SpazioAlieno, the artists’ house … becomes a work of art

ANDre born in 2017 as a creative laboratory and “artists’ house” to bring together international talents interested in sharing a space. And so it has been up to now with thick art projects with personalities like Lami Daher to Bros, Willow, Angelo Cruciani, DutyGorn, Barbara Crimella, Angelo Langé and Guido Averna.

SpazioAlieno, “living art”

Nobody knew, however, that the SpazioAlieno cultural association, located in Milan, in the Ripamonti area (Parco Agricolo Sud Milano, Ticinello), inside a former industrial warehouse (Cascina Cascinetta, an agricultural settlement from the early 1900s, which was then transformed into Officina Aereomeccanica Sicam by Stefano and Luca Zanardi, supporters of the project since from the first hour and heirs of a historic family of engineers) “hid” a much wider artistic ambition: become a living work of art. A bit like the ones created by Christo (passed away in 2020), known for his land art works.

Spaceship as a symbol

JanRuju, the visionary artist who conceived it, with Marco Gilberti, an architect friend, both over 50, over time they built a spaceship, with recycled materials donated to the association from disused premises and houses. One “SpazioAlieno”, precisely, a place full of design objects, outside of reality, that become a work of art, intended to make us reflect on the condition of the artists of our time. C.often obstructed to deal with precarious conditions and not being understood by the institutions for their progressive ideas. A symbol of today, in short, that the lockdown did not help to help.

The artist JanRuju at SpazioAlieno

SpazioAlieno created with waste materials

The mezzanine has been built with the scenography of an Etro fashion show a few years ago, for example. The internal scenography, on the other hand, boasts huge letters used for the inauguration of an OVS venue. Inside were then created a kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and offices including a fireplace at the entrance with the resin technique of which JanRuju is a specialist: a mosaic with broken tiles, a fountain that lives when it rains because it is connected to the eaves and ends up in the canal, the sound of the water, and the indoor vegetable garden with spices and chillies.

Open day to support the artists

Now, however, SpazioAlieno, just as it was ready to … “take off”, risks being dismantled due to lack of funds. “To survive SpazioAlieno means to survive underground conceptual art,” explains JanRuju. The goal is to create an “open day” where each material inside the work is put up for sale. In order to support itself, the association has created, in the meantime, special rings created with recycled copper: the “seal” of SpazioAlieno created by the eclectic mind of JanRuju. Those who want to participate with donations can contact the artist on his Instagram page.
