At the end of 2014 Amalart returns to Shanghai, to a place of strong symbolic value. The Italian Pavilion at Expo 2010, visited by more than seven million people, was donated by the Italian Government to the Municipality of Shanghai and transformed, with the Italian Embassy and the Consulate General, into the Shanghai Italian Center: a permanent venue for cultural and economic relations between the two countries.
Here, with its Chinese partner Seagull and with Rosanna Ossola's FYR Gallery, Amalart stages a group exhibition in which the artists it has followed since 2013 show alongside other artists of the gallery. Photography, painting, sculpture and digital art remain on display for eight months, from November 2014 to June 2015. At the opening, in the depths of winter, the rooms fill with a large and curious audience.
Compared with the galleries and fairs of the previous year, the step is significant: no longer an event lasting a few days, but a long presence, in a space created to tell the story of Italy in China. The roots put down in Shanghai are beginning to bear fruit.
