Clearly focused on the contemporary, Cardi Black Box is an independent gallery with an almost ‘museum-like’ vocation for its similar commitment to researching, supporting artists in the production of new works, and collaborating with other cultural institutions at an international level. The key feature of Cardi Black Box corresponds to the decision of providing the gallery with an artistic direction, just like a cultural institution. Influenced by over 30-years Cardi galleries experience, we gave a new direction and fresh energy to our path as art professional, investing our total commitment and passion in this field. The name of the project corresponds to our choice to identify with “the content” of the gallery rather than with its physical space: black is the colour obtained by overlapping layers of paint but also forms, images, thoughts, ideas and experiences. Our programme alternates exhibitions by established artists with shows by younger ones, emerging on the international scene. The gallery represents also ‘historical’ figures whose work has strongly influenced the new generations. In addition Cardi Black Box hosts curated group exhibitions or solo shows with artists that are not necessarily gallery artists but whose work has a fundamental role in relation to the contemporary art practice and theory. Besides its unique commitment to artists, institutions and collectors, the gallery aims to be widely accessible to the general public by means of dedicated brochures, comprehensive wall texts and a series of gallery talks involving artists, critics, curators and different figures from the cultural world.
