The space floats in a suspended time, inhabited by the sun's rays and the moving shadows that dominate the surrounding architectures. The audience crosses a timeless place, where time is different, where sunrise and sunset meet, the suns are multiple and the twilight drowns in a stroboscopic dawn. A 360 degree video-mapping that, thanks to the use of 49 video projectors, simulates the movement of the sun around and inside the hall of the Salone degli Incanti in Trieste.

Young artist Marcos Anziani born in Dominican and based in New York brings a new breathe into the highly esteemed neo-expressionism. His artistic dialect is close to that of such artists as Willem de Kooning, Joan Miro and Jean Michel Basquiat. In each of paintings, Marcos aims to 'curb' the energy of color within the framework of a canvas. He combines abstract forms with primitivist images of people and objects done in simple lines.
Various, mostly warm, colors balance the artistic chaos of forms in Marcos' paintings. His compositions remind us of Kandinskiy's abstractions. Marcos is actively evolving as an artist and seeks for an art that would continue the ways of the great artists of the XXth century.
Anziani understands painting as a means of expressing his emotions and thoughts. While working, he imagines himself being inside the painting and concentrates on one particular image or idea, finds a way to express them through painting and then develops the whole painting around them. He builds the composition from the inside, fully giving himself to it, and that produces actually sincere 'portraits' of the inner feelings of the artist, prints of the fly of his imagination.
Marcos Anziani is exclusively represented by ASKERI GALLERY in Russia

“Meditation will save us from the machine; art will save us from ourselves. I believe in the healing and transformational power of visual art + sound + meditation on an individual and a social level.
Our future is unknown and unstable. There are difficult times ahead due to social and economic unrest due to pandemic risk, digital disruption, automation and climate change. Collective fear is undeniable, but we cannot allow ourselves to be dominated by fear — we must face the unknown with open hearts and mindfulness. In chaos, there is creative opportunity. We must create a better future with compassion and love.
My collaboration with Efren Mur (video artist) and Ligovskoï (electronic music band) was created during the COVID-19 crisis. Our purpose is to present a vision of meditativeness and digital beauty to collective consciousness. The world is forever changed, and we must adapt with mindfulness, self care and connection to creative energy that will help us navigate the unknown.”
Photographer Tim Tadder speaks out for himself on his new project Black is a Color - “Black is a color demands that we look past skin tone, & into beautiful, infinitely complex humans whose lives matter equally. Black is a beautiful color & intrinsically linked to my own liberation as an artist.”
“When primary colors are mixed at equal parts, black is ultimately the precipitating color. During the process, an imperial display of tones appears in the swirling to mirror powerful structure & emotion from the subjects. At a crucial time for the nation to unite, I hope this collection encourages empathy, unity & a non-binary view of race. Black is a color challenges one to see past profiling & foresee the beauty that is capable of elevating the human experience. Black is a color demands that we look past skin tone, & into beautiful, infinitely complex humans.”
