Pubblic art in Milan

ArtLine Milano is a public art project of the Municipality of Milan: an open-air collection of artworks in the Citylife Public Park, freely accessible during the park’s opening hours.

The artworks, selected in 2015 from a competition between under-40 artists and on the basis of direct commissions to internationally established artists, interact with both the architecture of Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki and Daniel Libeskind and the natural development of the park, designed by the Gustafson Porter studio. These site-specific interventions are part of the redevelopment process of an urban area in Milan (once Piazza d’Armi and then Fiera Campionaria) and are therefore integrated into the natural and urban Citylife district.

The exhibition itinerary is composed of twelve installations: Atrio dello sguardo sul futuro by Mario Airò, Daily Desiderio by Riccardo Benassi, Hand and Foot by Judith Hopf, Red Pavilion by Alfredo Jaar, New Times for Other Ideas / New Ideas for Other Times by Maurizio Nannucci, Rudere by Adrian Paci, Filemone e Bauci by Ornaghi & Prestinari, Beso by Wilfredo Prieto, Cieli di Belloveso by Matteo Rubbi, Guardians by Kiki Smith, Coloris by Pascale Marthine Tayou and Vedovelle and Green Dragons by Serena Vestrucci. The artworks by Rossella Biscotti, Elisabetta Benassi, Jeremy Deller, Shilpa Gupta, Adelita Husni-Bey, Liliana Moro, Otobong NKanga are currently under a process of design and realization.
