Contemporary art day and Private Flat in Florence

This weekend is looking really exciting on the contemporary art front in Florence. Saturday October 9th is national “Contemporary Art Day” in Italy and there are various events in Tuscany taking place (follow that link for details specific to Florence and Tuscany).

At the same time (and obviously related), I’m really looking forward to Private Flat, an annual event that allows you to peek into peoples’ houses while ostensibly looking at the 70 artists’ work installed there. Over three days this weekend (October 8-9-10), follow the map provided on the private flat website to explore what your contemporaries are doing in Florence. Friday spaces will be available from 16-21, while saturday and sunday from 10-20. I’ll be trying to go to as many as possible while still working around other plans – namely a marvellous cheese-based dinner in the countryside from my friends at De Gustibus !
