The exhibition presents the work of 46 students plus 9 students from the Erasmus project (students from European countries), taking into account the characteristics of the space; painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, installation dialogue with each other and with the place. «Tracce is the synthesis of the educational path of this Academic Year with exhibition purposes, where the School of Painting is characterized by heterogeneity of research and places students in a dialectical relationship with places, spaces and realities outside the classrooms, beyond the walls of Brera – explains the director of the Academy with councilor Bragato -. The exhibition was born from an agreement stipulated between the Brera Academy and the Municipality of Legnano, for the realization of cultural projects “exhibitions and meetings for contemporary art” and takes place in the extraordinary environments of the Visconti Castle. Once again, for students it will translate into the opportunity to verify the research undertaken during the course of studies by finalizing their realization in a site-specific exhibition. One or more works conceived as interventions, capable of combining the main themes of contemporary art with local culture and art, specifically Tracce aims to be a reference to the genius loci of the territory”.
The team made up of professors Arcangelo Esposito, Franco Marrocco, Daniela Moro, Maria Tcholakova, selected the students with their works and coordinated the various phases of the project: «Our students worked and investigated the cultural legacies and identifying traces of the Visconti Castle and the reality of the city of Legnano which is celebrating its Centenary». A catalog will document the exhibition and the specificity of the contents in relation to the space. It is sponsored by the Municipality of Legnano, the Department of Culture and the Brera Academy of Milan.
