During this Christmas the art.box’s windows became colored  with the Flavio Lucchini’s poster Vogue. The art.box’s windows also offer an anticipation of the artist’s solo exhibition “What women want (?)” that continues in MyOwnGallery after the great success of Venice (60.000 visitors in 5 months) during the 54° Biennale d’Arte.
Is really the full-lenght veil what women want? The question rises spontaneausly on the mind of the curious. Between analysis and paradox, burqa, niqab and abaja confront themselves with fashion, graphics, advertising, up to become a Vogue cover or the latest proposal for Chanel.

The Vogue poster, art digital on canvas, limited edition (only 100 copies), are on sale at the special price of 300 €

Art meets textile during Milan Fashion Week: art.box hosts the art project “Mi ritorni in mente”, a Fiat 500 entirely covered with wire wool crocheted by Giusy Marchetti, who combines her passion for her vintage car with the passion for crochet, arising a traditional technique to contemporary art.
On the background there is an artwork by Gianfranco Bergamaschi, who personalizes two pages of a newspaper, hoping for art to fight crisis. The two artworks anticipate Mi Artextil in MyOwnGallery, the exhibition entirely dedicated to fiber-art curated by Arte&Arte with Erodoto, combining different kinds of textiles and contributing in writing the history of contemporary textile art.

The two windows light up: a big angel with the face of Monica Bellucci discloses the exhibition “Sacred and Profane” inside MyOwnGallery.
Between consecration and debunking, the last border explored by Flavio Lucchini with his usual elegance and visible irony: angels with the face of famous stars, new-age heavens, Warhol-like Christ, saints with the face of well-known football players.

 A teaser that advances the great TvBoy’s solo show inside MyOwnGallery and Art Point. The place converses with the street, preserving an aurea of sacredness thanks to the effect of the glass. The silent dialogue stays inside the limits of the legal art. The exhibition overlooks and observes the street art world without patecipating in it. Two windows: on the first one the enormous write “legal”, on the second one the word “art”.

A micro exhibition cured by Alessandro Trabucco dealing with the heart theme in several, antithetical, following unusual routes, sometimes trouble-making, sometimes more descreet and delicate.Three international reknowned artists who have been dissecting and translating this issue, using different languages (installations, sculptures, photography), with opposed emotion, from passion to pain.

 

 

A total black window where veiled women stand out, much more objectified than those dressed up as dolls by fashion designers, who represent the most controversial image of femininity, the symbol of a past which never fades but recurs in fact more peremptory and even seems to mark a path for the future.

 

A group of futurist-style Toys, black, white, or colored, lying and on the march, invades the creative container art.box.
Signed by Flavio Lucchini, the Future Toys are plaything/sculptures, stylized and very colorful, cheerful and smiley, made of little, piled up cubes, that intend fashion as a puzzle formed by many pieces put together.
Some of them are made of bronze and cor-ten steel, both small and large sizes.

 

The exhibition space of the art.box comes to life with a new project: the Christmas display window is dedicated to “Three Dolls”, the sculpture by Flavio Lucchini, winner of the international Prize Arte Laguna. The art-work is surrounded by its “copies” on paper, cloth and white plaster. An original art gift for Christmas.

The display windows of the art.box come to life with a new site-specific project: steel objects, lead slabs, marbles and fragments of skin compose the iconography of drama and represent the political and religious incomprehensions outlining the history of good and evil. The artist, Michelangelo Galliani, on the occasion of the circuit (con)TemporaryArt, interprets Superstudio Più’s expository box. On display, all day long, until the end of November.

On the occasion of the Contemporary Day promoted by Amaci on 4th October, the artist Mattia Bosco inaugurates The tree of Eternal Life, site-specific installation inside the art.box, where the crucifixion, though of as extreme exposition, is positioned in the most visible place of the display window. Christ is hided, only his arms can be seen, while the rest of the body disappears behind the tree.
The crucifixion as capital execution, exhibition of the death of a man in front of the staring eyes of the crowd, in front of the men who condemned him and who rejoice in assisting to his death, who make fun of him while he’s still alive, telling him to ask to his father to pull him down from the cross. The father leaves the son dying on the cross, because this is what has to be accomplished.
The artist imagines that God, like Priamo, who begged for Ettore’s remains so as to take care of the funeral rite and save him from the havoc, finally intervenes occulting him, using the same wood on which he was nailed as a veil to cover him.
Such divine intervention turns upside down the destiny of Christ, who seems already resurrecting, and of the crossbeam, which returns to be tree.       

Black painted and enlighten with soft lights as a moonlight night, art.box shows three elegant dummies with sinuous shapes, dressed with precious fabrics and dresses decorated with…pasta! The artist Gaja Lucchini is reinterpreting the window gallery with the installation Dreaming Pasta for Voiello, who celebrates with taste at Superstudio the fashion Milan week.
Next to art.box and with the support of Voiello, MyOwnGallery presents BlackCode/DressCode, showing Flavio Lucchini's black works, together with a hint to the white ones containing elements resembling pasta.
The week ends with the exclusive degustation at Dada Cafè, where the chef Pino Lavarra proposes Voiello Haute Couture recipes. The godmother of the event is Isabella Ferrari, who has just successfully returned from the Cinema festival in Venice.

While 'White Homme', the fashion fair which has changed the business and communication rules, goes on stage at Superstudio Più, Flavio Lucchini, a leading figure in the cultural, fashion and artistic field, interprets for Slide a new way to divide and decorate space. My Flower is a cheerful, funny sculpture made of polyethylene, an high and stylized icon-flower joining art and design intended for a wide audience and both for private or public outdoor spaces. The art-design installation at art.box is curated by Gaja Lucchini who also proposes Marcel Wanders with his Chubby Low, a pouf produced by Slide which is imagined as a big smooth stone with different functions according to the different users.
