About The Work
This edition of Salon, curated by Laura Cherubini and Giacinto Di Pietrantonio, with the collaboration of Maria Elena Longoni and Elena Mastretta, took place from 9 to 19 September across 24 galleries in the city.
Alongside the traditional awards—testifying to the commitment to promoting emerging talent from Brera—a new Wella–Brera Prize was introduced, together with a number of initiatives sharing the same aim, such as the Levi’s event and the international Swiss Bank Awards.
From the catalogue text by the then Director, Fernando De Filippi, it emerges that approximately 4,000 students were enrolled, of whom 400 came from 49 different countries. In the same text, attention is drawn to the fact that the International Exhibition of the 47th Venice Biennale, inaugurated in June and curated by Germano Celant under the title Futuro, Presente, Passato (bringing into dialogue three generations of artists across the period 1967–1997), included several recently graduated students as well as one still enrolled in the final year: Mario Airò, Vanessa Beecroft, and Giuseppe Gabellone. The exhibition also featured Luciano Fabro, one of the major artists who taught at Brera.
In agreement with the participating galleries, Salon was moved to September.
Scenography was included among the schools of origin of the selected participants, reflecting the interdisciplinary approach both encouraged and practiced within the teaching environment at Brera.
The awards were presented to Seon-Ghi Bahk, Michela Balmelli, Annalisa Calabrese, Daniela Capacioli, Valerio Carruba, Martina Chiubnova, Alfredo Di Marco, Lara Fumagalli, Micol Magni, Katarzyna Matoga, Alfred Milot Mirashi, Sergio Repici, Mariette Schilz, Alessandro Spadari, and Laura Tissino.
The catalogue cover was designed by Studio Grafico Baka. Bibliography
