Week dedicated to drawing and works on paper, contemporary and 20th century, returns to Milan

From Saturday, November 19 to Sunday, November 27, 2022, Milano Drawing Week returns to the Lombard capital with its second edition. The event is presented by the Ramo Collection and is in collaboration with and under the patronage of theDepartment of Culture of the City of Milan. For nine days, the entire city celebrates drawing in a twelve-stage itinerary, including contemporary artists and masters of the 20th century; the dialogue between modern and contemporary passes through works on paper, in a series of exhibitions in collaboration with museums and galleries of the Milan urban network.

The itinerary of Milan Drawing Week 2022 includes Castello Sforzesco, Castiglioni, Ciaccia Levi, Clima Gallery, Galleria ZERO, Giò Marconi, Gregor Staiger, kaufmann repetto, Loom Gallery, Martina Simeti, OPR Gallery and Renata Fabbri, and features works by contemporary artists Stefano de Paolis, Zoe Williams, Vijay Masharani, Carlo and Fabio Ingrassia, Dasha Shishkin, Monster Chetwynd, Lily van der Stokker, Ignacio Uriarte, Alek O., Marta Roberti and Carlo Cossignani in dialogue with those of the great masters of the last century such as Fabio Mauri, Carol Rama, Lucio Fontana, Medardo Rosso, Mino Maccari, Massimo Campigli, Vincenzo Agnetti, Irma Blank, Giacomo Balla, Sandro Chia, Mario Radice and Adolfo Wildt.

" Milan Drawing Week, in its second edition, returns to excite and intrigue, confirming itself as an event of great interest to the city," says Irina Zucca Alessandrelli, curator of the Ramo Collection. “It is an annual opportunity to give this artistic practice the importance it deserves and the attention it has not yet been given. The dialogue between modern and contemporary is the starting point that continues to stimulate artists and audiences with new discoveries. Drawing fosters thinking like nothing else because as you draw you discover and as you look at the sign, you find the artist’s original idea in its authenticity. I am grateful to see confirmed support for the Milano Drawing Week, which the City of Milan and Councillor for Culture Tommaso Sacchi have supported since its inception. I am also grateful for the enthusiasm of the artists, the conservators of the Drawing Cabinet of Castello Sforzesco, and the support of contemporary art galleries. This new edition aims to show drawing as it has never been seen in the continuous search for new protagonists.” In fact, the collaboration with the Castello Sforzesco Drawings Cabinet, aimed at further confrontation with ancient drawing, is renewed again this year.

Ace, an engineering design company serving Design and Architecture, is a partner in the project.
