The word “canvas” was used for the first time in Italy in the 14th century and it has become the most common support medium for oil painting, replacing wooden panels. During the centuries, the canvas’ meaning has changed, starting from paintings, through the photographic and cinematographic film, exploring the human body, to the digital world. CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR, an international fair of photography, painting, video art, installation/sculpture, and performance art, was held in Venice at THE ROOM Contemporary Art Space.
