Pressrelease

“Premio Maccagno” (Maccagno award) synergically connects four awards in Lombardy: “Rassegna Internazionale Giovanni Segantini e Bice  Bugatti” – Nova Milanese; “Premio Nazionale Rinaldo ed Ermenegildo Agazzi” - Mapello; “Premio Biennale di Pittura Luigi Brambati” - Castiglione d’Adda; “Premio Morlotti” - Imbersago; “Premio Internazionale d’Arte Città di Bozzolo – Biennale Don Primo Mazzolari” - Bozzolo.

This interaction makes the awards stronger by renewing their will to go beyond their limits and reach across the boundaries of the local area.  The individual goals become one: promoting contemporary art and spreading its contents, while strengthening each award’s path and value.

This exhibition includes fifty works by twenty-five particularly remarkable artists who participated in the various awards: Marco Anzani, Ako Atikossie, Laura Branca, Dino Buffagni, Arrigo Buttazzoni, Laetitia Calcagno, Andres David Carrara, Adriano Castelli, Franco Chiarani, Alessandro Fabbris, Victor Ferraj, Barbara Galbiati, Nevio Monacchi, Mattia Montemezzani, Mario Paschetta, Anders Christian Pedersen, Marco Perroni, Ugo Rassatti, Grazia Ribaudo, Daniela Romagnoli, Alessandra Rovelli, Vanni Saltarelli, Alessandro Sanna, Sandro Soravia,  Marco Tamburro.

“Premio Maccagno” will reward two artists with a voucher, while a personal exhibit will be the prize for the absolute first prize winner (the exhibit will be in Milan at Associazione Culturale “Spazio Tadini” in 2010).

The panel will be composed by art critics Alberto Pellegatta and Angela Madesani, the museum’s artistic director, the president of Associazione Culturale “Spazio Tadini”, the mayor of Maccagno, a proxy of Assessore Cultura Regione Lombardia, Assessore alla Cultura (or a proxy) of Provincia di Varese.

Designed by Claudio Rizzi, organized by Ad Acta, sponsored by Regione Lombardia and Provincia di Varese, along with the comuni of Nova Milanese, Mapello, Castiglione d’Adda, Imbersago, Bozzolo, and by the provinces of Milan, Bergamo, Lodi, Lecco and Mantova. Catalog by Silvia Editrice. The exhibition is a further, ample view on contemporary art.
