TALK:
Light in Art and Urban Public Space.
Luci d’Artista Turin and Triennale Milano
May 21 2026, 6.30pm - Triennale Milano (Viale Emilio Alemagna, 6, Milano)

A talk organised on the occasion of the 28th edition of Luci d’Artista Torino, which included in its programme the neon works created for our outdoor spaces by Marcello Maloberti, as part of a partnership with the Piedmont-based event. The meeting features a public discussion starting from a project such as Luci d’Artista, one of the most important and long-standing examples of public art in Italy. Topics range from the use of light in art to the role of luminous works in urban space, as well as issues related to the restoration and conservation of ephemeral artworks. The discussion is framed within the history of a language that first developed within our institution, when in the early 1950s Lucio Fontana created the celebrated neon installation for the Scalone d’Onore.
