Parallax
The16th edition of Drawing Now Art Fair celebrates the exceptional nature of some contemporary proposals through the Parallax route!
In March 2023, a new circuit will be initiated within the various spaces of the fair.
Entitled Parallax, this new proposal will allow visitors a different look at the work of artists with a particularly innovative work that deserves context.
The concept
Parallax refers to the effect that the position of the observer has on the object being observed. Over time, we change our perspective on history, which not only gives more color to the past, but also to the present, and, eventually, to the future.
Thus, the Parallax journey is not simply an incursion into the past, but also an awareness of the exceptional or paradigmatic character of certain contemporary proposals. This allows visitors to open their eyes to drawing and contemporary art, through it, in a more informed way.
Thus we can "make history" by mobilizing visitors, professional or amateur, around a work whose exceptional character could have gone unnoticed.
The Parallaxe tour thus proposes works that can enrich our view of contemporary drawing, broadening the horizon of this rich discipline.
