Inanimate Existence
Reviving the unused
The Lorenzo de’ Medici Gallery in collaboration with Lorenzo de’ Medici Institute and Marist Italy would like to thank all who participated in the open call for the (IN)ANIMATE EXISTENCE: Reviving the Unused Exhibition.
This exhibition explores the transformation of discarded or non-functional objects into meaningful art, challenging the notions of consumerism and the value of utility.
Artists will delve into intangible and invaluable aspects of existence, reimagining our world for a better future. The selected works will breathe new life into what society deems purposeless, engaging with broader themes of sustainability, inclusion, and societal outcasts.
