OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS AND CURATOS
TANGLE - Visual Culture in Urban Art - Art City 2026
Parsec is launching a call for undergraduate students at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna (ABABO) and students from the Department of Arts at the University of Bologna, specifically those enrolled in the Visual Arts programs (SMART and AMAC curricula). The call is open to artists and young curators who wish to participate in the latest project of TANGLE – Visual Culture in Urban Art, a public art project developed by Parsec and Andrea Gianfanti in collaboration with the Department of Management.
TANGLE examines the relationship between contemporary art and urban space, investigating how visual culture can intervene in and reinterpret everyday spaces.
The project produced five site-specific interventions, inviting national and international artists to work on the wall of Via Capo di Lucca (Bologna). Each intervention was accompanied by a process of local research, contextual observation, and moments of discussion, with the aim of transforming the wall into a device for experimentation, narration, and dialogue.
This call launches the final phase of the project, through a collaboration with undergraduate students from the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna and the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Bologna, and will lead to the creation of a new work that will be installed and presented during the week of Art City 2026.
