Art Caffe Londonis organising a special night on January 29th 2013 dedicated to Emergency UK and its new charity campaign and 2013 Art projects, at Vibe Gallery in London.The director Fabio Costantino Macis will present a new spot for the Emergency UK campaign, and a sculpture from Emergency UK’s new Art project – In Your Shoes. The project ‘In Your Shoes’ will be revealing a new sculpture that incorporates football boots kindly donated by Manchester City’s striker Mario Balotelli !
They are now launching a free competition for video makers to create a short film (length has to be 150 – 180 seconds). All the short movies selected will be presented during the special night. The theme decided is ‘SHOES’ and the ways that people use them. The representation and the ideas about SHOES are completely up to the artist.
LaNotizia (The bimonthly magazine, online and on paper, directed by Salvatore Mancuso, a professional photographer based in London. This publication has, in short time, attracted the attention of more than 10000 users, and it covers the interest of readers by creating a cultural bridge in all fields of knowledge.)
The In Your Shoes project was born from the creative mind of Maria Jole Serreli and Emergency UK’s love of art. This project involves Italian artists and international VIPs that have agreed to donate their own shoes and to join the Emergency UK project that is keen to promote its own activity and cause through the medium of art. The project has attracted celebrities such as the Manchester City striker, Mario Balotelli, who has already donated his shoes. All the shoes will be transformed into artworks by international artists, like the Slovenian Damjan Komel. All the proceeds form this campaign will go to Emergency to sustain the Pediatric centre in Bangui (Central African Republic).
