During the exposition of Miart, the the prestigious conferences have been included. One of them is “Cina Intra/Extra Ovest,” which was the first event to establish a relationship of dialogue and exchange with China.
This year, the focus of Miart was on Latin America, a group of countries in perennial transformation in which the exigencies of art are defining a political and cultural identity.
First time under the umbrella title “fuoriMiArt-(con)temporary art” an unmissable program that presented the most exciting events in the whole city.
Also, The Miraggi project has grown from the desire of the Milan authority for urban design and parks to restore to its citizens a sense of Milan as a city that experiences art as a necessity, a right, a pleasure: A part of the whole.
For the end, the conclusion could be that Milan and MiArt have won again, that confirm the big interest of qualified public and the positive results of sales.

Images ( Ritratti) by Tania Pistone shows the famous artists, poets and historical persons exposed to Spiralearte Gallery in Milan, deliver to visitors a piece of contemporary art. Among the many faces are known as Ernest Hemingway, Marco Polo, Camille Claudel, Erasmo From Rotterdam, Herman Hesse, Voltaire painted with acrylic, collage, and text on canvas, to Ulisse, Miguel De Cervantes and many others.
This Italian artist forwards the suggestions of who wants to tell stories through color and texture, creating conceptual paintings where abstraction is the final result of a mental. Writing is a sign calligraphic, loses its meaning and remains significant, trace of a thought process of destruction capable of thoughts in a sensory and emotional dimension.
The artist plays with the size and the different forms of her works. The exhibition becomes a portrait where some works have large and medium size, other unusual forms, others are small, some very small.
The exhibition will be open to the public until March 22 th.

From February 12th until March 24th at the Milan Triennale, is carried out an exhibition Classico Manifesto (the advertising and classical tradition) organised in the collaboration of IUAV ( University of Venice ) and the Italian Foundation of value.
The theme of the exhibition, is the relationship between advertising and classical works, a link where advertising uses the tools of classical works, to give visibility and aesthetic sense to their products, while the classic benefits in turn from advertising, which create symbols and myths, developing a strong cultural interest for the art. This exhibition shows several examples of current advertising, but also historical update and export the concept of classical mythology and the iconographic images of modern mass communication. Some casts of classical statues, as a David by Michelangelo and Laocoonte, are getting put in comparison with their current versions and various posters, videos and refresher advertising, to confirm the thesis that the classic doesn’t afraid of rework.

This exhibition helps to understand the difficult mechanisms of advertising, often seen as easy personification of images and concepts in a simple commercial product. In fact, the art of advertising, hides complex mechanisms, which styles, figures and abstractions are transported and reaffirmed in the collective memory to create a target audience incorporating the message as the creative wants to transmit.
The aim of this exhibition is to give a prospective study in which experts and creative people meet each other to observe and give birth to new forms of cultural communication. A unique opportunity to observe closely, as the classical, and creatively reworked ironically, still manages to convey his power and aesthetics over time reassert its signs.
