From 14 September to 22 October 2023, MUDEC in Milan presents with Deutsche Bank and in collaboration with 24 ORE Cultura the DOKU Experience Center exhibition by the artist LuYang, who won the prestigious international "Artist of the Year" award of the dedicated Bank in 2022 to contemporary art, now in its eleventh edition.

The exhibition is curated by Britta Färber, Global Head of Art & Culture at Deutsche Bank.

After opening at the PalaisPopulaire in Berlin, the "Artist of the Year" returns to Milan at MUDEC, continuing the important collaboration started last year, with the aim of presenting some of the most interesting artists on the international scene to the Italian public, who stood out for the creativity and significant value of their work. This second appointment with the Deutsche Bank prize confirms the commitment of MUDEC and 24 ORE Cultura towards contemporary languages and themes, which is divided into an artistic and cultural program of international scope, accompanied by in-depth collateral events, including thematic guided tours, educational workshops, artist talks and meetings.

Committed for over 40 years in the promotion of contemporary art, since 2010 Deutsche Bank has awarded this annual prize to emerging artists who work mainly with paper or photography, the preferred medium of the works that make up the Deutsche Bank Collection, created in the mid-1970s and today one of the most important corporate collections at an international level. The winner of the “Artist of the Year” – whose work must always be of social and artistic relevance and must develop new perspectives on the present – is chosen on the recommendation of the bank's Global Art Advisory Council, made up of internationally renowned curators of the caliber by Victoria Noorthoorn, Hou Hanru and Udo Kittelmann. Rather than awarding a cash prize, Deutsche Bank supports its Artists of the Year by helping to make them known to the general public, producing a solo exhibition and catalogue, and purchasing some of their works for the collection. Since 2018, the artists' solo exhibition has been inaugurated at the PalaisPopulaire, the Deutsche Bank space in Berlin dedicated to art and culture, and is subsequently presented in other international institutions.
