By Cesare Zucca Leandro Erlich, the contemporary artist who has brought excitement to record numbers of visitors everywhere on the planet, is finally coming to Palazzo Reale in Milan, for his first European exhibition. Argentine artist, born in Buenos Aires ,Erlich creates large installations with which the public relates and interacts, becoming the work of art itself.
The exhibition is promoted by the Comune of Milan-Cultura, is produced and organized by Palazzo Reale and Arthemisia, in collaboration with Studio Erlich, with the curatorship of Francesco Stocchi. His works are unique and represent an absolute novelty in the art world and combine creativity, vision, emotion and fun.
Buildings in which you can virtually climb, houses uprooted and suspended in the air, lifts that lead nowhere, escalators tangled as if they were threads of a ball of yarn, unsettling and surreal sculptures, videos that subvert normality.They are all elements that tell us something ordinary in an extra-ordinary context, where everything is different from what it seems, where the sense of reality and the perception of space are lost.
The workshop “The Biscozzi Foundation | Rimbaud: a new contemporary art museum in Lecce”, within the master’s degree course “Art, valorisation and market” within the teaching of “Management and start-up for art” held by Professor Angelo Mittel.
With the introduction and on the initiative of Professor Miglietta himself, the workshop will explore the case of the Biscozzi Foundation | Rimbaud, and in particular how it constitutes an innovative experiment for the promotion of culture and the development of human and territorial capital, through the interventions of Dominique Rimbaud and Paolo Bolpagni, respectively president and technical-scientific director of the Biscozzi Foundation | Rimbaud, as well as the mayor of Lecce Carlo Salvemini and the councilor for culture, the enhancement of cultural heritage and public education Fabiana Cicirillo. The opening greeting will be entrusted to Vincenzo Trione, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Tourism of the IULM University.
The case study: the Biscozzi Foundation | Rimbaud was established on 19 February 2018 by the spouses Luigi Biscozzi and Dominique Rimbaud with the intention of carrying out a cultural activity particularly aimed at modern and contemporary art, through the enhancement of their collection of about two hundred works. This collection is to be considered as a permanent nucleus destined to be preserved over time, but also to grow with new acquisitions, and constitutes the reference and tool for exhibitions, conferences, educational and popular activities. The Foundation, whose legal personality has been officially recognized as being of public interest, promotes in particular the “Progetto Lecce”, which arises from the desire of Luigi Biscozzi to make his art collection available to the public in his own territory of origin.

“The psychic sphere, the surreal, the subconscious and metaphysical feelings unrelated to the conditioning of awareness” thus notes Max Ernst, German painter, sculptor, poet and theorist of art and celebrated at Palazzo Reale Milano with a spectacular retrospective, the first in Italy .
.The Angel of the Hearth alludes to the terrible catastrophe that was about to fall in 1939. A condor with a pointed beak bristling with sharp teeth becomes a symbol of a Europe drunk with blood, which will transform its children into monstrous entities.
A prolific artist, Ernst was a primary pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealism in Europe. He had no formal artistic training, but his experimental attitude toward the making of art resulted in his invention of frottage—a technique that uses pencil rubbings of textured objects and relief surfaces to create images—and grattage, an analogous technique in which paint is scraped across canvas to reveal the imprints of the objects placed beneath.
“Crazy visionary anticipator, even without a precise or recognizable style of his own” This is the comment of the Italian Singer/Painter IVAN CATTANEO on the red carpet at the Max Ernst Exhibit at Palazzo Reale , Milan
Max Ernst was a provocateur, a shocking and innovative artist who mined his unconscious for dreamlike imagery that mocked social conventions. These charged sentiments directly fed into his vision of the modern world as irrational, an idea that became the basis of his artwork. Ernst’s artistic vision, along with his humor and verve come through strongly in his Dada and Surrealists works
“La sfera psichica, il surreale, il subconscio e i sentimenti metafisici slegati dal condizionamento della consapevolezza” così annota Max Ernst, pittore, scultore, poeta e teorico dell’arte,, celebrato nella spettacolare retrospettiva a Palazzo Reale Milano
Max Ernst era un provocatore, un artista scioccante e innovativo che scavava nel suo inconscio immagini oniriche che deridevano le convenzioni sociali.Questi sentimenti carichi alimentarono direttamente la sua visione del mondo moderno come irrazionale, un’idea che divenne la base della sua opera d’arte.La visione artistica di Ernst, insieme al suo umorismo e alla sua verve, emerge con forza nelle sue opere dadaiste e surrealiste
Artista prolifico, Ernst è stato uno dei principali pionieri del movimento Dada e del Surrealismo in Europa.Non aveva una formazione artistica formale, ma il suo atteggiamento sperimentale nei confronti della creazione artistica ha portato alla sua invenzione del frottage, una tecnica che utilizza lo sfregamento a matita di oggetti testurizzati e superfici in rilievo per creare immagini, e grattage, una tecnica analoga in cui la pittura viene raschiatasu tela per rivelare le impronte degli oggetti posti sotto.
“ Pazzo visionario anticipatore ma senza uno stile suo preciso o riconoscibile” così commenta il Cantante/Pittore IVAN CATTANEO on the red carpet at the Max Ernst Exhibit at Palazzo Reale , Milan.
L’Angelo del focolare allude alla immane catastrofe che stava per piombare, nel 1939, Un condor con il becco appuntito e irto di denti aguzzi diviene simbolo di una Europa, , ebbra di sangue, che trasformerà i propri figli in entità mostruose.

Beauty has no mercy, are we all Dorian Gray?
Lights and stage special effects, accuracy of the image, a catching opera-rock soundtrack, excellent performances, Federico Marignetti superstar able to carry a non-stop tour de force, perhaps some lack of narration of the original history. La bellezza non ha pietà(Beauty has no mercy), tells the anguish of a perfectly contemporary icon. The long monologue-like written by Daniele Martini focuses on the the obsession for beauty and for its maintenance. Martini starts from the consideration that we are surrounded by thousands of Dorian Gray: the portrait has been replaced by the selfie stick, able to capture an evergreen image. The narration begins when Dorian has already turned thirty-eight and is now a mature man. Although his appearance is unchanged over time, his soul, trapped in the painting that he has hidden for years, bears monstrous and unmistakable signs of unmentionable events. Each of these signs has a story, an emotion that Dorian relieves as it reflects on the experience, starting with the encounter with one’s own beauty. Daniele Martini music follows the emotions of Dorian, and makes the show interesting and animated.The piece, strongly promoted by fashion icon Pierre Cardin, who designed wardrobe for Dorian and his soul (role performed alternatively by Marco Vesprini, and Thibault Servière)

PUNK FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM. FROM CHAOS (a little…) TO COUTURE ( a lot…)
Get ready to dress PUNK!
The new spring 2013 exhibition organized by The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum is supposed to be a tribute the punk’s impact on high fashion from the movement’s birth in the 1970s ( that ‘s the chaos) through its continuing influence today ( mais oui, la couture, naturellement !)
Adventure yourself in a dark itinerary featuring approximately 100 designs for men and women. Few original punk garments from the mid-1970s are juxtaposed with recent, directional fashion to illustrate how haute couture and ready-to-wear have borrowed punk’s visual symbols, with paillettes being replaced with safety pins, feathers with razor blades, and bugle beads with studs.
Focusin on the concept of ‘made-to-measure,’ the exhibition focuses on materials, techniques, and embellishments associated with the anti-establishment style. Presented as an immersive multimedia, multisensory experience, the clothes are animated with period music videos and soundscaping audio techniques. A great jump in a chaotic sea full of creativity and disrespect. Fabrics vagary at the Museo del Tessuto, 1700 amazing embroidery, biscuits dated 1858, how to became a crewelwork artist and more…

Milan: where a real newyorker can get a bite of NY ?
New York and Milan. I know well these two cities well and I think they have one thing in common: stress. So going to a gym is a must for both relaxing the mind and benefiting the body.
I find that the most New Yorker in Milan is GetFIT (www.getfit.it) a network of gyms with 12 locations, from those of Vico, Piacenza and Ravizza, perfectly equipped, full of swimming pools, saunas and steamrooms, to the ‘express’ ones like Galvani, ideal for a ‘hit and run’ workout, ‘broker style’ of Wall Street ‘
GetFIT’s prerogative are the numerous LesMills classes designed to train strength, develop agility and burn fat. They include yoga, tai chi and pilates workouts, with exercises that increase flexibility, leaving a feeling of balance, calm, harmony and general well-being.
Stories of women between the 16th and 17th centuries.
The rooms of Palazzo Reale in Milan host a unique exhibition dedicated to the greatest female artists who lived between the 16th and 17th centuries: Artemisia Gentileschi, Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, Elisabetta Sirani, Fede Galizia, Giovanna Garzoni and many others. dedicated to the universe of women, focusing attention on their works, their priorities and their skills.
34 different artists are today rediscovered through over 130 works, testifying to an intense creative vitality all female, in a singular tale of passionate stories of women already “modern”. There are the best known artists but also those less known to the general public; there are new discoveries, such as the Roman nobleman Claudia del Bufalo, who becomes part of this history of female art, and there are works exhibited for the first time such as
the Pala della Madonna dell’Itria by Sofonisba Anguissola, made in Sicily, in Paternò, in 1578 and never left the island before; just as the altarpiece by Rosalia Novelli Madonna Immacolata and San Francesco Borgia leaves Palermo for the first time, the only certain work by the artist, from 1663, from the Church of the Gesù in Casa Professa; or the canvas Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine by Lucrezia Quistelli dated 1576, from the parish church of Silvano Pietra near Pavia.
Under the curatorship of Anna Maria Bava, Gioia Mori and Alain Tapié, the works selected for the exhibition come from 67 different lenders, including – nationally – the Uffizi galleries, the Capodimonte Museum, the Brera Art Gallery, the Sforzesco Castle,
the National Gallery of Umbria, the Borghese Gallery, the Royal Museums of Turin and the National Art Gallery of Bologna and – from abroad – the Musée des Beaux Arts in Marseille and the Muzeum Narodowe in Poznan (Poland).
Artemisia Gentileschi
Daughters, wives, sisters of painters, or sometimes women of religion: the exhibition The Ladies of Art presents not only the great compositional skills of these painters, but – through the telling of their personal stories – looks at the role they play in society of the time, to the success achieved by some of them at the great international courts, to their ability to know how to relate, distinguish and assert themselves by transforming themselves into real entrepreneurs, and to know how to compare themselves with their ideals and different lifestyles.
