it, in different
locations and territories, to state the concept of a new linguistic Koinè, capable of translating
territorial identities into the dynamics of relationship, open-mindedness and comparison. The
artists from different geographical areas, coordinated by a team of curators, headed by the Pino
Pascali Museum Foundation, in collaboration with the coordinators of the partner countries, have
dealt with such shared topics as stories and narrations, myths and legends, spirituality and
religions, migration and nomadism, with the aim to strengthen the idea of a common
Europeanness too often forgotten.
The exhibition is curated by Antonio Frugis, Pino Pascali Foundation.
