The manner of today. Based in Florence – from 3 Feb. to 11 Apr. 2010
The invited artists – Mario Airò, Mark Bagnoli, Massimo Bartolini, Paolo Masi, Massimo Nannucci, Maurizio Nannucci, Paul Parisi, Remo Salvadori – played through the language of contemporary popular historians and museum spaces, creating a path that cancels the time distances place between the host and their intervention in the same visual horizon and includes the ‘old’ and the ‘new’.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Region of Tuscany and carried out in collaboration with the Superintendence for Artistic and Ethno-anthropological Heritage and the State Museums of Florence, and involves some of the most prestigious museums and historical sites such as: Galleria degli Uffizi, Galleria dell ‘ Accademia, Museo di San Marco, the Cenacle of St. Apollonia, Cloister of the Scalzo, Piazza Duomo, Palazzo Strozzi Sacrati.
The manner of today. Based in Florence has originated from a double inspiration, explicit in the title of the event. On the one hand, the attraction is the famous phrase with which Vasari in his Lives indicated the innovations introduced in their own artistic language of the painters of Renaissance Florence, always proof of how art represents the cornerstone of the identity of Florence — even in the sign of innovation with tradition. The other to acknowledge the continuing commitment in promoting contemporary art association base / projects for art, a collective of artists, born in 1998 and made today by artists on show, all artists who live and work in Tuscany and who present themselves as representatives of art in Florence today.
