(Jul. 16) – There is a lot of buzz in the United Kingdom around “Apulian Excellence”, a calendar of one-off events in London showcasing the Made-in-Puglia creative excellence. The series of events will unfold between the 16th and 21st of July 2012, across a number of exciting venues in central London. The initiative, called “Home, my Place in the World”, is organized by Regione Puglia, the Italian Cultural Institute in London and Accademia Apulia UK, and aims to introduce the best expressions of culture, art, creativity and cuisine from Apulia to the international community. Taking center stage will be the homonymous art exhibition “Home, My Place in the World” hosted at La Galleria Pall Mall, which will be opened with a private viewing on 17th July. Curated by the art critic Lia De Venere, the contemporary art show will display paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations and videos focused on the theme of homeland. Giving tribute to the concepts of identity, nomadism, home and mother country, the exhibition will showcase works of art of some of the most representative Apulian artists. (Red)
