Chambres, the showroom of mH Florence & Spa
“Florence has always been a place rich in art and culture“, says the initiator of the initiative Irene Vezzosi, hotel manager. “Our desire with this project is to create a continuum between the atmosphere that the tourist experiences when visiting the city and the atmosphere that he breathes when returning to the hotel. The encounter with the artists Pantani-Surace and Paolo Parisi made the realization possible. The idea was driven by the desire to create a space dedicated to beauty and the expression of ideas, intended for the exhibition of emerging artists. a space where the sobriety of our surroundings combines with the creativity of art. Selected Works”. continues Vezzosi, “They tell of a constantly evolving reality and reflect the artistic tendencies of young people. The goal is to make the hotel a venue for both artistic and secular events, accessible to both the city and passing tourists“.

rooms. The ideas of the curators Pantani-Surace and Paolo Parisi
“The hotel is not one of those places where one specifically seeks art, such as museums or private galleries, but where one goes out of necessity or leisure‘ comment project curators Pantani-Surace and Paolo Parisi. “Bearing in mind the experiences in this direction that were made in the specific field of art between the 80s and 90s of the last century, we believe that this is all the more the case today, in a socio-economic context that has shown its limits in many respects Can the encounter between this innocent gaze and the artworks of the new generations, which makes us think about new ways of relating between ourselves and the existence of art, be mutual nourishment and practice methods of a comprehensive expansion of the field of action? share the languages of art. Going forward, the project also intends to explore the areas closest to training, mixing participants’ pathways and curricula“.
