Treviso-based artist Silvio Gagno has joined and will participate on Saturday, October 4, 2025, in the Twenty-First Contemporary Art Day, the major event organized by AMACI since 2005. Gagno will open the doors of his studio at Vicolo Monfenera 5 in Treviso to collectors, friends, critics, and art lovers, offering an up-close experience of the complex and vibrant world of contemporary art.
The contemporary artist, the true artist, is relevant, but relevant in a disconnected, anachronistic way. He is always out of step with his contemporaries. As Agamben says: "A contemporary is someone who receives full-face the beam of darkness that comes from his time".
