For the first time, the Accademia di Brera opens its classrooms and studios to the public, offering a slice of daily life in the Academy through an exhibitive project uniting all institutions of the Palazzo di Brera in a unique journey through ancient and contemporary art. The itinerary has been conceived by Visual Cultures and Curatorial Practices—a specialist course of Brera Academy—in collaboration with Zerynthia Association for Contemporary Art.
In this context, the following site-specific installations of contemporary art have been created all over the 18th building, located in the centre of Milan:
