I neurofisiologi sostengono che , non solo l’attività della nostra mente crea effetti collaterali permanenti a livello neurologico; e vero anche il contrario. I nostri pensieri coscienti sembrano scaturire dalla profondità della mente , le immagini irrompono nel centro delle nostre riflessioni senza che noi abbiamo idea della loro provenienza . Questo vale per le persone comuni e scienziati. Per gli artisti, in mancanza di comprensione del meccanismo immaginativo, è stata coniata l’espressione: ispirazione. Così gli artisti si attribuiscono i meriti delle loro “improvvisazioni” , senza capirne la provenienza. Siccome per ispirazione vale ciò che si dice dell’araba fenice, che ci sia ciascun lo dice, cosa (dove) sia nessun lo sa, accade che all’insegna dell’ispirazione ci tocchi osservare cose che gli umani non dovrebbero vedere, tanto meno fare. Tornando seri, questa dicotomia del sé creativo in una parte cosciente e in una parte inconscia, è uno degli aspetti che più turbano scienziati e filosofi cognitivi quando tentano di capire la mente. Se, come abbiamo visto, le nostre idee migliori sembrano scaturire da misteriosi e profondi recessi della mente, la domanda che si pone la filosofia cognitiva è: chi siamo noi veramente? Dov’è situato lo spirito creativo? E’ un atto di volontà che noi compiamo oppure siamo in larga misura determinati da fattori che sfuggono al nostro controllo? La convinzione di possedere il libero arbitrio è una sorta di auto-inganno? Questo varco che il dubbio apre nella mente, è il punto di cova di tutte le oscurità dell’animo umano, la magia, la religione, la superstizione. Se invece d’impegnarci per un faticoso accumulo di conoscenza cediamo alla tentazione di andare a “scuola dallo stregone”, vista la difficoltà di capire rinunciamo all’impegno di capire, imbocchiamo una deriva pericolosa.

Architects, designers and urban planners have been invited to analyze the evolution of the liquid architecture and the integration between reality and virtual world/technologies; the relationship between architecture and the new virtual no-places, and the possible future results. Selection was made by It’s LIQUID, VALORIZZAZIONI CULTURALI and ART-EVENTS.
Artists, photographers and video makers have been invited to analyze the current evolution of the physical body inside the liquid reality of the virtual world; its transformation from a concrete state to a “liquid” extension. Artworks will investigate the relationship between real cities and virtual places, and how the man lives this dualism and the disaggregation of the physical identities. Selection was made by It’s LIQUID, International ArtExpo and ART-EVENTS.
The event is curated by Arch. Luca Curci (founder of LUCA CURCI ARCHITECTS, International ArtExpo and It’s LIQUID Group) and organized in partnership with VALORIZZAZIONI CULTURALI | ART-EVENTS.

Luxury, prestige, and comfort are the features of Palazzo Radetzky. The accurate and skilful renovation work that is still underway, will permit to transform the ground floor of the Palace in a private gallery with an exclusive courtyard located in the heart of Brera Quarter, in a unique position of Milano city centre. Equipped with all services and facilities. Designed in the second decade of the Nineteenth century by renowned architect Pietro Pestagalli and built close to the Sforzesco Castle, this palace strikes at the first glance because of its extraordinarily elegant façade in late neo-classical style with decorations and precious external finishes.
The Salone del Mobile is the global benchmark for the Home Furnishing Sector. An invaluable tool for the industry as well as an ongoing, quite extraordinary promotional vehicle. After the success of the 2014 edition – attended by 311,781 trade operators – 205,464 of whom from foreign Countries; over 39,000 members of the general public and 6,276 communication operators – the Salone Internazionale del Mobile is reconfirmed as the acknowledged exclusive showcase for the latest in furnishing, with a vast range of top quality products in every conceivable style.
Starting from 2001, Luca Curci with International ArtExpo and It’s LIQUID Group, have curated and organized more than 80 contemporary art events, with the participation of about 2.500 international artists from all-over the world (UK, Spain, Italy, France, Austria, Portugal, The Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Greece, Germany, Turkey, Poland, USA, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Israel, UAE, Russia, Thailand, etc.) with an average of 45 artworks exhibited in each show (with a maximum of 108 artists involved in the great MORPHOS festival held in Venice during the Architecture Biennale 2014). The organization has international partnerships with art venues in Italy, Turkey, USA, Spain, Argentina, UK, Middle East, etc., and collaborates with museums, galleries and institutions such as MuMo – Museum Montanelli in Prague, Laura Haber Gallery in Buenos Aires, MIXER gallery in Istanbul and MECA art center in Almeria.
