In the Trussardi family, art and beauty breathed naturally at all times, ever since Nicola brought a breath of innovative creativity to the world of 1980s fashion, the first example of a global brand and immediately welcomed among the protagonists of the newspapers directed by the Lucchini/Borioli duo. Fashion entrepreneur who drew sap from the artists he surrounded himself with, nurtured his family and in particular particular his beautiful daughters who grew up with art in their blood. The FondazioneTrussardi became a reality three years before his death and the moral and material of Beatrice, the eldest daughter, who returned from New York after studying art, as president renewed her with a revolutionary project, together with Art Director Massimiliano Gioni and the most important, and discussed, international artists.
From raid to raid in unpredictable places in Milan, the Fondazione Trussardi commemorates its 20 years of nomadic activity tomorrow with the exhibition Abstract by Diego Marcon in the small puppet theater Gerolamo, through June 30. In this enchanted space, with his films, videos and installations, Marcon constructs mysterious chamber dramas in which puppets, children and creatures move suspended between the human and the post-human. Mixing melodrama and special effects, he imagines a new humanity agitated by deep moral doubts and trapped in distressing actions that are endlessly repeated. Installed in this theater-bomb, the works spin on themselves like dancers in a hypnotic music box, evoking the
micro-worlds of Joseph Cornell and the fantasies of Carlo Collodi and Lewis Carroll.
