In the Program of Workshops organized in collaboration with the Progetto Giovani of the Municipality of Milan.
Diego Esposito selected 6 young artists — Marianne Bowdler, Qikai Zhang, Uk-Sun Lee, Andrea Sala, Aris Provatàs, Giusi Campisi — who live in Milan and work in a transcultural environment such as that of the Accademia di Brera.
Marianne Bowdler, who comes from Australia, wishes us good luck with 52 four-leaf clovers she found, picked, and sealed in envelopes, ready for an infusion.
Qikai Zhang, through the sound of a bell and the tradition of Chinese calligraphy, establishes a connection with his culture.
Uk-Sun Lee exhibits his time machine; referencing the archetypal form of ancient Korean coffins, he invites us to imagine the passage.
Andrea Sala presents the enlargement of a project: in a map-gallery, there is a map-hammock.
Aris Provatàs, of Greek origin, presents a tribute to Mona Jatoum. Through an inspection of his personal intimacies, he reaches the organic center, which according to classical philosophy is the stomach.
Giusi Campisi seeks to create a communication between the gallery space and that of the adjacent factory.
