POSTERINTHECITY. A project for remembering Pasquale Leccese
The Office for Art in Public Spaces –Milano Arte Pubblica wish to restart an initiative curated by Pasquale Leccese, gallery owner and central figure in the contemporary art world not only in Milan, which had been interrupted following his death in August last year. Several hundred posters, by nine authors, will be visible in several sposts of the city, to remember through the images of some of the artists who worked with him, one of the main protagonists of the city's vibrant art scene in the 1980s, 1990s and even beyond. The project was made possible thanks to the generous collaboration of Pasquale Leccese's family.

PUBLIC ART FOR EXPOSURE
The creation landmark murals continues with a new intervention in Affori, in the square of the Affori Centro metro station.

During Art Week it will be possible to follow the painting phases of the mural, the most exciting phase of work in which an anonymous wall is transformed into a public work of art.

ITALIA 70 – I NUOVI MOSTRI
The Fondazione Nicola Trussardi will once again emblazon the streets of Milan, this time with works by seventy artists for “ITALIA 70 – I NUOVI MOSTRI,” curated by Massimiliano Gioni, from April 8, 2024—on the occasion of miart, Milan’s international modern and contemporary art fair, and the city’s Art Week and Design Week. In 2004, the Foundation’s “I NUOVI MOSTRI (Life is Beautiful)” project spread across the streets of Milan—from the city center to the suburbs. Thousands of posters created by sixteen young Italian artists depicted an anthology of visions of Italy and its multifaceted identity and irreverently took over public spaces. Twenty years after this early venture into bringing contemporary art to unexpected places around the city, Fondazione Nicola Trussardi is returning to that same format. The latest iteration involves seventy artists working in Italy, including established as well as up-and-coming artists, in a public art project that continues to expand the Fondazione Nicola Trussardi’s mobile museum, which, for the past two decades, has been turning the city of Milan into a boundless stage for contemporary art. The seventy artists have each been invited by the Foundation to create a new work or choose a particular image of theirs to be multiplied on hundreds of posters. The public poster campaign will take over the streets and squares and involve both locals and visitors in a “treasure hunt” of sorts from one end of the city to the other—drawing a new map of Milan from the Monumental Cemetery and old city center to CityLife and Porta Romana. Together, the posters of “ITALIA 70 – I NUOVI MOSTRI” make up a temporary collection of art en plein air: a metropolitan museum camouflaged among the billboard advertisements and reflecting the desires and anxieties of Italy today. Artists: Yuri Ancarani, Giulia Andreani, Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Meris Angioletti, Marina Apollonio, Stefano Arienti, Micol Assaël, Vanessa Beecroft, Marco Belfiore, Elisabetta Benassi, Ruth Beraha, Simone Berti, Tomaso Binga, Monica Bonvicini, Lupo Borgonovo, Chiara Camoni, Ambra Castagnetti, Guglielmo Castelli, Maurizio Cattelan, Giulia Cenci, Francesco Clemente, Danilo Correale, Roberto Cuoghi, Enrico David, Patrizio di Massimo, Binta Diaw, Sara Enrico, Chiara Enzo, Alessandra Ferrini, Linda Fregni Nagler, Giuseppe Gabellone, Elisa Giardina Papa, Piero Golia, Massimo Grimaldi, Petrit Halilaj, Adelita Husni Bey, Luisa Lambri, Armin Linke, Lorenza Longhi, Marcello Maloberti, Margherita Manzelli, Diego Marcon, Masbedo, Jacopo Miliani, Daniele Milvio, Alek O., Adrian Paci, Giulio Paolini, Giuseppe Penone, Diego Perrone, Alessandro Pessoli, Gabriele Picco, Paola Pivi, Maria Rapicavoli, Michele Rizzo, Pietro Roccasalva, Giangiacomo Rossetti, Andrea Salvino, Arcangelo Sassolino, Alessandro Sciarroni, Marinella Senatore, Elisa Sighicelli, Rudolf Stingel, Grazia Toderi, Patrick Tuttofuoco, Grazia Varisco, Nico Vascellari, Francesco Vezzoli, Sislej Xhafa, Shafei Xia.

CORPI CELESTI. El Conde de Torrefiel
Graveyards are towns, like all other towns: there is a center and a periphery, rich areas and poor areas, well-known people and lesser-known people. For this year’s FOG festival, the visionary group from Spain El Conde de Torrefiel presents an audio guide through the stories and the characters of the Cimitero Monumentale in Milan. Participants will discover what secrets are hidden in this dormant town, following an eclectic audio track inviting them to explore a set which can be both unsettling and emotional, in which several lives have succeeded one another over the centuries and which could still have something today.

Dan Graham. The Passing Time City
A tribute to Dan Graham (Urbana, 1942 – New York, 2022), one of the most important artists on an international level. The focus is on pavilions, works created since the 1980s, at the intersection between art and architecture. Visitable and accessible, the pavilions, constructed in steel and glass (mirrored or semi-reflective), create an environmental dimension that challenges the viewer’s perception and their relationship with space.
