Florence Biennale Launches Art Suite with Flóra Borsi Exhibition at Anglo American Hotel
From September 10 to October 10, 2026, the Florence Biennale introduces Art Suite, a contemporary art project located at the Anglo American Hotel Florence. The initiative kicks off with "Animeyed," a solo showcase by Hungarian artist Flóra Borsi, born in 1993, featuring ten artworks that blend human and animal features. One of these pieces will be placed in a suite accessible to guests. Borsi, who has previously served as Guest of Honour at the XIII Florence Biennale, has displayed her work globally, including at the Louvre. Recognized in Forbes' 30 Under 30, she has also partnered with Adobe. A preview event on September 9 will include culinary delights from Leonardo Biscotti and a special cocktail for the exhibition.
