"Art everywhere: an urban scenario in Maroggia" is a street art exhibition curated by Patrizia Cattaneo Moresi Director of Artrust. An artistic project that, now in its third edition, this year involved already established Swiss artists and other International authors such as BIGTATO, CHINAGIRL, KELLY HALABI, MADAME, NESPOON, NEVERCREW, OZMO, PRO176, RAUL, RAVO, SERENA MAISTO , TVBOY, YURI CATANIA + NO CURVES many more and ..... BANKSY with the exhibition "All you need is Banksy" scheduled from 7 September to 17 December 2021 at Artrust, via Pedemonte di Sopra 1, Melano CH.
The open-air exhibition comes to life in the streets of the urban centre of Maroggia that extend from the suggestive lakeside to the Mulino di Maroggia and beyond. An itinerary that we recommend you to do by foot starting from point 0 at the Artrust gallery. The map is available online on the Triennale website.
For all street art enthusiasts and more, it is interesting to see how a small area like Maroggia has become full of urban culture and creativity. A wonderful journey to return to travel with the mind and beyond. An important project that gives value to Ticino with the promotion of public art that puts the surrounding environment in dialogue with the people who observe it.
You can buy "Tra Strada e Street Art"t the official guide and book to discovery the history of the project and all the artists who involved. The publication is also available at CasaGalleria MonteGeneroso for SFr. 25.
Yuri Catania's project was made in combo with the tape artist No Curves and is called "The Black King & Secret Flowers". A very special duo, the result of a long friendship between the two artists, who brought to Switzerland a work that is the mix of two techniques: paste-up and tape art. With this project, a "Cat of Rovio" has become part of the street art festival in Maroggia and thanks to the skilful creative intervention by NoCurves it has come to life in a world of coloured adhesive tapes that symbolize the latest photographic work by Yuri Catania which was on display at Artrust from 8 May to 16 July 2021, entitled "Black Flower Secret Garden".
Enjoy your visit!!!
