Galleria Bianconi, founded and directed by Renata Bianconi, was placed from the beginning as a reference point for Italian art of the second half of the twentieth century, recognized for its careful research dedicated to high quality artists of that period. Besides the most recognized names, the gallery aim to rediscover artists which were, for a number of reasons, recently neglected, creating a renewed attention from collectors, historians, curators and institutions. In both cases, the choice is directed towards strong artistic personalities, which distinguish themselves by autonomous proposals and individual visions, despite their close relationship with their time. For this careful work the gallery activates collaborations with other institutional and private organization, on a national and international level, and with art historians, including Gualdoni Flaminio, with whom in recent years has produced numerous exhibitions: the solo shows “Michele Zaza. Il Sogno del Viaggiatore” and “Vasco Bendini. Il tempo, la luce; the double solo show “Giacinto Cerone e Nanni Valentini. Apparizione di Luoghi”; the important collective "Un probabile umore dell'idea. Quattro scultori del dopoguerra Fontana, Leoncillo, Valentini, Zauli"; the exhibition "Carlo Zauli, scultore" at Palazzo Bricherasio in Torino, co-produced by Fondazione Palazzo Bricherasio and Museo Carlo Zauli and “Pensare concreto. Soldati, Nigro, Davico, Nativi, Crippa” exhibition conceived for the START Milano 2011 event. The same distinctive feature that accompanies the research on the recent past, now it’s applied to the present, with the new area dedicated to contemporary art, the b.project. The goal is to build cultural projects that might create a plus value and a meeting of positive energy for the development of contemporary society, starting from strong and individual visions of contemporary artists, both established and emerging. b.project experiences - with the involvement of artists who have distinguished themselves in the global contemporary art scene - new methods of production and comparison, leading from time to time collaborations nationally and internationally. The project Click or Clash? Collaborative strategies, curated by Julia Draganovic opens a structured, long-term path in this direction, with the involvement of international artists,- starting from Via Lewandowsky, Cesare Pietroiusti and Luigi Presicce - who, step by step, will have the opportunity to work together for the first time, in order to create original projects and develop new opportunities for collaboration. Within the b.project the b.projectroom takes a job scouting on emerging figures of the young Italian and international art, the starting point also for Daniele Veronesi, now an artist on the rise, present, among other things, in Basel in June 2011 - within "The solo project" - and in "Art Miami". |
