OPEN CALL Al-Tiba9 Barcelona, Algiers 2017
Mostre, Spagna, Province of Barcelona, Barcelona, 27 May 2017
Al-Tiba9 International Exhibition of Contemporary Art, is an exhibition that plays with the impossible where complexity equates with the simplicity and organic to the actual can "be". Simplifying is not reducing because with some letters we can write an infinity of stories.

An exhibition curated by Collectif Asswad Mo' Mohamed Benhadj and Mazia Djab. It is an artistic collective which the approach is to seize in a particular and intuitive way the social reality. Asswad's Method consists of creating an interface between art and the society. For this reason the collective established an urban dialectic, this was created by artistic actions that took place in public spaces. It does not impel giving answers but in fact it is a question of giving the interrogations, an affirmation.

After the success of the 4th edition, it is great enthusiasm that Al-Tiba9 International Exhibition of Contemporary Art announces; for this year, the 5th edition of Al-Tiba9 in Barcelona, June 10th 2017 and in Algiers September 30th 2017.

The 5th edition of Al-Tiba9 exhibit this year, has as theme :
----------------------
Addressing a reflection about the transgression remains today still difficult, because it is often perceived negatively, as destruction. Yet it would be fairer to say that breaking the ban is a deconstruction but also a reappropriation of a reality that seems obsolete for reconstruction. This disorder, this episodic chaos seems to be necessary by its positive side but especially appropriate to seek its meaning because the transgression certainly allows access to new forms, to a new order without "CONCERN" of its meaning and its founder character, We could fear an uncontrollable violence.

Arab Thinkers and poets have all highlighted the evidence of the paradox of a thought before to incorporate the reconciliation of opposites (Ibn Arabi, Abu Nawas, Al Allaj); In the other part, the West side Heraclitus, Nicolas de Cus, Kant emphasized the complexity of being, his aporetic side, dualism's end: the turbulence takes part of humanity; chaos is creative. "Transgression is at the heart of any act establishing a tradition or custom.
That is why we must take this expression of a creative imagination at work."

----------------------
