Infart Collective organises exhibitions and events that aim to promote urban culturerelated contemporary art in a non-conventional way.
The Infart project was born in 2007 with two two flash editions (respectively in June and September 2007) that saw the participation of some of the best emerging Italian street culture artists. Both of the two editions of the event were organised in pure underground style in a private home in Cittadella (Padova), that was made available for association through the whole weekend. The building was emptied out and turned into a 360 degrees art object for a selected number of amateurs and connoisseurs (that were selected and invited mainly via web) to enjoy some of the best street artists’ work realised directly within the architecture. The experiment did work indeed and the results were astonishing: within a very short time Infart was well-known all over Italy. The first edition included 600 visitors that came over mainly for fun, and turned into 1500 at the second edition in September.
The Infart Collective, pleasantly surprised and amused by the unexpected success, raised the bar and decided to involve the most established artists both in the national and European street culture scene for 2008: this is The Third Infart, a nationwide event with European guests, two public locations and a month long exhibition at the Civic Museum of Bassano del Grappa. The result: The Third Infart becomes the absolute n° 1 event for 2008 all over Italy, aligning Bassano del Grappa to Milan and Rome in terms of qualitative outcome and size of the project.
