Concept view of the cultural venue

WORKING TITLE / SEASON 01 — NOV 2026 / MAR 2027

BASQUIAT

ART / MUSIC / PEOPLE

02THE IDEA

NON STIAMO CREANDO UNA DISCOTECA.

THE VENUE
IS THE
ARTWORK.

Stiamo creando un luogo nel quale arte, musica e persone producono continuamente cultura.

03THE SPACE

ONE ROOM.
MANY
LANGUAGES.

THE ROOM IS NEVER FINISHED.

01

Living wall

A collective surface that changes every week.

02

The room

Projection, sound and light contaminate everything.

03

Photo lab

An installation—not a standard photobooth.

04

Small stage

Poetry, live music, talks, open mic and performance.

Hands drawing on the evolving living wall
04THE LIVING WALL

LEAVE
SOMETHING
HERE.

Guests write, draw, leave phrases and marks. Week by week, the wall evolves—and every layer is photographed and documented.

Experimental projections transform the room
05VIDEO ART / LIGHT

THE ROOM
MOVES.

Projection contaminates walls, ceiling, artworks, people and DJ booth. Light changes the perception of space: warm ambience, precise accents, shadow and image—not generic RGB.

06PHOTO LAB

EVERYONE
BECOMES
PART OF THE
EXHIBITION.

Direct flash, a hand-drawn surface, a mirror, one sculptural object and an iconic light. A shareable image emerges naturally.

The signature VISIONI format. One artist, a DJ set, live visuals and a room full of people.

ART + DJ SET + VISUALS + PEOPLE

08FRIDAY FORMAT / BY VISIONI

THE
BOX

NOT THE VENUE NAME.

THE BOX is the Friday signature: ART + DJ SET + VISUALS + PEOPLE.

A pre-existing VISIONI format, activated every Friday inside the venue.

09EXHIBITION MODEL

ONE ARTIST
ONE MONTH.

One artist receives a personal exhibition and four-Friday residency. The artist stays constant; music, visuals and interventions evolve.
