BY ART MATTERS is pleased to announce its partnership with the Centro per l'Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci for the co-presentation of the group exhibition project 360°: why we paint? Conceived in two chapters, the project will commence in 2025 in Hangzhou, China, and continue in 2026 in Prato, Italy. Bringing together 39 artists from across the globe, each actively engaged in redefining and expanding the parameters of contemporary painting, the exhibition will feature over one hundred works produced since the year 2000. These works will be presented in response to the unique natural and cultural contexts of the two host cities and their respective institutions, offering a diverse and considered reflection on the evolving language of painting in the 21st century.
