Get matched →Dr. Carmela Loiacono, Art Historian & Independent Curator, is proud to present the open call for the international art exhibition CREACTION | The 2nd Edition 2026.
“Every piece of art is the fruit of human expression and the creativity of the individual artist.” CREACTION 2026 explores the mind, body, and movement that underpin the creative act of every artist. The exhibition investigates creativity not as a static given, but as a dynamic action: a necessary encounter—and clash—between the artist’s inner universe and external reality. To create is to inhabit a constant state of tension; it is the threshold where pure intuition meets the rigor of technique, where emotion engages with reflection, and where the chaos of the imagination finds its synthesis in form. Through the use of expressive media—color, light, sound, the body, or the spoken word—an inner urgency claims space and transforms into an emotional message, capable of resonating with anyone who pauses to observe. For this second edition, artists are invited to reflect on the concept of creativity, beginning with the relationship between the external world and their own inner world—an invitation to draw inspiration from a dualism defined by both differences and resonances, capable of generating the action needed to unlock new, possible horizons.
Artists and collectives, both Italian and international, working in painting, photography, sculpture, installation, video art and performance.
The exhibition will take place in Matera (Italy) at Casa Cava.
