LoosenArt is an online gallery and platform dedicated to contemporary visual arts, born and based on principles of contemporaneity, the very same principles in which contact, connection and exchange are prerogatives of a cultural evolution supported by a technology that is the expression of an interest to find new channels to relate freely and more directly to the others, an interest to demonstrate an innate need of human contact, where meetings are always something which give rise to something else.
The LoosenArt project provides a space where art finds further support of its role, of its deeper meaning, of it being a channel through which man relates with others, with the world and reality. Being in contact with all of this, means being linked, feeling and grasping what is originated from all reality, so it also means feeling what today we perceive as an emergency, that need to answer and to measure. Due to this reason LoosenArt supports some organizations engaged in the field of environmental protection.
The LoosenArt Gallery Artwork offers are not covered by commercial logic widespread in the contemporary art system, where the value of the same artwork reflects the costs to possess it. Our offers are the expression of an interest to reach a common goal, that both the gallery and its artists share. A value, which even more importantly, can be traced in the recognition of a principle rooted in the natural urge to communicate and participate, in response to that innate need for meeting others.

April 2025FREE ENTRY Photographers, visual designers and video artists are invited to submit 1 up to 3 works addressing the theme.For more than a century, photography has been used as a documentary medium to detect the signs of human passage in our surroundings. The use of photographic, and subsequently even video, media allows the focus of attention to be placed on the single object or trace “discovered”, from which information about human behavior can be captured .One of the major changes that occurred during the early years of the twentieth century in the field of aesthetic phenomenology is, as a matter of fact, determined by the introduction of these new means of detection of reality, means that consent us to adopt a new way of grasping from reality the elements that we believe useful in the creation of a discourse. Grasping and analyzing also means to extrapolate from a context the objects that interest us, found objects that become compositional elements in a new expression of the self. Not only objects, but also places can reveal something that we consider significant for history and science, for our collective memory and our individual memory. The call is open to photographic, video and visual digital works, that present themselves as the result of an expression of research, discovery, valorization, analysis or critique, revealing what we seize from human and natural environmental contexts.Deadline January 20, 2025 │SUBMIT HERE |

June 2025FREE ENTRY Photographers, visual designers and video artists are invited to submit 1 up to 3 works addressing the theme.For centuries now, the close relationship between art and science has offered new prospects in exploring and understanding reality through a dialogue that combines the observation, analysis, reflection and expression of human experiences, a dialogue that promotes new creative and experimental approaches to the investigative processes. In the era of technical reproducibility, the use of photographic or video media and new technologies has become a fundamental practice in the development of artistic practices: starting from the Dadaist experiences, throughout the pop art period all the way to the contemporary artistic phenomenology, we have important testimony that confirm an increasingly closer link between art, technology and science. An important shift in the field of research has occurred with the advent of photography, as with it the approach to scientific , historical, geographical and anthropological documentation has changed, elaborate systematic methods of cataloging have been developed, and these contribute to the creation of new visual and informative aesthetics by which contemporary artists are influenced. This call will bring together works that express an interest in observation, documentation, data collection and representation, and expression of aesthetic harmony that stimulates curiosity for science.Deadline March 26, 2025 │SUBMIT HERE |
