Description
IMPACT, masculine noun from the Latin impactus, past participle of impingere, or to push against.
THE IMPACT is the contact point between the projectile – the work of art – and the target – the place, humanity.
The moment of contact or, more commonly, the collision, the crash – the violent relationship.
But IMPACT is also an influx, an influence – the complex of transformations induced by an external, artificial (artistic) action in a space or context; transformations at times sparked off, at others simply hinted at or screamed out, accomplished or negated...
But can a work of art today have an IMPACT?
It is with a provocative aim rather than simply a proposal, with an attack rather than an invitation, that ARTEINGENUA addresses young contemporary and emergent artists, inviting them to participate in a competition that, above all, aims at gauging the IMPACT of new expressive languages, with forms of art still unseen...
