BLOOM

BLOOM: the Art of how to Care and Rebirth

Videoinsight Foundation – ETS launches the Open Call for reside Sculptures “Bloom“

Videoinsight Foundation – ETS, a leading institution in the promotion of Art as a tool of prevention and psychological well-being, announces the launch of “Bloom”, an international Open Call, which combines sculpture, performance, and psychology.

The project was born with a clear mission: to promote the health and care through the language of symbols. Artists are invited to defy gravity, and the boundaries of matter, creating light sculptures designed to be worn, and “dwell” on the head.

The Concept: Flourish to Stay Well

The initiative aims to stimulate reflection on one’s health. The title Bloom evokes the act of flourishing, not only as an aesthetic reference, but an imperative of life. The candidate Works must translate into plastic forms concepts and symbols related to spiritual growth, rebirth, the projection of the self towards the top. The choice of the head as the “pedestal” is not random: it is the seat of thought, insight, and identity. The sculptures will have to interpret one or more of the following concepts:

• Health – Care
• Nature – Culture 
• Evolution 
• Peace – Freedom
• Empathy 
• Insight – Awareness 
• Beauty
• Communication
• Talent – Vision
• Respect – Dignity 
• Friendship – Love
• Art – Science

The fashion Show Event, the Artworks in motion

The winning works will be part of a fashion show – performance of transformative. The sculptures will not be exposed in a static way, but will be worn on the head by models in an exclusive fashion show where the motion of the body will give new life to the art object, creating a dynamic dialogue between art, fashion and psychology. The head, the center of the nervous system and the seat of the psyche, and will become the pedestal living symbols of “elevate” the human being. The lightness of the materials will be critical to allow the work to be carried with grace, transform the art into a dynamic experience and healing. The Works will be interpreted as extensions of thought and emotion. 

“With Bloom, the art work is not an object to be observed from a distance, but a medicine for the eyes and for the mind that man chooses to ‘wear’ to express their inner evolution.” 

Contemporary Ipazie

The models will be contemporary Ipazie not only simple, heirs of an old name, but manifestations of living and attitudes that challenge the time. As the astronomer of Alexandria, the models – muse Ipazie inhabit the thin border between the logic is more rigorous and empathy, more profound, acting as bridges between what the world is and what it could become, and act as illumined minds of the present, are the guardians and prophetesses of the future.

While the world is running towards a digital distraction perennial, the Ipazie remain anchored to reality with a presence aware. You are not bound to observe the chaos, the filter through their genius, to find an order. They are guided by the

• Vision: to possess the rare ability to read the signals light of tomorrow. Where others see crisis, they can see the need for a new paradigm.
• Action: designing solutions, writing code, take care of wounds, social and environmental, with the precision of one who knows that the future is built on a detail at a time.

The talent of these women is never an end in itself. It is a light that burns if it is kept closed, but warms up if shared. They are illumined minds. They have: 

• Merit: The merit is solid, built on the study and toil, and yet it is interpreted with a grace that does not exclude the other.
• The Intelligence of the Heart: “be empathic creatures” means for them to understand that there is no scientific progress or cultural, that it may be said that if he tramples on the human. Their mind shines because it is nourished by the ability to feel the pain and joy of the world.

Ipazie does not seek martyrdom, but the mastery of it. She does not want to die for her ideas, she wants it to live in the hands of those around her.

Ipazie are friends in life, do not envy, do not compete, they believe in the sisterhood intellectual. They build 

• Networks of Knowledge: they are “sisters in the culture” because they recognize the talents of others without fear. They create the ecosystem where knowledge circulates freely, where the success of one is the victory of a collective vision.
• The Care of the Everyday: in private life, they are best friends aware of this. They listen to the silence between the words, and offer a shoulder that is, at the same time, a pillar of practical wisdom

These women are cartografe of a new human geography. In an era that often rewards the scream louder, Ipazia prefer the power of the word measured and the effectiveness of the gesture inspired. They are lighthouses that remain stationary on the coast, but that was to sail with us in the open sea.

Jury and Selection

The proposals will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary Jury composed of leading figures from the world of contemporary art, medicine, psychology, and design. The evaluation will be based on the ability of the work to convey a message, therapeutic, and on its aesthetic harmony.
