Post Cards to Venice
and more with the group installations...
Postcards to Venice
From the vibrant streets of Mexico City to the bustling art scenes of New York, and all the way to the serene canals of Venice, Postcards to Venice is a celebration of art in motion. This collection of small, original artworks serves as a testament to the diverse and interconnected journeys of our global artistic community. Each piece captures a unique story, a moment, or a vision, reflecting the myriad paths that artists travel in their creative lives.
Supported by our partner galleries - Oddetta Digital, #Hashtag Gallery, and Hohenthal und Bergen - this project presents a multifaceted exploration of contemporary art. It offers a dynamic blend of perspectives, materials, and techniques, weaving together a rich tapestry of experiences that extend far beyond geographic borders, a dialogue between cultures, places, and people, bridging the local and the global through the universal language of art.
Exquisite AI
Explore the intersection of AI and fine art with "Exquisite AI," a concept conceived by Peter Hopkins, previously acclaimed at ART MIAMI FAIRS 2023. Step into a realm where original artworks are juxtaposed with AI-generated interpretations based on the artists' own prompts. This captivating experience will unfold in Mexico City and New York before culminating in Venice in September.
