The Relationships beyond Images

Art, Architecture, Urban Regeneration

Conference – Day Three

Triennale Milano, Viale Emilio Alemagna, 6 Milan

9 November 2019, 10.30 am-6 pm

A project by ArtLine Milano in collaboration with Triennale Milano

Triennale Milano hosts the third appointment of “The Relationships beyond Images” (Le Relazioni oltre le Immagini) program, a series of conferences exploring the current trends in public art and analyzing their relation with contemporary social space. This series is part of the “ArtLine Milano” public program, a City of Milan public art project based in the CityLife Park.

How can the artwork interact with public space, while remaining an unexpected and distinct element? How can the alliance between art and architecture change our perception of the territory?

The aim of this conference day is to examine, through the analysis of historical and contemporary case studies, the function of site-specific sculptural interventions in the urban landscape – both in the design phase and in the fruition people might make of it daily – also considering these interventions’ potential cultural and social effects, and economic impact on the territory.

Speakers: Kasper König, artistic director of “Skulptur Projekte Münster”; Akiko Miki, international artistic director of “Benesse Art Site di Naoshima”; Piero Gilardi, artist and theorist, political activist and youth culture leader; Lorenza Baroncelli, urbanist, researcher and artistic director of Triennale Milano; Alterazioni Video, artistic collective; Luca Vitone, artist.

Moderators: Katia Anguelova, ArtLine production manager; Cecilia Guida, head of the ArtLine public program; Roberto Pinto, ArtLine coordinator.

Alterazioni Video is an artistic collective active since 2004 whose members are Paololuca Barbieri Marchi, Alberto Caffarelli, Andrea Masu, Giacomo Porfiri, and Matteo Erenbourg. They are known for Incompiuto Siciliano, an aesthetic investigation of unfinished public works; for years they have been producing Turbo Film, a film genre they themselves invented. Their work has been exhibited in museums and art institutions, including: 52nd Venice Biennale, Manifesta 7, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Hamburger Bahnhof Museum in Berlin, Performa New York, Rome Quadriennale.

Luca Vitone is an artist who with his practice since the second half of the ’80s has focused on the idea of place, inviting us to recognize something we already know, defying the conventions of today’s mutable, faded memory. His work explores the way places are identified through cultural production: art, cartography, music, cuisine, political associations, ethnic minorities. Vitone bridges the gap between the sense of loss of place characteristic of the postmodern and the ways in which feelings of belonging arise in the intersection of personal and collective memory. He reconstructs and invents forgotten paths to reconfigure his own personal geography. Since 2006 he has been teaching at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti-Naba in Milan.
