Fanta-MLN

Founded by Alessio Baldissera, Gloria de Risi and Alberto Zenere, Fanta-MLN firstly opened as a project space in 2015 in a former warehouse under the railway system in Milan. After three years of activity, the project space became a gallery in October 2018. Exploring a variety of artistic visions and media, the gallery’s program focuses on Italian and international emerging artists, alternating solo exhibitions with curated group shows. A particular interest is given to artists whose practice investigates our contemporaneity and the systems that regulate it, questioning more or less explicitly their linearity and normativity.

installation views, We walked toward the music and away from the party, Fanta-MLN, Milan, 2019

For “We walked toward the music and away from the party”, Barker proposed a publishing pavilion against the idea of a publishing house for the reintroduction of a text trapped in time. Manfredo Tafuri’s “Lavoro intellettuale e sviluppo capitalistico” (“Intellectual Labor and Capitalist Development”) was originally printed in the pages of Contropiano following his earlier and more famous “Per una Critica dell’Ideologia Architettonica” (“For a Critique of Architectural Ideology”). Over the course of the exhibition the text was translated into English for the first time by architect Alessandro Bava and updated with the artist. The gallery was staged for the reception of the republication in regular installments, while the finalized manuscript was held in suspension by the rights holder.
