Categoria: Nesting Stations

Nesting Stations was born from a photographic mapping of most of the Milanese service stations. Each project represents a story, a critique, a dissonant utopia in the urban territory of the city, a magical and ephemeral opportunity over the standard rectangular or square roofs newly thought by the artist to become an imaginary pop-fluo space for transitory lives. A lively Las Vegas without casinos, a screen of still air, where the container does not count and where the content disappears shortly after. The exhibition creates interest on the infinite possibilities of activating these spaces: from art to advertising, from words to shape.
The project plays with the idea of creating a new landscape, a “fertile” soil that aims to re-evaluate the service stations within the urban frame of the city. New platforms for art that work like a spell over cursed pedestals. “New idioms” to interpret the emptiness and neglection in the hands of a hidden power, which sometimes dresses up in black and is called oil, and others in see through garments called gas.
