LUBICA aims at bringing together and offering inspiring new opportunities to artists who are
looking for a challenge, want to “educate about beauty”, take care of the Other, and are willing
to think outside the box to come up with new points of view.
GOALS
The competition is open to artists, architects, designers, and engineers interested in creating
monumental (both outdoor and indoor) or smaller (indoor) paper artworks. Projects should exploit
paper in bold and innovative ways in order to enhance its original features. Throughout the event,
the selected monumental artworks will either be exhibited in the main squares of Lucca (outdoor),
or in the indoor venues. After the event, they will become part of LUBICA’s permanent collection
and have the possibility of being exhibited during other events.
THEME
The theme of LUBICA’s 12th edition is “Here and Now: Tomorrow”
Nowadays, nothing seems to last and people often seem to act only in the here and now, without
considering the consequences of their actions, as if they faced no tomorrow. Art, on the other hand, has always had its eyes set on tomorrow, and on the human mind’s countless opportunities to travel beyond itself, searching for new worlds to build, imagine and discover.
At the same time, knowing how to live in the present – the here and now – is crucial in our
existence. The present is the only time in which we can truly exist, grow, feel, love, and rejoice.
Too often, we forget about this simple fact and end up repeating the same actions over and over as if in a trance, that of linear time, the time of our ego, of material living.The outside world, society, our obligations, as well as social media are constantly calling our attention away from the here and now, distracting us from the present moment, postponing it to a later time, tomorrow, maybe.
