exhibition · 2026-04-27

Giuseppe Veneziano, an artist and teacher born in 1971, presents his first solo exhibition of crypto art in a public space in Italy, titled "Giuseppe Veneziano. 10 NFT." The exhibition is spread across Cernobbio, near Como, and runs until January 8, 2023. It features ten NFT works, five of which are displayed along streets in the historic Borgo antico (via Cavallotti, via Fumagalli, via XX Settembre, and piazza Galli), four at La Cernobbina Art Studio, and one at the Museo di Villa Bernasconi, accompanied by a short film. The works reinterpret masterpieces from Western art history by artists such as Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Van Gogh, Dalì, and Cattelan, using technology to add movement and sound, creating a pop and irreverent vision. Examples include "The Selfie of Vincent" and "Zlatan Pantocratore." Curated by Aldo Premoli, the exhibition engages with the broader debate on technology's role in perception and cultural change in a liquid society.
