Trussardi will bring hundreds of works by 70 major artists to the streets of Milan

Seventy big names in contemporary art on the streets of Milan, for two weeks, in conjunction with Miart, Art Week and Design Week. This is the project that Fondazione Nicola Trussardi is organizing from April 8, 2024, for two weeks. A widespread exhibition, entitled Italia 70 - I nuovi mostri, curated by Massimiliano Gioni, to bring art back to the streets of Milan by disseminating hundreds of images made by 70 artists.

In fact, it was 2004 when, with I nuovi mostri - Una storia italiana, the Foundation had disseminated hundreds of posters made by sixteen young Italian artists among the streets of Milan, from the center to the suburbs: an anthology of looks at Italy and its changing identity that became an irreverent occupation of public spaces. Exactly 20 years after that experiment - among the first forays with which the Nicola Trussardi Foundation began to bring contemporary art to the most unexpected places in the city - the Foundation is returning to that format, this time involving 70 artists working in Italy, including great masters and emerging talents, for a public art intervention that develops and expands the idea of a mobile museum with which the Fondazione Nicola Trussardi has long been transforming the city into a large stage for contemporary art.

The 70 artists involved have each been invited by the Foundation to produce a new image or to choose a special work to be reproduced on hundreds of posters: all the images created will therefore be the protagonists of a massive public billboard campaign that will paper the streets and squares and involve insiders and onlookers in a treasure hunt from one end of the city to the other, drawing a new map of Milan, from the Monumental Cemetery to the Historic Center, from City Life to Porta Romana. Together, the images of Italia 70 intend to compose a temporary collection of open-air art: a metropolitan museum, hidden among commercial communications, reflecting the desires and anxieties of today’s Italy.

These participating artists are: 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.
