Speed - A Arte da Velocidade

14.07.2007 Fiat BRAZIL PRESENTS an art exhibition Speed - A Arte da Velocidade

A glimpse of the art, the design and the technology that makes up the embracing vision of speed, that is the proposal of the new exhibition by Fiat Brazil, Speed - A Arte da Velocidade, which is being shown from now until 30th September.

The exhibition is being held in the Casa Fiat de Culturaa, a not-for-profit institution supported by Fiat Auto and other companies of the Fiat Group in Brazil. Entrance is free. This modern venue was inaugurated by Fiat Brazil in 2006, allowing it to apply its wide-ranging resources mainly in the area of cultural activities. In a space covering 1,400 square meters, are being approached aspects of the arts which are related to the concept of speed over the years, and making possible the understanding of this evocative movement in arts, habits and in the setting of modern life.

A collection of unique and poignant 183 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, films, pictures, and of course the vehicles themselves that represent icons of design and technology, such as the Fiat 2300 S coupe from 1961, right up to an F1 World Championship winning Ferrari driven by Michael Schumacher.
