A blossoming of trust: Miart and Milano art week are back in September


miart 2021

A full calendar of events will animate the city of Milan and bring back the sharing of art and culture in person

Milan, 7 July 2021 - From 17 to 19 September 2021 (VIP preview 16 September) miart, the international modern and #contemporaryart fair organised by Fiera #milano, will make a long-awaited comeback. Now in its twenty-fifth edition, it will be directed for the first time by Nicola Ricciardi.

145 galleries from 21 countries (traditionally split into 5 sections: Established Contemporary, Established Masters, Emergent, Decades, and Generations) will present in the pavilions of fieramilanocity_MiCo - and at the same time on a dedicated digital platform - artworks by established contemporary artists, modern masters, and emerging young talents. With a path full of dialogues, discoveries, and rediscoveries from the early twentieth century to the creations of the latest generations, #miart maintains its wide chronological offer and confirms its international nature.

Moreover, this year, #miart pays special attention to the poetic word - interpreted as a form of universal language - starting with the title chosen for its 2021 edition: Dismantling the silence, from the namesake collection of poems by the Serbian-born American poet Charles Simić, fifty years after its publication. This theme has been explored through a series of initiatives designed to trigger new dialogues between past and present, history and experimentation, and promoting the blossoming of new forms of communication among all the subjects that have always animated the fair.

The first of these initiatives is the editorial project And Flowers / Words that, over the past three months, has involved in weekly online conversations numerous personalities from the Italian artistic and cultural world who share a special interest in the written and spoken word: from Massimiliano Gioni to Mariangela Gualtieri, from Luca Lo Pinto to Emanuele Trevi (now available at https://www.miart.it/-andflowers-words.html)

In continuity with this idea, #miart now presents Starry Worlds, a new program inspired by a poem quoted during one of the online conversations - For Memory (1981), by the American poet Adrienne Rich (1929-2012) – and, in particular, by the verses:

freedom is daily, prose-bound, routine remembering. Putting together, inch by inch the starry worlds. From all the lost collections.
