Anna Helena Cazzani is one of the artists chosen by curator Roc Laseca to perform a solo project in the Platform sector of the 13th edition of Pinta Miami, USA.

In this edition, Pinta Platform has gathered a group of six individual projects that highlight the role assumed by art in new perception models, within the extensive moment of change that explains the post-human emergency in which we are immersed. Special interest is dedicated to projects that explore materiality, and focus on the groundwork of two dimensionality. The six Platforms of Pinta Miami 2019 present contrasting spaces that address the concern for molding certainties (aesthetic, cosmic, physical and historical) within this turn that has put in check the presumption of humanity, production, and the status quo.“ Curated by Roc Laseca Roc Laseca.
