Davide Maria Coltro's 'Astrazione Mediale' at Brera: Books as Art

exhibition · 2026-04-30

Davide Maria Coltro, pioneer of 'Quadro Mediale', presents 'Astrazione Mediale – Filiazioni' at the Pinacoteca di Brera. The project explores the boundary between a simple book, an artist's catalog, and a genuine artwork. Coltro's research redefines painting through technology, creating dynamic images that evolve over time. Each book in the series is a unique, constantly updatable piece of electronic painting. The exhibition runs at Brera, though specific dates are not provided.
