With SuperNatural Open Walls, Rifugio Digitale wants to open its walls metaphorically to transform the entire district into an outdoor gallery: projected on the walls of the buildings of San Niccolò, the pictures exhibited by the artists in the cycle will dialogue with the city’s architecture, opening new horizons of awareness and comparison, as much on contemporary visual languages as on the subjects of their expression.
SuperNatural Open Walls, an event organized as part of Estate Fiorentina 2023, promoted by the City of Florence, and curated by Irene Alison and Paolo Cagnacci, opens from September 7 to 14, 2023. The project has been co-financed by the European Union-European Regional Development Fund, as part of the Operational Program Metropolitan Cities 2014-2020 and in collaboration with Forma Edizioni.
The event includes an indoor exhibition at Rifugio Digitale and an outdoor video installation on the facades of the hotel Fornace Suite, which will become the stage for projections of a selection of video works by artists Luca Locatelli, Charlotte Dumas, Matthieu Gafsou, Hayley Eichenbaum, Piero Percoco, Maria Lax and Petrina Hicks. The opening will be held on Thursday, September 7, 2023 at 7 p.m. at Rifugio Digitale.
