Curated by Ilaria Bonacossa in collaboration with Galleria Continua Artists: Jonathas De Andrade, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Carlos Garaicoa, Antony Gormley, Shilpa Gupta, Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, Zhanna Kadyrova, Sabrina Mezzaqui, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Ornaghi & Prestinari, Kiki Smith, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Ai Weiwei, Chen Zhen. In the spaces of the Ala Scaligera, the works of 15 international artists give life in their diversity to unexpected and perhaps magical images, simultaneously seductive and frightening, capable of taking us to alternative universes far from what’s possible.  In this exhibition, curated by Ilaria Bonacossa in collaboration with Galleria Continua, the protagonist is the fantastical: relegated from the nineteenth century to the world of childhood, it becomes a way to break conventions and imagine what seems to be impossible and unknown. Ala Scaligera, Rocca di Angera (VA)
