After the incredible success of its first Free Call, which saw the participation of 4,013 artists from 105 countries around the world, CREA Cantieri del Contemporaneo is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition

“2570 Revolutions Around the Earth.”

This exhibition showcases the 39 finalists of CREA OPEN 2025.

From April 12 to 27, 2025, at the Legno & Legno space of CREA, visitors can meet and admire the works of artists selected by an International Jury.

“2570 Revolutions Around the Earth” offers visitors a journey divided into thematic islands, planets, or constellations, where the finalist works of the award can take center stage in a narrative concert designed to prompt reflection on the present and our historical epoch.
The curatorial team, composed of Pier Paolo Scelsi and Ilaria Cera, along with Gaia De Santi, Sara Bizai, Filippo Vane, Gaia Crotti, Giorgia Rizzo, Aman Novara, Alyssa Dal Zotto, Anastasiia Melnykova, and Olga Shymanskaya, has envisioned an exhibition layout that guides visitors through five sections: Introspection, Body, More than Human, Technology & Data, Society.

The Experience of Translation | The Translation of Experience
CREA Cantieri del contemporaneo, Giudecca, March 27 – April 7, 2025
Curated by Ricarda Vidal and Madeleine Campbell

Opening: March 27, 6.30PM. Opening times: March 28-April 7, 11AM-6PM, free admission

The works in this exhibition are the result of international collaborations between artists, writers, translators and academics. And more often than not, they also draw on the vibrant inspiring atmosphere of public participatory workshops where we invited people to join us in the exploration of embodied translation between media via creative methods (e.g. writing, performance, artmaking, etc.). These workshops were conducted online or in person in the many different places we live in.
Many of the works were created by members of the Experiential Translation Network, which brings together scholars and practitioners from around the world. We are interested in embodied translation within and between media as a process of creation and communication, as well as a method for learning and teaching, collaboration and participation within multilingual, multicultural settings. This includes understanding the many verbal and non-verbal modes and modalities that contribute to meaning-making in cross-cultural communication (online & offline), language learning and translation, and embracing the role of individual imagination and artistic creation in education and arts institutions (e.g. libraries, galleries, museums).

We are speachless! ❤️

What a number 4013!
4013 times thanks!
4013 artists!
from 104 different countries around the world has applied
CREA OPEN 2024!

When we imagined this competition months ago, we thought of it above all to understand how large our community and our audience were, to establish a real relationship with you, to get to know you and make ourselves known.

we would never have imagined such a result, you have inundated us with your art and your attention so much so that we can say that the real winners of CREAOPEN 2025 are us!!!

not only the number of participants, more than 4000, but above all the very high quality of your works, your proposals and your research, will make the work of selecting finalists and winners that we will now have to do extremely difficult. If we had enough space and staff, if we had the whole city in which to exhibit your works, we would really like to be able to bring you all to us in Venice! ❤️

…and a big, huge, surprise is coming…
…Stay Tuned!

Thank you very much from CREA!
