The 10th edition of the Florence Biennale – International Contemporary Art Exhibition featured more than 1,300 works of art by 423 artists from 62 countries, and received nearly 10,000 visitors. In the Installation category, the First Prize award went to Theo Lenartz, from the Netherlands, Second Prize to Emma Willemse from South Africa and Malgorzata Buczeck, from Poland, and Third Prize fro Carlos Chacín, from Colombia. The international jury deciding on the wards was comprised of Elza Ajzenberg, Dominique Baechler, RB Bhaskaran, Francesco Buranelli, Pasquale Celona, Gregorio Luke, Maty Roca, Naoki Dan, Huang Du, Karen Lang, and Enrico Vergnano, charged with conferring the "Lorenzo il Magnifico" International Award in such disciplines as painting, installation, works on paper, mixed media, photography, digital art, ceramics, textile art, art jewelry, and video art. With the 2015 edition, the Museo Bolivariano de Arte Contemporáneo Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino Foundation became an honorary member of the Biennale, and this year it led the support for Carlos Chacín presence at the prestigious event. Carlos Chacín's Fototropia is intent on publicizing a type of conflict that has expanded on different geographical areas of Colombia. The artist's voice emerges from a singular, personal jolt, born from his native environment, which finds itself increasingly reproduced in a global scale. Chacín studied at the Santa Marta Art School. In 1993 he traveled to Bogotá and attended the Mixed Media and Painting workshop at the sectional National University. In the late 1990s, he studied painting for three years at the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro, in Havana, Cuba.
