Curated by Luciano Inga Pin, Area aims to present eleven young artists who, for about two years, have focused their work on the transformation of production mechanisms in post-industrial society and its territory, on phenomena connected to the evolution of the service sector, on the lettering of new technologies—with the rigor of an abstraction suited to the urban model of our metropolises.

This line of research, which in different circumstances and other contexts has been labeled “Neo-geometry,” “Neo-minimalism,” “Cool painting,” and so on… could not, at least in our view, develop anywhere but within the Milanese context. This is because it is in this territory that changes in life and productivity emerge most clearly, displacing all previous models.

For this exhibition, eleven artists have been invited, each represented by four Milanese galleries that, for a couple of seasons now, have aimed to prioritize these lines of research on both cultural and economic levels.

Gianni Asdrubali is represented by Studio Artra; Stefano Arienti and Massimo Kaufmann by Studio Guenzani; Luigi Carboni, Marco Mazzucconi, and Alfredo Pirri by Studio Marconi 17; Libero Acerbi, Fausto Bertasa, Marco Cingolai, Tito Maffei, and Antonella Mazzoni by Galleria Diagramma.
