Contemporary lines in Ticino.
The Collection
10 June - 9 August 2020
Through a hundred or so works from the collection, the exhibition aims to create a kaleidoscope of experiments with the aim of establishing a dialogue between the various works, recognising affinities of language.
The contemporary is understood here as a dialogue between generations covering some forty years of history, suddenly changing from a memory of atmospheres of the last naturalism to a technologically ultra-processed image.
The core of the exhibition therefore lies in the history of the Museo d'arte Mendrisio, from the first biennials dedicated to Paolo Bellini and Aldo Ferrario to the spaces dedicated to Alan Bogana and Marta Margnetti. These are all well-known artists who have had close links with our institute and to whom we owe our thanks.
