milano, chiesa di santa maria presso san satiro. ph giorgio ripa. è celebre come uno dei maggiori esempi di prospettiva illusionistica nell’arte rinascimentale, grazie all’effetto ideato da donato bramante per “aggirare” l’oggettiva mancanza di spazio dovuta alla presenza della medievale via falcone che delimita la zona presbiterale dell’edificio. nuove luci firmate artemide

the lillehammer art museum in norway was first renovated by snøhetta in 1994. the museum extension back then resulted in the creation of an independent building that married the architectural language between the existing 1960’s scheme with a more contemporary vision. twenty two years later, the same art museum has once again been intervened by the norwegian firm to include a new exhibition hall, two theaters and an interior renovation of the cinema

musées

l’apporto alla transizione di jorge m. pèrez, il miliardario americano di origini cubane, grande collezionista, che pochi anni fa ha realizzato nella città di miami il museo che porta il suo nome al quale ha donato 10 milioni di dollari in cash e una collezione di 200 lavori di artisti cubani del valore di 5 milioni di dollari. un segnale fortissimo, che sicuramente prescinde dalla morte di fidel castro, ma che mira a una maggiore conoscenza della scena artistica dell’isola e che conferma ulteriormente un’atmosfera di disgelo tra cuba e gli states. tra le opere in collezione quelle di hernan bas, carlos garaicoa e los carpinteros
