The latest edition of the Biennale, whose theme was “Ethics: DNA of Art”, hosted over 25 Events in the Event throughout the city, and it was attended by hundreds of artists and thousands of visitors, gaining the enthusiastic approval of participating artists and the public.
The IX Florence Biennale is titled Ethics: DNA of Art and it marks the beginning of a series of editions that will draw inspiration from the principles found in the Ethical Charter of the New Millennium Artist.
This document was presented at the XXXIII World Congress of UNESCO Centers, which took place in Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio on March 11th 2013, when it was ratified by all of the participating NGOs.
It represents an important achievement for the Florence Biennale, which had already been recognized in 2001 by the UN as an official partner of the Project “Dialogue Among Civilizations”.
This editions’ theme represents the Biennale’s new
mission: to offer a critique of the relationship between art and ethics and of the role of the arts in the new millennium. It is from this perspective that the Biennale will explore new frontiers in order to re-establish artistic culture to a central role in the contemporary world.
The Award “Lorenzo Il Magnifico” was presented to internationally renowned individuals such as Anish Kapoor, Franco Mussida e Henryk Jurkowski.
