Fondazione HangarBicocca

The HangarBicocca Foundation is an institution dedicated to contemporary art that  offers an exhibition programme featuring Italian and international artists, accompanied by a series of live events, encounters with artists and teaching labs open to schools and the general public.The project, the brainchild of the Pirelli company, is the result of a process that has led to the reconversion of a vast industrial production facility into a space dedicated to art, inaugurated in 2004 with the realization of Anselm Kiefer’s I Sette Palazzi Celesti, the artist’s most important sitespecific artwork. Beginning in 2012, HangarBicocca has presented to the general public exhibitions entirelyconceived and produced for its spaces – the Shed, Navate and Cubo – alternating works by renowned artists with others by younger artists who have already established an international reputation.
