“CAREful Details” is not just a visual journey but above all an invitation to reflect on the importance of care and attention to detail in our daily lives. The powerful and evocative works on display encourage a dialogue between the visible and the invisible, pushing the public to examine not only the intrinsic meaning of “care or its absence” through the works of art, but also their relevance in the contemporary social context.
In contrast to contemporary individualistic tendencies, the exhibition also underlines the value of human relationships and community, affirming that every gesture of attention represents an opportunity to enrich our humanity and our shared space.

<<I don’t like roles, I love contemporary art that has a strong and current meaning – underlines the curator, the artist Arrigo Musti -. This is why I happen to choose to be not only an artist, but also a curator “for fun” and for this very reason I am committed to giving my best. This exhibition is a team effort that has produced an extraordinary visual and immersive journey through works by artists and thinkers of great importance>>.
