CALL FOR PAPER: LITURGICAL OBJECTS
The Exhibition will display modern liturgical objects selected among those created by expert artists, designer and workshops, at the next Koinè trade show held in Vicenza between 25-27 October 2020
European production scenario
There are many objects used in the Catholic Christian Church that meet the multiple needs of the Church congregation gathered for the Eucharistic celebration. Amongst these, sacred vases - and the chalice and paten in which the Eucharistic Bread and Wine are offered, consecrated and consumed - are of great importance.
Apart from sacred vases, other artefacts and furnishings are employed to prepare the celebration space and accompany the ritual actions that take place.
Purpose of the Exhibition - displaying a range of selected liturgical objects produced in Europe - is to highlight the influence of post-conciliar guidelines on the current production in several Countries.
SELECTION CRITERIA
The Committee will select liturgical objects that try to establish a contemporary dialogue with current multiple stimuli, languages and expression modes, through an original aesthetic research, by adopting a balanced and meaningful register. Apart from the originality of the aesthetic research, the Committee will also take into account the guidelines expressed by the Second Vatican Council and following. Particular focus will be paid to simplicity, dignity and beauty of shapes and materials used, rather than to opulent decorations.
Participants must submit the application form compiled and signed to the Curator (a.alessio@alessioconsulting.it) within Saturday 27 June 2020. The selection material must be submitted to the Exhibition Curator within Saturday 27 June 2020.
