CARTAVETRA
contemporary art
Cartavetra nasce nel 2015 dall’incontro di alcuni artisti che operano sul territorio Toscano.
Per i fondatori di questo nuovo spazio, situato in una delle zone più propositive della città fiorentina, nell’ambito dell’arte contemporanea, è necessario rompere con il modello della galleria destinata a pochi iniziati e cercare di cancellare, a poco a poco, quella specie di strana, impenetrabile barriera, composta da un misto di diffidenza, cautela ed esitazione, che separa ancora una buona parte di pubblico dalla galleria.
Partendo da questo principio Cartavetra ha iniziato a proporre artisti e mostre che parlassero, incuriosissero e accogliessero i visitatori, spaziando tra linguaggi artistici diversi come pittura, scultura, incisione, disegno…
Cartavetra was born in 2015 for a group of artists residing in the Tuscan territory to promote contemporary art forms close to their artistic research, while trying to scratch the dusty idea of a gallery that drives away the audience instead of welcoming it.
Cartavetra aims at a wide audience, but at the same time wants to maintain the quality of its exhibit choices. Art for all, but carefully filtered and selected.For the founders of Cartavetra, it is necessary to break through the model of the gallery destined for a few beginnings and try to gradually erase that kind of strange, impenetrable barrier- consisting of a mixture of mistrust, caution, and hesitation- that is separating a good deal of audience from the gallery.Starting from this principle, Cartavetra began to offer artists and exhibitions that spoke to curious and welcomed visitors.
These ranging from different artistic languages such as painting, sculpture, engraving, and drawing, as well as performance, reading, book presentations, and workshops with artists in exhibition.
