THE UNICREDIT'S CONTEMPORARY TIMES
Six young artists, "lost time and gained time" as their theme, the metal sheet of trams as their canvas, two juries, only one winner. All this is Contemporary Times, a two-stage project devised and developed by the UniCredit group. In the heat of a Roman summer the artists, Emila Sirakova, Marco Minotti, Giovanni Manzoni Piazzalunga, Thomas Berra, Marco De Rosa and Angelo Genova (Crazyone), selected by curator Angela Loveday, executed their works on the sides of 3 trams that for 28 days travelled the streets of the Eternal City with the amazing surprise of the citizen.
The Facebook's vote and the expert jury have determined the winner.
Thomas Berra, 26, an artist with a style that is simple yet rich in a profound, almost narrative symbology, is the winner of the prize, a solo exhibition in MyOwnGallery.
Thomas Berra, In search of lost time and gained time, My OwnGallery, 25 October – 7 November.
Opening 24 October from 18.30.
