ART IS is an evolving collective artwork conceived by Angelo Bonello in which over 100 artists have participated to date. A visual composition where each clip condenses in a few seconds the intimate truth of each artist, called upon to express their thoughts on what art is.
The combination of all the voices gives life to a polyphonic ensemble of visions and insights.
The effect is that of a digital mosaic, an emotional, conceptual, philosophical geography, in which each artist contributes, with his or her own subjective interpretation, to the drafting of a choral project.
A work in progress, constantly implemented, updated and expanded, which at each new exhibition will be enriched with new artistic contributions, keeping the collective discussion on the meaning of art alive and dynamic.
The first exhibition (May 15-25, 2025) took place in the heart of Milan, in front of La Scala Theater, where Art Is took the form of an imposing golden frame inspired by Baroque designs.
A secular altar of creative thinking, from which artists' voices dialogued with the urban space, capturing the attention of passers-by.
Art has left institutional places and moved into the streets, reaching out to the community with a public, open, democratic gesture.
Finally, the international scope of the work created a perfect resonance with the city of Milan, confirming its ability to express multiple cultural forms.
