Cassina Projects begins the new year with After Reminiscence, a group show curated by Federico Montagna which opens on Thursday 25th January. The exhibition puts together new works by eight emerging Italian artists: Camilla Alberti (*1995), Leonardo Devito (*1997), Carla Giaccio Darias (*1998), Aronne Pleuteri (*2001), Matilde Sambo (*1993), Norberto Spina (*1995), VEGA (Francesca Pionati *1990 and Tommaso Arnaldi *1993), and Martina Zanin (*1994).

In fact, younger artists more often than not give away the imprint of a professor or master, both in the conceptual approach to their practice, and in the technical execution of the work".

"Dealing with this legacy is definitely a privilege, yet a challenge at the same time. What does it mean to be a contemporary artist today?
