2019 Contemporary Art Day.Graziadei Photography Award

Carlo Scarpa Hall – free admittance until full capacity

A meeting to discover and study the work of the winners of the last two editions of the Award, Alba Zari and Alessandro Calabrese.

On the occasion of the 2019 Contemporary Art Day, MAXXI celebrates the collaboration with the Graziadei photography award, which has been promoted by the law firm Graziadei Studio Legale since 2012 and that, starting this year, enters fully into the scheduling of the Museum’s photography activities.

The Graziadei photography award was founded in 2012 from an Graziadei Studio Legale’s initiative with the dual objective of promoting the work of young Italian artists and endorsing it over time. Awarded by an international panel that changes each year, the Award is assigned to an under-35 artist who participates with an already completed project and who is simultaneously commissioned to create a new work to be developed during the following year.
