InContemporanea: we are here
Twelv e non-profit cultural associations present their explorations
and experimentations at the Milan
Triennale in the fourth edition of
inContemporanea.
Often having to reconcile small
budgets and big ambitions,
cultural associations are a
precious resource for young
artists on the fringes of the
contemporary art scene. But
they do have a physiological
handicap: poor visibility.
“inContemporanea”, a
project promoted by the Milan
Provincial Council and curated
by Gabi Scardi, attempts to fill
the gap. This year into its fourth
edition, for three days, from 8
to 10 May, it frees up space at
the Triennale for twelve nonprofit
Milan-based associations.
aMAZElab, AR.RI.VI, Assab One,
Careof, Connecting Cultures,
FreeUndo, Isola Art Center, O’,
Reporting System, Viafarini,
Wurmkos, alongside the Uovo
festival of contemporary dance,
present their experimental
work and attempt to “reveal
underground Milan”, in other
words what is seen, lived and
interpreted by the artists who
poetically describe areas of
the city. Pierluigi Calignano,
Alessandra Spranzi and Enzo
Umbaca, for example, offer
a poetic interpretation of Via
Padova, one of the most multiethnic
roads in the Lombardy
capital. Meanwhile, Christina
Kubisch extends an invitation to
discover the city in an unusual
way with her electric walks,
using sophisticated headsets
that can pick up and amplify
the sound of electric currents
above and below ground.
Finally, Wurmkos presents the
results of their “clandestine”
Wurmkosparole workshops,
which combined poetry and
images to involve the schools
and streets of Sesto San
Giovanni. These projects are
accompanied by conferences,
workshops, mini-plays and
screenings. Elena Sommariva
