With the Patronage of The City of Chianciano Terme
The
Most Important Digital and Photographic Art event in Europe
that will stimulate and provoke the art lover as well as serve as an opportunity for
collectors and enthusiasts.
In September of this year the Chianciano Art Museum will be
transformed. Works by artists such as Durer, Munch, Tiepolo
and Magritte will be replaced by what is the next generation of
artistic expression, Digital and Photographic Art. Independently
from the exhibition, photographic workshops will be held in the
conference centre and the library.
The Chianciano Award
was instituted to give digital and photographic artists the opportunity to
gain visibility on the international scene.
The artists displayed will be those who capture their feelings,
inspired by the reality around them, expressing
their interpretation of life and communicating their philosophy of
existence, using the digital revolution as their
canvas.
The award exhibition is judged by internationally renowned experts and is
curated by specialists that have staged shows in museums such as the
Victoria and Albert in London as well as the Biennale of Chianciano
2009, as can be seen on the videos below.
The photo Workshops
offer the possibility to achieve a deeper understanding of photographic
technique thanks to the skill of the five professionals that will
lead the course. The classes are open to amateur and professional
photographers.
These photographers, whose works appear daily in important
international publications such as The New York Times,
Vanity Fair, Time Magazine, Forbes, The Times of London, Washington
Post, Corriere della Sera, L’Espresso, Le Monde, Le Figaro, Die
Zeit, Der Spiegel, and Stern, will be the tutors for the workshops.
The Chianciano Art Museum has had significant exposure on national
and international newspapers and magazines during the Biennale of Chianciano
and was praised by the New York Times. The Biennale hosted the works of 160
artists from all over the world, such as the Philippines, Korea,
United States and Australia and had over 10,000 visitors.
This is a unique opportunity that will allow the participants to
interact, meet and share experiences with digital artists and
photographers from all around the world.
