Biella hosts an extraordinary exhibition dedicated to the most influential contemporary artists
With this exhibition, which recounts contemporaneity through the eyes of the most influential living artists, we inaugurate a series of exhibitions thanks to which Biella will become a new point of reference for major art exhibitions.
The exhibition is organized together with the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation in collaboration with the Municipality of Biella and Arthemisia and with main sponsor Biver Banca – Gruppo Banca di Asti.
An exhibition that tells stories "against the grain", it tells us about life, death, social injustice, wars, sometimes narrated with a teasing spirit, sometimes with lyrical mastery or even with a decisive tone of attack. What is certain is that the message is never banal or obvious, it shakes the conscience, outrages, moves. As only great artists can do.
An exhibition itinerary in two historic buildings with over 90 works
Banksy, Jago and TvBoy, some of the most famous artists in the world, are just some of the protagonists of the Biella exhibition, which for the first time also sees international celebrities such as David LaChapelle, Takashi Murakami, Liu Bolin, Obey, Mr. Brainwash and many others.
The exhibition, curated by Piernicola Maria Di Iorio, is made up of over 90 works including famous icons such as Girl with Baloon by Banksy or Hope by Obey, and will take place in two locations, Palazzo GromoLosa and Palazzo Ferrero, which are part of the cultural hub of Biella Piazzo.
It will also be an opportunity for many visitors to get to know Biella better, its verdant territory and its excellent gastronomic offer. Among the cultural realities of greatest interest are the Ricetto di Candelo, the Sanctuary of Oropa and the Oasi Zegna, an ideal destination for finding large spaces, activities and innovative workshops, and also the famous Cittadellarte - Fondazione Pistoletto and the impressive heritage of industrial archaeology.
