Fourth edition of the Bocconi Art Gallery on 27 May
A rainbow of contemporary art at the fourth edition of the Bocconi Art Gallery, on 27 May. From Steven Scott and Jonathan Monk's neon colors, to Ettore Spalletti's colors on boards and Gerold Miller's colors on plated metal; from Giorgio Rastelli's wooden gymnasts, to the conceptual art of Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni, Dadamaino and Grazia Varisco, in addition to Zhang Huan and Peter Wüthrich's photographs and Chiara Dynys's lenticulars. And Elio Marchegiani's black and white Grande Scacchiera, as well as dark brown steel in works by Giuseppe Spagnulo and Mauro Staccioli. These are just a few of the works of art in the fourth edition of BAG, the Bocconi Art Gallery, which will be inaugurated on Tuesday 27 May. More than 100 installations, sculptures, photographs and paintings will be exhibited on the Bocconi campus: from the historical headquarters on Via Sarfatti to the building on Via Roentgen designed by the Irish firm Grafton.
For the inauguration evening (from 6 to 11pm), Bocconi will welcome contemporary art enthusiasts and anyone who is simply curious, with a full program of guided tours and meetings with the artists. In addition to music and performances. Starting at 8pm, jazz pianist Paolo Alderighi and the BJBU, Bocconi Jazz Business Unit, will perform, and the BAG evening will also host Umani a Milano (https://umaniamilano.tumblr.com/), a storytelling project by Stefano D'Andrea. Through images and words, UAM tells the stories of people living in Milan and it will be at the Bocconi Art Gallery with a huge installation and a special photographic set to continue to gather and tell other stories.
Bocconi Art Gallery is made possible thanks to the collaboration of artists, collectors and gallery who have loaned or donated works of art to Università Bocconi. New developments for this edition include a partnership with the Antonio Calderara Collection.
Starting on 28 May the exhibit can be viewed during the opening hours of the individual buildings, according to a calendar of special opening times
