The Novecento Museum in Florence is hosting a street art intervention for the first time in the loggia on the ground floor. A site-specific work that stems from Maurizio Nannucci's work displayed in the Florentine museum's cloister.

For the first time, the loggia on the ground floor of the Museo Novecento in Florence will host street art: Different Might be Everything, this is the title of the work by Kraita317, created in collaboration with Street Levels Gallery on Via Palazzuolo in Florence, which will be on view to the public from January 19 to February 18, 2024.

The intervention, conceived for the Museo Novecento and curated by Sofia Bonacchi and Strett Levels Gallery, is a site-specific work that stems from considerations of Maurizio Nannucci’s 1988 work Everything Might Be Different, exhibited in the cloister of the Museo Novecento: the street art work in fact reverses the semantic order of the words chosen by Nannucci. The new motto, “Everything Might Be Different,” is meant to indicate street art’s desire for recognition.

Kraita317 is one of the main protagonists of the Florentine urban art movement in recent years. An active member of the Romanian ANS crew since the late 2000s, in 2018 he left his hometown of BraÈ™ov to move to Florence. This change of context is significant and triggers a rapid and steady evolution in his style, both in line and color selection, moving from figurative to abstract. Kraita317’s abstract and synthetic works intend to refer to introspective and personal dialogues that exclude the use of words, relying on the ability of essential forms and primary colors to evoke complex sensations and deep feelings.
