ENERGIA CREATIVA

Creative Energy The exhibition – under the patronage of the Municipality of Prato, the Tuscany Region and in partnership with the Education Department of the “Luigi Pecci” Center for Contemporary Art and the Educational Section of the Textile Museum – is proposed as a space where the artist he is an animator who invites the visitor to listen to his own individuality and creativity to in turn become the protagonist of an installation that aims at collective participation.
The works presented, in fact, are interactive installations that come to life with the active, tactile and physical participation of visitors of all ages. The invitation to the public is therefore to interact, to touch, to move in space, to feel free, creative and, above all, to have fun, playing, assembling, wrapping, disassembling
The exhibition is, an ever-changing space of art, play and conviviality.
