From the Academy of Fine Arts to Manifattura Tabacchi

Projects dedicated to the contemporary continue apace at the ex-industrial complex

Throughout the summer, in the spaces dedicated to contemporary art, Manifattura Tabacchi hosted four students from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts: Alessandro Fabbri, Fiamma D’Auria, Tatiana Mantovani and Lir Tasho. The initiative was set up to give opportunities to young talent in the lead up to La Meraviglia (The wonder), the second edition of the Art Residencies, curated by Sergio Risaliti for Manifattura Tabacchi, and fits into a much wider programme dedicated to contemporary art.

Nei i mesi estivi gli artisti hanno vissuto gli spazi approfondendo la loro ricerca artistica e traendo ispirazione dai contenuti e dalle persone che popolano Manifattura Tabacchi.

Lo Studio Visit del 28 agosto 2019, in cui gli artisti hanno aperto gli atelier per raccontare se stessi e la loro esperienza attraverso le opere prodotte, ha concluso questo intenso periodo di scambio tra questi giovani talenti e il luogo che li ha ospitati.

New collaborations and ideas have been born in the ateliers, which have helped to give new life to the spaces of Manifattura Tabacchi. Working closely with other artists has brought new possibilities and creative ideas.
