OMAR GALLIANI. The drawing in water – EXPO 2015
Curated by Raffaella Resch
On the occasion of the Expo 2015, Milan welcomes the exhibition “Omar Galliani. Il disegno nell’acqua/Omar Galliani. The drawing in water” hosted in two venues: at the City Aquarium where there will be on display a substantial number of works by Omar Galliani – the set-up of which is curated by Mario Botta – and at the Conca dell’Incoronata with a site specific installation.
The event is promoted and produced by the Council of Milan – Culture Department, City Aquarium, in co-operation with the Omar Galliani Archives and the Society of Navigli Lombardi; it also benefits from the patronage of the City of Locarno.
It is curated by Raffaella Resch and is part of Expo in città, the series of events that will accompany the cultural life of Milan during the six months of the Universal Exposition.
Through his works Omar Galliani creates a link between the old and the contemporary, between art and multiple disciplines, drawing inspiration from Leonardo, from the history of Milan and the careful observation of nature.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue which represents both the reprint of the works on display at the Aquarium and the projects and images of the installation at the Conca dell’Incoronata, with a critical text by Alessandra Tiddia and essays by Flavio Caroli, Omar Galliani, Fiorella Minervino and Raffaella Resch, with biographical notes by Nadia Stefanel.
