From June 20th, a new exhibition dedicated to the 21st century will be visitable at MIC Faenza, located where the European ceramics room used to be.

In this new room, some of the award-winning artists (from the 58th edition) and the winners of various editions of the PAC Piano for Contemporary Art of the Ministry of Culture are exhibited, with a focus on highlighting the dialogue between poetics and materials, and between generations. From Nero to Wei Bao, from Yves Malfiet to Sissi, from Salvatore Arancio to Paivi Rintaniemi, from Bertozzi&Casoni to Kathy Ruttemberg: authors who have carefully expressed a reflection on matter from a pictorial, critical, plastic, hyperrealistic point of view.

"MIC Faenza is characterized by a constantly updated heritage. The contemporary perspective resulting from the editions of the Faenza Prize, the longest-running and most active international biennial of art ceramics, is a strength of MIC Faenza. Like all Italian (and worldwide) museums, the deposits are a place that houses most of the collections. - explains Claudia Casali, director of MIC Faenza - In view of evaluating and promoting its own heritage and, in this case, contemporary artists, a process of rearranging the rooms of the 20th and 21st centuries has been initiated, starting last September on the occasion of Argillà, with the setting up of "Contemporary Pills", continuing in December with the Art Nouveau - Déco section and continuing with small interventions on the post-World War II heritage."
