The first winter edition of Contemporary Venice is focused on the theme of IDENTITIES and on the relationship between man, society and contemporary cities. The exhibition will explore the lifestyles and ways of being that run on a parallel level of our ordinary life.

This new city character becomes the new order that modifies our everyday life. ARTISTS Paula Haapalahti . Finland | Istvan . Switzerland | Francoise Gaujour . France | Peppe Esposito .
