Arezzo | LAPIDARIUM
When: Until October 14, 2018
City: Arezzo
Where: Fortress Mediciea and in the city
This open-air exhibition includes the over 200 works by the artist Gustavo Aceves. The sculptures of the numerous horses were made of stone, bronze, resin, wood and other materials, and were set up in many places in the historic center of Arezzo (San Francesco, Sala Sant'Ignazio, Sagrato del Duomo, Piazza Vasari, Medici Fortress). Monumental horses sculpted in marble, bronze, iron, and resin over a six-years process offer a unique perspective on one of the most salient and controversial issues in human history: migration. Aceves is a self-taught artist who quickly built up a reputation as an influential painter working in Latin America.
Siena | MUSIC FOR THE EYES
This is not a show about the crossover elements—revolving around the visualization of music—that can be found both in the field of video art and in music videos made by artists and filmmakers

When: Until January 9, 2019
City: Arezzo
Where: Fondazione Ivan Bruschi
In celebration of the 50th year, the Antique Fair in Arezzo has scanned its archives and has created a story with images of the past.

Sansepolcro | LA SEDUZIONE DELLA PROSPETTIVA
When: Until January 6, 2019
City: Sansepolcro (Province: Arezzo)
Where: Museo Civico Piero Della Francesca
The exhibition presents the two souls of Piero della Francesca: refined painter and a great mathematician. The exhibition itinerary is organized around De prospectiva pingendi, a fundamental text for the development of the modern perspective of 1475. Through reconstructions of drawing instruments, facsimiles of codes, three-dimensional models and video, it aims to illustrate the mathematical research applied to painting of Piero and the legacy left to artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer, Daniele Barbaro and perspective theorists at least until the mid-sixteenth century.
Santa Maria della Scala | OBSCURE CLARTE’
Art by Li Chevalier
The artist Li Chevalier divides her life between two countries, France and China. She shows her ideas thanks to music and pictorial lightnesses.
