"From coffee to Facebook": the new way of making art

From 17 to 23 February 2018 will take place the exhibition "From coffee to Facebook" at the Seven's.bo space, the event will be curated by Dr. Fabiana Maiorano, a graduate in Visual Arts at the University of Bologna.

This exhibition was born in a historical moment in which the best way to discuss and share their thoughts is precisely that of social media. Art is no longer bound in workshops or cafés but is shared in places of common interest such as Facebook groups and it is in this context that the artists who are the protagonists of the exhibition have virtually met and embarked on this new experience.

We spent a few hours with the curator, who explained the meaning of this exhibition:

"The advent of social networks has upset the idea of making art and above all has changed the very enjoyment of the work of art, making it lose the sacred aura that distinguished it. The protagonists of this exhibition are artists whom I myself have known thanks to the web, whom I then confronted once I expressed their desire to meet in a collective. What do I expect from the exhibition? that the "pure" spectator, without any prejudice towards emerging or self-taught artists, dialogues with each individual work, with each individual artist, to understand the importance of enjoying a work of art at three hundred and sixty degrees, not only through a screen, by means of like".

The protagonists of this event are mainly emerging artists, some self-taught, who come from all over Italy and for this reason it will be an important opportunity for meeting and knowledge.

The vernissage will take place on February 17, 2018 at the Seven's.bo space, via Galliera 62 in Bologna, followed by a refreshment for all those who participate. The exhibition with free admission will continue until 23 February, Monday to Friday, from 09:00 to 18:00.
