October 27 – November 30 2023

IED Firenze, via Bufalini 6r

The Tilt of Time is a collective exhibition that explores the multiform nature of time through the work of seven artists: Giulio Aldinucci, Fabrizio Ajello e Francesco D’Isa, Chiara Bettazzi, Alessandro Gandolfi, Jacopo Jenna, Namsal Siedlecki.

The Tilt of Time was devised to tie in with the exhibition Anish Kapoor. Untrue Unreal at Palazzo Strozzi and marks the third year of collaboration between IED Florence‘s Master in Curatorial Practice and the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi. The project, The Tilt of Time, is coordinated by Daria Filardo (IED) and Martino Margheri (Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi) with curatorial development from the Master’s class of 2022/23, Georgina Anastasi, Victoria Cassone, Hailey Conway, Patricia Hale-Siedler, Sneha Harish Chaturani, Solomiia Hrebeniak-Dubova, Alisa Kanevskiy, Catarina Mel, Emma Miles and Alexandra Skilnick.

The exhibition will take place in the spaces of IED Florence and will be accompanied by a program of performances at Palazzo Strozzi in the spaces of Strozzina.

The exhibition

Time, in its various forms and meanings—cyclical, eternal, present, linear, fragmented, distorted, biological, and personal—has been a subject of analysis in philosophy, religion, science, and art throughout every era. The Tilt of Time investigates six directions of research and suggests reflections ranging from the transformation of objects and their meanings over time and history, to the current role of artificial intelligence in image creation and its relationship with the visual arts, to touching on the geopolitical tensions of our present. The exhibition also includes the language of performance and music, which by their own nature, not only live in time, but also organize, compress or expand it.
