Environment presents: "STUDIO MAFFEI MILANO IS PROUD TO SUPPORT ITS LOCAL ARTISTS"
Environment is happy to host a four solo-show exhibition of Italian emerging and mid-career artists from Studio Maffei Milano.
 |
A selection of recent and site-specific works, chosen among some of the most talented Italian artists, exhibited during the last two years gallery's activity. In addition to the exhibits located in the basement of our New York showroom, arrangements and scenarios will evolve every week on the ground floor as well as in the window. Each Sunday for a period of four weeks, the artists will re-arrange the rooms using Eco-design supplies, provided by Environment, with their own personal tastes setting the artworks within their most common context: at home. The concept is to highlight the incredible and at times under-valuated link between design and contemporary art. The aim is to provide to the spectator the idea of the artworks positioned in a different environment than a museum, enriching our knowledge upon everyday surroundings and (hopefully) make it better. The Exhibition will also host a gift shop where artists can sell smaller but authentic and unique works, a production dedicated to American, and particularly to New York City. Items like frottage, t-shirt, drawings, books, publishing and video not available on the market, that represent the expression of artists' work on show, dedicated to supporting the project with the broader cultural spirit of this era: contamination as a method of investigation. Established in April 2008, STUDIO MAFFEI MILANO is a concept gallery dedicated to the use of contemporary art to the development, communications, and realization of alternative exhibition projects and to the investigation of new ideas inspired by the sharing of diverse social experiences between artists, curators, collectors and professionals in the sector. STUDIO MAFFEI MILANO encourages its artists to work freely, altering the space as they see fit, working on site-specific projects around the world. Exhibitions will feature a broad range of contemporary art: painting, sculpture, film/video, performance, mixed media, and conceptual installation. |
