With its exhibition dedicated to the Milanese MID Group, the Kanalidarte gallery reconfirms its attention to the fundamental protagonists of Kinetic and Programmed art, who by now generally are recognized as one of the most significant episodes of Italian culture and artistic avant-garde of those years.
The MID Group is considered an unquestionable foundation of the most current trends, those of New Media and of the rediscovered unity of Art and Design.
MID is the acronym for Mutamento Immagine Dimensione: Mutation, Image, Dimension.
Mutation: change, innovation, predisposition to the avant-garde. Image: visuality, the area in which the group works. Dimension: involvement with the temporal dimension, that of multimedia and synesthesia.
Antonio Barrese, Alfonso Grassi, Gianfranco Laminarca and Alberto Marangoni founded the MID Group in Milan in 1964.
