Milano, 10 Apr. (askanews) – The Museo del Novecento in Milan presented four projects between new interventions, rearrangements and collaborations, with the aim of strengthening the dialogue with the city and with the contemporary art scene. A path that anticipates the expansion in the second Arengario tower and redefines the museum as an open and constantly evolving space.
“We literally created one space of happily cross-eyed vision – the director of the museum, Gianfranco Maranello, told askanews -, you are inside the museum, but you also always look outside. You look at the works of the large picture gallery that push onto the street, and then soon towards the construction site which will very shortly begin the construction work of the contemporary art space, and therefore it is a day in which the works donated by many collectors, by many artists, the works of Diego Marcon, winner of the ACACIA Prize, look at Milan from the panoramic view of the fountain room and therefore become a great meditation on the meaning of the images, of the landscape, of what the context inside and outside the museum is”.
In addition to Marcon’s work which is displayed under the Space Ceiling and the picture gallery which animated the ground floor, the other new projects concern a focus exhibition on Bruno Munari created with Corraini and the rearrangement of a selection of works from the Spagna Bellora Collection. But it is precisely the very idea of the museum space that is moving. “Today the museum truly becomes a threshold museum – added Maranello – on this journey we are with one foot inside the exhibition galleries of the permanent collections and on the other we are signaling through many interventions even in interstitial spaces of the museum I am thinking of the work of Maloberti, the works of Remo Salvadori, but above all precisely the new picture gallery, the work of Giuseppe Gabellone, the work of Diego Marcon which is precisely inside and outside the space as the Sala Fontana always is in some ways, the museum lies in the meditation of its heritage and in the urgency of contemporary research spaces”.
A vision that contributes to making the experience of a museum richer, but without too much fuss it preserves truly first-rate works.
