Fondazione ICA Milano presents, from Friday 28 October to Friday 23 December 2022 , the group exhibition How far should we go? curated by Rossella Farinotti.

The protagonist of the exhibition is the landscape, explored and explored from different points of view through the works of eight Italian artists, different by generation and linguistic code: Linda Carrara, Lucia Cristiani, Cleo Fariselli, Ettore Favini, Irene Fenara, Silvia Mariotti, Giovanni Oberti and Alice Ronchi.

The title of the exhibition originates from the work of 2019 Wherever Yugo, I go by Lucia Cristiani, which saw the phrase "How far should I go to make something of myself?" [how far would I have to go to make something of myself?] etched with acid on the windshield of a Yugo, a small and iconic car very popular in the former Yugoslavia. The question, despite its apparent simplicity, triggers a reflection focused on the state of mind that frequently pervades those who undertake a path with a certain sensitivity, paving the way for a collective exploration focused on the theme of the formalization of the landscape in its multiple interpretations. From the imaginary scenarios that populate our dreams to the real ones captured by the camera, How far should we go? puts into dialogue an ecosystem of works and installations different from each other, which find their own point of contact in an attempt to escape an increasingly complex and unregulated system.

The exhibition itinerary, presented on the first floor of the ICA Milano Foundation, dialogues with the space by tracing a narrative line where the works of art are fragments linked together by common lines. Imagery related to still life are interwoven with the movement of stolen images, non-places and their derivations replace delicate personal reflections that project the theme of the landscape beyond social, political and cultural boundaries, reworking reality autonomously and revealing points of view which, perhaps, had never been thought of.
