OPENING: CONSCIOUSNESS – ANIMA MUNDI 2026
OPENING
CONSCIOUSNESS – ANIMA MUNDI 2026
Venice | June 19 – July 03, 2026
Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, Venice
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is delighted to welcome you to the opening of CONSCIOUSNESS on June 19, at 06:00 PM. Hosted in the historic heart of the city, the event gathers a dynamic intersection of painting, photography, and performance, inviting a worldwide audience to explore the depths of contemporary creative research.
This exhibition marks the second chapter of the ANIMA MUNDI ART FAIR 2026, a historic, regular appointment for Venice and a consolidated tradition that cyclically returns to light up the city’s art scene by highlighting compelling emerging and mid-career voices. This brilliant continuation follows the successful launch of the art fair’s first appointment, RITUALS (May 20 – June 04, 2026), which previously opened the season by showcasing more than 120 artists from over 20 nations.
ANIMA MUNDI is the vital energy that flows through everything, the subtle force that connects all forms of existence, from the natural to the artificial, from the visible to the invisible. It is the living pulse of the world, the rhythm that sustains transformation, coexistence, and renewal. Plato expressed his thoughts about ANIMA MUNDI in the Timaeus, describing the universe – “this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence… a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related”.
