Urban art invasion at MUDEC in Milan
Cinta Vidal is part of this journey with a work created for the occasion.
The Museum of Cultures of the city of Milan (MUDEC) is celebrating its anniversary and in its tenth year it becomes a workshop for artists creating from the journey. Ten Italian and international artists have created different artistic murals and these site-specific ones give rise to the exhibition Dal muralismo alla Street Art. Invasion, which can be seen at the museum of the city of Lombardy from March 20 to June 29.
This invasion of street art in the Via Tortona museum creates a journey through 20th century muralism to the most current art and at MUDEC you will be able to see a series of works with a unique and differentiated language, with a Catalan artist like Cinta Vidal within this selection. The big question that this exhibition raises is whether it is possible for muralism to move from the street to the museum. And the answer is clearly positive and affirmative, and this can be seen in recent years with different and powerful exhibitions that have been created by top museums around the world.
The works created by Dal muralismo alla street art. Invasion maintain the condition of their own language, transforming museum spaces in an invasive and transitory way, as well as ephemeral. Characteristics that street art, or urban art, has always maintained, and transports the work inside the museum with artists who have created inside the room with their respective ateliers, thus establishing a kind of initial journey to Milan. Each of them has conceived a dialogue between memory and innovation that results in a redefinition of the limits between public and exhibition space, as well as a reflection on the evolution of contemporary urban muralism.

This contemporary urban muralism has an enormous capacity to speak to the public and the transcultural viewer and creates an immediate visual language. It is a powerful form of expression of our time and invites us to rethink the role of art in society. Thus, from muralism to Street Art at MUDEC in Milan, it invites us to go beyond the usual patterns of muralism and the ten artists express from the journey. These artists are: Luca Barcellona, Zoer, Capo.Bianco, Hitnes, Neethi, Mazatl, Agus Rucula, Aya Tarek, Mohammed L'Ghacham and the Catalan Cinta Vidal.
The exhibition tour begins with the work of Zoer, the French artist who talks to us about ruins and the Anthropocene and does so with the work entitled Corrections esthétiques. With the passage of the mural works, we arrive at the piece created by Cinta Vidal where she again challenges perspective and architectural conventions. The piece created is entitled Ramble, created at the MUDEC a few days ago and invites the viewer and the gaze to walk and change your perspective of observation of the world to glimpse new possibilities.

Cinta Vidal expresses a crazy city with interconnected environments where the concept of travel suggests movement and as she has done in different corners of the planet, with a dynamism that characterizes it with floating houses, stairs, portals and warm colors that predominate in the composition. “We live most of our time within everyday spaces, according to our unique personal perspectives, which may have little in common with those of others. I am always surprised by the uncertainty and uncertainty of human navigation,” she explains.
The exhibition ends with muralism in the city of Milan, the city that hosts the project. It is the first exhibition in Italy of muralism and urban art in a museum, but it opens the door to other museum initiatives and to increase the sensitivity and critical sense that goes beyond the aesthetic understanding of the works and far beyond the decorative function.
