International Group Exhibition of Contemporary Art
Van 18 t/m 26 juli 2009 in Baveno (langs het Lago Maggiore), Italië

'Shamal, the creative wind' is een groepsexpositie waar internationaal werkende kunstenaars hun kunstwerken tonen in een prachtig middeleeuws stadhuis direct gelegen aan het lago Maggiore, in het centrum van Baveno.

'Shamal, the creative wind'  Shamal is the name of a violent summer wind from the persian gulf. Since the most ancient times it has been considered a rare event, something bringing sudden changes. Shamal is also considered a wind melting colors and sounds of distant lands. Such exotic wind will become the symbol of the exhibition. So Shamal becomes a metaphor of creativity and exceptionality.

A creative wind often gives direction to feelings and suggestions, getting the artist able to create something that will positively have effect on the reality. Ideas have no material shape, like the wind has not, so you cannot touch them but their effects on reality are manifest and evident. Today the wind of Shamal becomes communication, flexibility of the thoughts and transformation of these thoughts in something real: that's art.

De organisator van deze expositie is Camaver Kunsthaus International. De italiaanse galeriehouder bezit galieries in Italië, Berlijn en Boston en werkt samen met een galerie in Parijs. Daarnaast organiseert Camaver internationale groepsexposities.
