ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is pleased to announce the open call for MORPHOS – TEMPORARY IDENTITIES 2025, a Venice International Art Fair that will take place from April 24 to May 09, 2025, in Venice, at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello and in other prestigious venues and historical buildings.

The exhibition envisions a future where identity and environment evolve together. By breaking limits and redefining borders, MORPHOS – TEMPORARY IDENTITIES invites all the artists to immerse themselves in a multisensory exploration of their consciousness and to share their personal artistic research through any kind of media, from painting to sculptures and installation, from photography to video art and live performance.

Founded in 1870, the Rijksakademie has developed into an internationally leading residency. Originally it functioned as a classical academy, training artists such as Piet Mondrian, Karel Appel and Constant.

* You strengthen the visibility and artistic impact of the Rijksakademie within the national and international art landscape.
* You play an active role in maintaining and strengthening ties with alumni.
* You will work closely with the General Manager and the team to achieve the artistic and organizational objectives.
