M9 is a museum located in Venice Mestre. It is a new generation cultural hub that includes the digital Museum of the 20th Century, a media library, exhibition spaces, and areas dedicated to educational activities. Designed by Sauerbruch & Hutton architecture studio, the M9 project aims to establish a dynamic meeting point for locals and cultural tourism in the heart of Mestre
The exhibition featured works by artists coming from the Costume Design course at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. It was held at the former Caserma Pepe, a suggestive ex military area close to the Venice lido airport, during the Venice Film Festival. The artists showcased costumes, video projects and installations narrating their personal experiences with their bodies
Blending art, culture and social impact, the project unfolded during Milan's Fuorisalone with an exhibition, a gala dinner and a charity auction. A diverse lineup of partners joined forces - from Amref for Africa to Artiest, the platform spotlighting fine Italian craftsmanship; from Christie's to Italian Ways, luxury stays and Internationalia Edizioni. Together, they created a vibrant stage where Italian, French, Swiss and African artists and designers came together, sparking dialogue and creativity throughout Milan Design Week. The project was curated by Michela Codutti in collaboration with Rebecca Hoyes and Vincenzo Insinga
Art is leaving museums and entering everyday spaces - giving people the chance to enjoy works by young creatives while resting
