It is now set to become an international reference point for the experimentation of multiple contemporary art languages. The mission of the Centro Pecci will in fact be to investigate all the various disciplines of contemporary culture, including also cinema, sound, performing arts, architecture, design, fashion and literature. Not just an exhibition venue, but also a versatile and transformable place, whose keywords will be "trans-disciplinary", "multiform", "multi-disciplinary" and "multi-medial".
