Item Number: 129489 Title: The new Florence biennale : Etica DNA dell'arte : Ethics DNA of Art : Biennale internazionale d'arte contemporanea di Firenze, IX edizione 2013 Author: Bellini, Rolando (ed) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788895962290 Description: Bologna: Lupetti, 2013. 24cm., hardcover, 456pp. illus., most in color. Exhibition held at Fortezza da Basso, Florence. Summary: The Florence Biennale is one of the few international art events structured as a self-financed independent platform for contemporary art, where Artists from all over the world come to Florence to exhibit their work at the Fortezza da Basso, and share an inspiring, live, and unique experience. The event is patronised by the President of the Republic and Ministry of Cultural Heritage of Italy as well as the Regional, Provincial and Municipal authorities of the City of Florence. As suggested by the theme 'Ethics: DNA of Art', the mission of the Florence Biennale is to stir some reflection and critical thinking about the relationship between art and ethics, and the role of the arts in the new millennium. Moving from a notion of art as unrelated to ethics and aesthetics towards a neo-Humanistic vision, in which creativity is the driving force of any system of knowledge. Accordingly, new frontiers will be explored in a design to reinterpret the fundamental values of Humanism, and thus re-establish the key role of artistic culture in the global realities of the present.
