6     On the two banks of the Rio di Cannaregio Nuova Icona is handling and
organizing "Fuoricampo" a series of set-ups by different artists who
are each proposed from a reality of an Italian non-commercial art
organizzations (that are: Maze from Turin, Le Nuvole from Palermo,
Museo Teo from Milan and Nuova Icona herself). The show will be in
different locations, all of them within reach with a short walk.
(Vaporetto N=B041 and 42, stops "Le Guglie" and "Tre Archi"). Names of
the invited artists: Enzo Apruzzese, Giovanni Bai, Fabio Cascardi, Anne

6p.m. and June 11th, hrs 4 p.m.. The show will be open only between
June 9th and 13th, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m..

The idea is to create an opportunity for artists "outside the right
circles" and at the same time to present our own way of working as
non-commercial organizers, which is still innovative and important for
the Italian art situation, thus fostering the creation of on operative
network.

* What is Nuova Icona?

NUOVA ICONA is a non commercial art organization based in Venice,
specialized in the promotion and realization of contemporary visual art
events. It has been founded in 1993 by a group of private citizen.
Nuova Icona is dedicated to realize artist's projects without
preclusion towards artistic tendencies, to create and host travelling
exhibitions and to publish catalogues. Its two venues, the gallery on
the Giudecca island and the Oratorio di San Ludovico, allows to host
different events and to keep a wide span of interests.

With an experimental attitude in the field of contemporary art, Nuova
Icona views itself as the organizative element, the active layer
between the public and the artist, a workshop where projects can be
realized. Nuova Icona is interested to keep its sight on a worldwide
panorama, and welcomes the cooperation with similar-minded art
organizations.

Nuova Icona' projects are realized thank to private sponsorships;
<underline>new subscriptions are really welcome</underline>. An annual
subscription give access to a roughly bi-monthly newsletter, the
catalogues published during the year, the invitations to private
openings attended by the artists and once/twice a year an art work
realized in a limited edition only for the subscribers.

The annual fee is 250.000 Italian lire.
