On 5th June we could saw in Hangar Bicocca in Milan, a unique show “Antarctica” about the artworks created by Lucy and Jorge Orta, two artists who left for an expedition in the South Pole looking for innovative thoughts.
Cultural exchange
The installations, that are part of an artistic project set among the cold and huge ices of the South, include base camp’s tents made with flags of different countries from all over the world, parachutes, survival equipments, a particular video reporting the artists’ trip and other works, all symbolizing the abolition of every frontier for the integration and the cultural exchange among people.
Visitors entering the Hangar Bicocca receive their Antarctic World Passport, a passport edition created by the artists as a symbol for the eradication of all borders, real or imaginary, as obstacles to integration and cultural exchange.
The exhibition is also an occasion for presenting other major works created by the artists, addressing social, environmental and humanitarian issues.
The show will be open till 08/06/08.
