E.A. KAHANE: HEART OF THE RACE, Master Mechanics of the Mille Miglia
April 25–September 26, 2027
Behind the glitz of Italy’s legendary “thousand-mile race” is a team of men and women whose skill, sweat, and savvy sustain the iconic spectacle of speed. In honor of the 100th anniversary of the first Mille Miglia race, photographer E.A. KAHANE shifts the lens from vintage sports cars to the master mechanics who keep them running. Through evocative black-and-white images, Kahane honors 80 mechanics from around the globe whose generational knowledge and late-night grit sustain this five-day, grueling journey from Brescia to Rome and back again year after year. Featuring over 100 photographs, this exhibition captures the excitement, chaos, and beauty of one of the world’s most renowned classic automotive events, while paying tribute to the human hands behind the machine.
E.A. KAHANE: HEART OF THE RACE is organized by Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design and curated by Virginia Shearer, executive director.
This exhibition is made possible, in part, with generous support from:

Sarasota Art Museum to present exhibition showcasing iconic works by 20th-century photography titans
Photographs are, as the theorist Roland Barthes wrote, “certificates of presence,” verification that a moment, a person or a place existed. From the adoration of a loved one or the wonder felt before nature to the hardship of labor or the devastation of war, photographs can be imprinted with the totality of human experiences.
