#ArtInTheCity “Working with Aldo allowed me from the very beginning to transform the vision I had in my mind into real images" with these words, Giorgio Armani refers to the long collaboration with Aldo Fallai that led to the exhibition "Aldo Fallai for Giorgio Armani 1977 – 2021", on view at Armani / Silos until August 11, 2024. The exhibition narrates almost thirty years of uninterrupted artistic dialogue between Giorgio Armani and Aldo Fallai, exploring the boundaries of a unique collaboration that defined the very essence of an aesthetic that has made its way into the collective imagination: the images are pure invention yet they capture a real instant, they are immediate, timeless, aspiring to portray the best life possible, with scenes and situations in which the spectator could see themselves. ___ Courtesy: Armani/Silos

Boyce embarked on a collaboration project with three students from the Conservatorio Gaetano Donizetti who were invited last autumn to perform and improvise popular songs in the heart of Bergamo’s “Città Alta.” This dialogue between Sonia Boyce and the students shows a great deal about the process that led to the staging of Benevolence, consisting of six “visual monuments” that will occupy the Sala delle Capriate in Palazzo della Ragione.

#ArtInTheCity In the venues of Museo del Novecento Milano, Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro presents "Off Script" the solo exhibition of Dutch artist Magali Reus winner of the 7th edition of the Arnaldo Pomodoro Sculpture Prize, on view until June 30, 2024. This exhibition, in collaboration with the Museo del Novecento and curated by Federico Giani, includes a selection of the artist's most recent sculptures, the Clementine series which take their visual cue from familiar jam and preserves jars. In these works the nostalgia of domestic food production is intertwined with the reality of mass production and distribution by multinational corporations; the re-appropriation and reuse of these objects within the domestic context transforms these jars into contradictory objects, containers of intimate and personal memories. __ Credits: Magali Reus.
