7. Rotary Club Milano Brera Prize for Contemporary Art and Young Artists (a prize-purchase worth ten thousand euros for the work of a young talent, which will be destined for a museum institution in Milan) awarded to Alfredo Aceto, represented by the Levy Delval Gallery in Brussels. The motivation: “in view of the intention assumed for this edition to award the prize to a very young artist under 30, we are pleased to have identified in the figure of Alfredo Aceto an unprecedented combination of talent, formal quality and research rarely found in the panorama of a fair. Using different artistic languages Aceto explores the relationship between interior and exterior, between natural and technological environment, transforming the cockpit of a car into a screen where an imaginary landscape breaks through. From the vehicle, the artist extrapolates components of the interior that become real sculptures cast in the traditional bronze technique. In this sense his operation has affinities with the construction of digital narrative.” The jury was composed of Laura Cherubini (professor of contemporary art history at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts), Christian Marinotti (creator of the prize, editor and professor of art history at the Milan Polytechnic) and Paola Nicolin (editor at large of Domus, curator and professor of art history at Bocconi University in Milan).
