TIRANA, May 31 – More than a hundred Albanian artists have come together at a collective “Join the Dots” exhibition in Italy’s Trieste showcasing Mediterranean art collections.
“Albania / Knots – 163 Contemporary Artists from Albania” is a collection of renowned Albanian artists living and working in Albania as well as abroad.
‘Join the Dots’ is an invitation to join the dots by following the red thread that unites the 40 collections on show.
“Trieste, which has always been a center for the exchange of ideas and trade, is the starting point for an itinerary of land and sea, which takes us from the shores of the North Sea to legendary Baghdad, from sunny Morocco to the Danubian steppes, from Baltic beaches to the Negev desert,” says Imago Mundi, the globe-spanning art project hatched in 2013 by Italian clothing magnate and philanthropist Luciano Benetton to represent every country on earth with an art exhibition, one by one.
Launched this week, the exhibition featuring artworks by some 6,300 artists will be open until Sept. 2.
