An exhibition organized by IED Firenze and the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi that explores the multifaceted nature of time through the artworks of seven artists

The Tilt of Time is an exhibition organized by IED Firenze and the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi that explores the multifaceted nature of time through the artworks of Giulio Aldinucci, Fabrizio Ajello and Francesco D’Isa, Chiara Bettazzi, Alessandro Gandolfi, Jacopo Jenna and Namsal Siedlecki.

The project is created in a dialogue with the show Anish Kapoor. Untrue Unreal and marks the third year of collaboration between the Master in Curatorial Practice at IED Firenze and the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi. The project is coordinated by Daria Filardo (IED) and Martino Margheri (Fondazine Palazzo Strozzi), with curatorial development by the class of the 2022/23 Master, Georgina Anastasi, Victoria Cassone, Hailey Conway, Patricia Hale-Siedler, Sneha Harish Chaturani, Solomiia Hrebeniak-Dubova, Alisa Kanevskiy, Catarina Mel, Emma Miles e Alexandra Skilnick. 

The project investigates six research areas that range from the transformation of objects and their meanings over time and in history, to the current role of artificial intelligence in image creation and its relationship with the visual arts, touching on the geopolitical tensions of our present.

The exhibition takes place at IED Firenze, Via Bufalini 6r, from monday to friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and is accompanied by a program of performances at the Strozzina in Palazzo Strozzi.
