Art, collecting, design, fashion, prizes and acquisition funds in the new cycle of miartalks
A new series of miartalks will take place during the days of miart with a multidisciplinary program of lectures, conversations, and interviews animated by outstanding international players—artists, designers, museum directors, critics, curators, and collectors. The themes discussed will range from production to distribution, encouraging reflections and variations around four cultural clusters for which Milan is an international reference: art, collecting, design and fashion. They will be coordinated, respectively, by Edoardo Bonaspetti, Editor-in-Chief of Mousse Magazine, Milan; Alessandro Rabottini, Curator at Large, GAMeC, Bergamo/MADRE, Naples; Maria Cristina Didero, independent curator, Milan/Director, Fondazione Bisazza, Vicenza, and Alessia Glaviano, Senior Photo Editor, Vogue Italia/L’Uomo Vogue, Milan.
The series of special miartalks will continue, this time around in collaboration with an innovative publishing project: 2014 series—three conversations on the theme of time in relation to making art, curating and criticism—will be produced in collaboration with 2014, the new quinquennial publication conceived as a time capsule containing artists’ projects, essays, reprinted texts, found images and old advertising, a project by Luca Lo Pinto, independent curator and Editor-in-Chief of NERO Magazine, Rome.
