EXHIBITION
Night at the museum? Why not? If you are really ready for such a unique experience of passing an entire night at a museum all by yourself, do it in Milan. The Pirelli Hangar Bicocca Foundation, famous for its contemporary art and design events, offers a very particular experience of spending the whole night in an exhibition hall packed with lighting installations by Carsten Höller.
EXHIBITION
Do you know why “Biennale di Venezia” is called “Biennale”? I don’t. What I do know is that once every two years it organizes the world’s most important architectural event. This is the year when you can discover the latest design visions, building concepts and the most inspiring hints brought in from all over of our planet into a single place: the Venice Biennale.
EXHIBITION
A very unusual and precious exhibition has opened at La Triennale in Milan. The protagonist is the necklace telling visual stories and proudly claiming the supremacy of Italian jewelry in the world of fashion.
MUSEUM
Chic, mysterious and technologic. These are the first impressions that one person has entering the recently opened Prada Foundation in Milan. This new space for contemporary art is more than just a museum. Designed by the world renowned architect Rem Koolhaas, Fondazione Prada is a great (and reassuring) story that illustrates how an abandoned industrial space can turn into a precious (literally golden!) spot for art lovers.
ART IN MILAN
Did you know that Milan has a church that can easily compete with the famous Sistine Chapel depicted by Michelangelo? Apparently small and humble San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore located in Corso Magenta 13 (only 5 minutes walk from Duomo di Milano) veils perhaps the biggest artistic treasure of the city.
ART & EXHIBITIONS
Recently Hangar Bicocca in Milan has displayed extraordinary works of Madrid born artist Juan Munoz (1953-2001). Hundreds of anonymous human figures filled the dark and suggestive industrial space of the museum. The 15 most important installations signed by the Spanish sculptor brought evocative etudes on anxiety and loneliness issues, interaction games, physiological tricks and optical illusions, and involving spectators into these works of art.
EXPO 2015
Huge, 5 thousand sq.m big, Germany Pavilion designed by Schmidhuber architects is a landscape rich with ideas on future human nutrition.
EXPO 2015
This pavilion is a dramatic canyon-like space defined by undulating 12-metre-high walls. The whole structure evokes an image of sand dunes hosting suggestive narrow pedestrian streets and small courtyards typical of an ancient desert town of the United Arab Emirates.
