Youth and Future
This exhibition has ended.
Free group show from Giovanni Caccamo's youth project: works by Cattelan, Pistoletto, Kapoor, Gormley, Penone and more, inspired by young people's visions of change.
Museum websiteMore in Milan
Twelve texts by young people were printed onto cotton paper on an 1846 Albion iron press, and each sheet went to an Italian artist to answer with a work. Cattelan, Pistoletto, Isgrò, Paladino and Pomodoro are among the twelve, and their answers hang in the Sala delle Cariatidi.
The texts came from thousands of replies gathered in universities, prisons and reception centres. Works on paper by Kapoor, Gormley, Penone, Kiki Smith and others are sold to fund reforestation. There are also Jamie Hawkesworth's photographs of ten young people sailing the Atlantic slave-trade route, a Paladino tapestry, a Pistoletto mirror piece and a Luc Jacquet video. At the Wall of Change you hold your phone to a totem and your word appears on a white LED wall: the one room in Palazzo Reale where getting your phone out is the point.
Entry is free. It closes on Sunday 1 November, open 10:00 to 19:30. A national general strike may disrupt Friday 30 October, when it shuts at 17:30.
Look for
The Wall of Change
Hold your phone to the totem beside it and your word of change is projected live onto a white LED wall with everyone else's.
Paladino's tapestry
Made for this show from flags Paladino designed for the 80-metre Gran Pavese flown on the sailing ship during The Ark of Change crossing.
Isgrò's erased Manifestos
Both books of the project, Manifesto del cambiamento and Manifesto for Change, with their text cancelled out by Emilio Isgrò.
Pistoletto's mirror piece
A reflective work that sets you among the waves of the ocean.
Hawkesworth's Ark of Change photographs
Unseen photographs from the 18-day crossing from Cape Verde to Paramaribo, ten young people aboard an old Dutch sailing ship.
