“Art knows how to invent solutions that can overcome difficulties. Called by the Art Screen, artists immediately joined in by making their films available. To them goes our most sincere gratitude. Art is always the result of urgency. An intimate expressive urgency that gives creative responses in the form of a work to the stresses of the time. Through its own tools, art generates reflection and sociality by becoming collectively owned. Today that broad and open dimension is nullified, replaced by a new kind of collective emergency with potentially devastating social consequences. This is what we want to react to. If museums, foundations, exhibitions and theaters close, if initiatives are postponed, it is necessary to give a strong signal and bring art into people’s daily lives so that culture continues to nourish the soul and the gaze.”
