Courtyard conversations<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n\n

Every Saturday afternoon from 3.00 to 6.00 pm, students from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze and the Art History programme at the University of Florence engage visitors in informal conversations about this \u201ctimeless sculpture\u201d. These encounters offer an opportunity to explore the artist\u2019s practice, his approach to sculpture and the way in which his large-scale installation relates to the exhibition itinerary at Palazzo Strozzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free activity; no booking required.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Saturday 10 October 2026 to Saturday 23 January 2027<\/strong>
Courtyard Conversations will not take place on Saturday 26 December.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biography<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n\n

Mark Manders (Volkel, the Netherlands, 1968) lives and works in Ronse, Belgium. Developed through sculpture, installation, drawing and architecture, his practice is based on the idea of a continuously expanding self-portrait: spaces, figures and objects appear to belong to a single evolving work, suspended between archaeology, memory and imagination. Manders represented the Netherlands at the 55th Venice Biennale (2013) with Room with Broken Sentence<\/em> and has exhibited at major international institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Louvre in Paris, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich and the Bonnefanten in Maastricht.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n
