Viafarini inaugurates a new format: a conversation between artists who have intercepted its trajectory at different times.
A renowned artist, who has participated in the history of Viafarini, in dialogue with an emerging artist who has recently completed his residency at VIR Viafarini-in-residence. A direct exchange in which each artist is asked to choose one of the other's works, a pretext in the form of a conversation piece, an opportunity for a horizontal confrontation on the approach to the construction of the image and the dynamics of the relationship between artists, also in an intergenerational logic.
Stefano Arienti
Born in Asola (Mantua) in 1961, he moved to Milan in 1980, where he still lives. In 1986 he graduated in Agricultural Sciences with a thesis on virology. He took part in his first group exhibition in 1985 at the former Brown Boveri factory, where he met Corrado Levi, his first teacher. He frequented the Italian artistic environment, together with other young artists, in the moment of renewal following the seasons dominated by Arte Povera and Transavanguardia. He has held a series of solo exhibitions in Italian and foreign galleries and art institutions, including the Museo MAXXI (Rome), the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin), the Fondazioni Querini Stampalia and Bevilacqua la Masa (Venice) and the Palazzo Ducale (Mantua).
