Dopo il successo della 2ª Florence Annual International Art Exhibition (2025), ospitata a Palazzo Bellini della famiglia Bellini, l’edizione 2025/2026 di “GENERATIVE METAMORPHOSIS” – 3rd Florence Annual International Art Exhibition inaugurerà ufficialmente il 23 gennaio 2026, con apertura al pubblico fino al 29 gennaio. La mostra si svolgerà presso CASA ABITATA, nel cuore storico di Firenze: un contesto urbano stratificato nei secoli, in cui le pratiche più avanzate dell’arte contemporanea vengono messe in dialogo serrato con la memoria e l’eredità culturale della città, delineando un campo di confronto ad alta intensità tra tradizione e futuro.

I. Evaluation Principles

1. Academic Orientation Principle Evaluation is primarily based on the academic depth of the work, methodological coherence, and professional level of completion.

2. Thematic Alignment Principle Special emphasis is placed on how effectively the work interprets, translates, and articulates the theme “Generative Metamorphosis.”

3. Originality and Innovation Principle Original inquiry and effective innovation in concept, medium, narrative, technique, or exhibition format are strongly encouraged.

4. Professionalism and Procedural Integrity Principle The evaluation process follows unified standards, standardized procedures, and collective deliberation to ensure expertise, fairness, and transparency.

5. International Dialogue Principle Priority is given to works with cross-cultural legibility, international communication potential, and public-discourse relevance.
