As a place of permanent reflection about identity and about the transformation of Milan, able to give space to the most recent artistic research that has seen photography as major protagonist, Forma Meravigli, an initiative of Fondazione Forma per la Fotografia in collaboration with Camera di Commercio di Milano and Contrasto, presents Exposed Project.
Throughout the summer of 2015, the exhibition halls will turn into a dynamic observatory on the city, able to capture new looks on the territory and give back, in real time, all the cultural and social changes that characterize Milan and its outskirts in conjunction with the EXPO.
Exposed Project is a work of research started in Milan in 2011 from the shared need of a group of photographers, artists, videomakers and researchers: witness the urban, social and economic transformations that have taken place in Milan during a great event such as the Expo 2015.
It was thus constituted an international network characterized by an open, critical, multidisciplinary and inclusive approach, that has investigated a constantly evolving territory sharing the results – through a platform of images, videos and multimedial content – with the community.
The web and social networks have been a natural choice as a delivery mean of the project. The Exposed Project website is the clear manifesation of a collective work in progressive growth and of the different researches carried on by a group of authors.
From June 24th to September 20th 2015, Forma Meravigli will host six projects realized by Exposed Project and a dense program of over 15 meetings, external events, presentations and debates that confirm the vocation to dialogue and to research of the new space in Via Meravigli. The set-up will consist in a sort of permanent laboratory, open to different disciplines and animated by the public which will be called upon to interact and share their own experience through workshops and performances.
The project is realized in collaboration with Careof together with FDV Residency Program, which since 2013 has supported the development of the research laboratory and has shared its planning trough talks, workshops and exhibition projects.
The exhibition will end with another exhibition by the Master in Photography and Visual Design students by Forma and NABA, which will present the works on the Expo theme realized in summer 2015 and enriched by the comparison, among others, with Exposed.
Projects on show: Archivio; On the spot; Pak Map; Baranzà; Sinfonie Urbane; FXPO
