Arte Fiera (from February 2nd to 4th, one of the main events of Bologna's Art Week which starts on February 1st) turns fifty. It is one of the oldest modern and contemporary art exhibitions in Europe.
For the occasion, the city of Bologna dresses up in celebration, organizing exhibitions, events, performances, special projects, and awards in every corner.
A party within the party that will transform the Emilian capital into the heart of Italian creativity (and beyond) from February 1st to 4th. The Art Week's agenda is packed with events. We choose 5, all worth marking with a red circle.
A bit of London in Bologna
The Galleria d'Arte Maggiore becomes a corner of London. Thanks to Allen Jones, the protagonist of the Forever Icons exhibition staged until April 26th. The various museum halls are filled with numerous iconic works that reveal to the public the artistic epic of one of the most important figures of Pop Art, capable of influencing practically everything: from design to fashion, from popular culture to films (Stanley Kubrick has often been inspired by him).
On stage are paintings, photographs, sculptures, and mannequins. The work not to be missed for anything in the world? The legendary photograph immortalizing Kate Moss transformed into a sculpture thanks to an armor dress, which over the years has become the symbol of an entire era."
