Cardi Black Box is an independent contemporary art gallery, born as a private cultural institution with an almost ‘museum-like’ vocation for its commitment to researching and supporting artists in the production of new works and collaborating with other cultural institutions whose interest is completely addressed to contemporary art at an international level. Eclectic and versatile, with its activities Cardi Black Box promotes established and emerging artists.
In a short time Cardi Black Box has established itself as a project of high quality and has become a reference point in the international art world through its experimental and innovative approach. Ready to surpass the traditional concept of an art gallery to adopt new ways of operating in the market, giving an unedited direction to its path, while treasuring the experience coming from thirty years of activity of the historical Cardi gallery.
Cardi Black Box is characterized by the peculiar model proposed, based on the coexistence of its double mission - culture and business oriented - whose aim is to give recognition to quality regardless of the origin or the age of the artists, in the conviction that a private and commercial space can also stage high quality exhibitions.
A challenge - also at an entrepreneurial level - that has been well understood by the world of the collectors, in a field that sees its audience every day more and more conscious, mature and demanding. The name “Black Box” corresponds to the choice of identifying with the content of the exhibitions the gallery stages rather than the architectonic space of the gallery: black is the colour obtained by the superimposition of layers of painting but also of shapes, images, thoughts, ideas and experiences.
The exhibition program thus far alternated between established artists - historical figures who have influenced the newer generations - and younger artists emerging on the international scene. The gallery also hosted solo and group shows of artists that Cardi Black Box does not represent exclusively but whose work has a fundamental role in the contemporary art world.
