NA + SPAZIO LEONARDO

Tutti dobbiamo dei soldi al vecchio sarto di Toledo
[We All Owe Money to the Old Tailor of Toledo]
Una is pleased to present its first collaboration with #spazioleonardo, Leonardo Insurance's new container located in the heart of Milan, in the Porta Nuova Quarter. #spazioleonardo is imagined as an organism that grows and changes, that lives in ongoing evolution: a workspace that puts itself at the service of the city and welcomes the city, enriching it with new spaces and cultural offerings.
Through the perspective of openness and interdisciplinarity, #spazioleonardo entrusts the artistic direction of its Gallery, a long 22-meter wall positioned at its entrance and completely visible from the outside, to #una, a gallery dedicated to promoting emerging artists and research. Therefore, an annual program is now established, from April to December 2018, which proposes a series of three solo exhibitions of as many young Italian artists: #thomasberra (April - June); #simonemonsi (June - September); #irenefenara (October - December). Each artist is invited to create a site-specific project, designed for the Gallery, which will cross the agency's lobby, in dialogue with the multifaceted nature of #spazioleonardo and will be documented in a catalog with critical texts and photographs. The exhibitions will be open to the public free of charge during the agency’s open hours, providing an opportunity for exchange and meeting between the space and the city. The collaboration between #una and #spazioleonardo, two entities operating in different fields but sharing a vision, open to the future and to synergies, aspires to be a virtuous example of the relationship between art and business, capable of producing positive and growth minded effects, not only for the #people directly involved but also for the entire region.
