Contemporary Expressions / Declinazioni Contemporanee
In conjunction with Artissima, MAO is opening the second edition of Contemporary Expressions / Declinazioni Contemporanee. This programme of artist residencies and site-specific commissions uses contemporary art as a means for interpreting, re-reading and showcasing the museum’s collection, descending on the present to discover new meanings and connections between different periods and cultures.
The works by Marzia Migliora, Kengo Kuma, Lee Mingwei and Francesco Simeti presented in 2023 will be joined this year by installations by Qiu Zhijie and Charwei Tsai, and Patrick Tuttofuoco’s Ultraworld, a light project made for MAO’s facade that will be part of Costellazione, a fringe section of Luci d’Artista.

The Byzantines. Places, Symbols and Communities of an Over Thousand-Year-Old Empire
A Roman body, a Greek mind, an oriental and mystical soul: this is the greatness of Byzantium for the famous writer and traveler Robert Byron.
