FUORI, curated by Sarah Cosulich and Stefano Collicelli Cagol, takes a fresh look at Italian art by breaking through the traditional boundaries of discipline, media, and genre to connect the inventive work of 43 artists, from unrecognized members of the 1960s avant-garde to contemporary players. With female, feminist, and queer explorations and representations of inexplicable and immeasurable reality, FUORI spotlights the artist’s obsession and the creative act.

The 2020 Art Quadriennale explores the role of desire in all its burning visionary forms, with work from artists such as Sylvano Bussotti, Anna Franceschini, Lisetta Carmi, and Isabella Costabile—artists who cut across generations and explore drive, obsession, and stereotypes through unexpected and imaginative work.

FUORI, a journey of the senses featuring painting, sculpture, video, design, costume, photography, and installations, will fully occupy the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, where art will rub elbows with influential and evocative cinema, fashion, dance, theater, music and writing. Via an exceptional partnership, Gucci will provide the public the opportunity to experience the exhibition free of charge during its entire run, from October 29, 2020 to January 17, 2021.
