PAC is one of the first examples in Italy of an exhibition space fully dedicated to contemporary art. Through its work, that began in 1979, it has always tried to generate all sorts of discussion on art and to call the attention to the contemporary projects, casting a glance towards the future. The program of PAC is developed by the Department of Culture of Milan along with Italian and international guest curators, in cooperation with private partners for every exhibition. Over the years, it has hosted key names in the international contemporary art scene as Laurie Anderson, Kounellis, Duane Hanson, Emilio Vedova, Andres Serrano, Lucio Fontana, Richard Long, Vanessa Beecroft, Marina Abramovic, Yayoi Kusama, Tony Oursler and many others. In addition to these projects, there are often proposals for research and experimentation with artists not well known to the Italian public yet and for an overview on the national scene, with single and collective exhibitions dedicated to Italian artists of different generations.

KOKOKID BRILLIANT POP www.malpezzikokokid.com
30 | February - March 2018
KOKOKID BRILLIANT POP Kokokid’s – aka Massimo Malpezzi – works are designs with a strong visual impact. He was influenced from an early age by the fascination of his father’s works, a ceramist and futurist painter himself, by the graffiti artists and the Anglo-American pop art. Ha has always been open to testing. Over the years, he has developed a very personal style, based on irony and wit, influenced by the comics and graphic schools. Kokokid’s works are colorful. They are made out of waste materials with bright colors applied on big surfaces. Moreover, a keen attention to the technique goes in hand with the selection of the subjects that must catch the eye of the beholder and entertain him. The heroes from the comics are turned into a particular “villain version” of themselves, carrying a knife in their hands.
LA BRILLIANT POP DI KOKOKID Le opere di Kokokid, nome d’arte di Massimo Malpezzi, sono composizioni dal forte impatto. Affascinato sin da bambino dalle creazioni del padre, ceramista e artista futurista, dai graffitari e dalla Pop Art anglo-americana, Kokokid è sempre stato predisposto alla sperimentazione. Nel corso degli anni l’elaborazione di un proprio stile artistico, all’insegna dell’ironia e del divertimento, influenzato anche dalla scuola di fumetto e quella di arti grafiche. Kokokid’s works are displayed in his atelier Cromosoma 21 (v. Privata Liutprando 9) that can be visited by appointment calling 344.0459620. Le opere di Kokokid sono esposte nel suo atelier Cromosoma 21 (via privata Liutprando n.9), visitabile previo appuntamento chiamando il: 344.0459620.
Le opere di Kokokid sono molto luminose; realizzate con materiali di recupero dai colori brillanti che si stendono su ampi formati. Inoltre, a una grande attenzione per la tecnica si coniuga quella per i soggetti che devono incuriosire e divertire lo spettatore. I “buoni” dei fumetti, ad esempio, vengono rappresentati dall’artista nell’inedita e strana veste di “cattivi”, con un coltello in mano. February - March 2018 | 31

Be it winter or summer time, the important thing is to go out of this peaceful sanctuary feeling completely renvigorated and reborned. The tram is there to help you reach your goal since it has been converted into a biosauna. It’s the first biosauna in the world realized inside a tram. This vehicle of the ATM (Milan Transport Company) – a real historical tram of Milan- parked in the grass brings you, on the side of a moment of wellness, also some laughs at the thought that you are sitting in a tram with steamy windows in your bathing suit! And after the 70°C degrees you breathe inside of it, you can immerse in the reaction tub at 15°C degrees and then, why not, enjoy a massage in the shade of the gazebo.

This second ballet production was created in 1993 and is now staged at La Scala for the first time. Alexey Botvinov’s piano, performing the mathematical and symmetrical schemes of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, interacts with the movement of the solos, pas de deux and ensemble scenes. For Spoerli, the Goldberg Variations are similar to life: bonds are created, couples get together and are later separated, in perpetual movement.

REMEMBRANCE
HISTORICAL SIGHTS IN MILAN
“BIFFI IN GALLERIA” It was 1852 when Paolo Biffi, the confectiner of His Majesty the King of Italy, opened the Biffi bakery and cafè in the heart of Milan, which was back then brimming with gardens and inland waterways. The famous Biffi pastry and its specialty, the Panettone, soon became famous among Milan’s most refined circles, delighting the princes of Savoy and the most prestigious families in the city. The Galleria was designed by Giuseppe Mengoni in honor of King Victor Emmanuel II and to celebrate the annexation of Lombardy to Piedmont. Once the construction works had been concluded, Biffi moved into this elegant venue, which was inaugurated on September 15, 1867. Both in the moments of glory and in those of crisis, Biffi and of the Galleria share a common fate.

A meeting place for artists, writers and musicians, attended by Luigi Capuana, Emilio de Marchi or Giovanni Pozza, it’s not by chance that Biffi is often mentioned in texts dealing with the Galleria, mentioning the evening concerts and the noise of cutlery and worldliness that came from inside the place, arousing the curiosity of bystanders. Today, the “Biffi in Galleria” occupies only two rooms on the ground floor and can accomodates a hundred customers. It hasn’t undergone any substantial changes since the 70s, and the green walls brimming with paintings still give this place a pleasant retro atmosphere.

The legendary Coppa Milano-Sanremo open-road endurance rally returns to re-ignite the enthusiasm of classic and vintage automobile lovers. 112 years have passed since the first edition in 1906, and seven since the last historic revival in 2011, but soon—from March 22 to March 24, 2018—a brand new chapter will be written in the annals of regularity rally history about this “grande dame” of open-road rallies, which has always had “seductive” power over Italian and foreign teams—both male and female alike. Now, thanks to a group of passionate Milanese entrepreneurs—who are motivated by the same spirit that inspired those pioneering gentlemen-drivers from another era to give life to the Coppa MilanoSanremo over a hundred years ago—have set themselves the ambitious goal of bringing this historic time-speed-distance rally back to life once again in all of its glorious splendour.

The Restaurant “Giannino dal 1899�, a gastronomic icon in the city of Milan, was founded in 1899 by Giovanni Bindi, a man with a strong acumen and belief. His son Caesar, inherited the restaurant that was attended regularly by guests such as Grace Kelly, Josephine Baker, Hilde Guden, Primo Carnera, Italo Balbo, Ava Gardner, Gregory Peck, Ian Fleming, The Dukes of Kent, and many more. The aim, after a canny and sophisticated refurbishment, is to reach an international and local clientele that knows how to appreciate an enviroment of charm, history, culture in the name of the oldest Milanese and Italian tradition.
