In the autumn of 2015 Amalart arrives in South Korea for the first time. Together with NPRG Global Partners it brings to the W Museum in Iksan "A Message from Italy", a group exhibition of photography and digital art by four Italian artists: Scilla Felici, Simona Giuggio, Lorenzo Sala and Chiara Schiaratura.
Iksan, in North Jeolla Province, is an ancient city: it was one of the centres of the Baekje kingdom, and the remains of its temples and royal palace have been part of UNESCO World Heritage since 2015. The W Museum aims to be the city's reference point for contemporary art, a place where the memory of the territory meets the languages of today.
In the concrete and brick rooms the black-and-white photographs, mounted on large panels, alternate with Scilla Felici's colour digital works: four different ways of looking at the body, light and nature. It is the beginning of a collaboration: in the following months Amalart will return to the W Museum with two more exhibitions, and in 2017 with Lorenzo Sala's solo show.
