Often galleries, foundations and museums are not able to accommodate the great demand for collaboration and exhibition coming from artists, especially emerging ones who just at the beginning, want to have the opportunity to show their artistic research and be part of the art system. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

There are those who face the search for an exhibition space without method<\/b><\/span>, others relying on collaborations with art curators<\/b><\/span><\/a>, while others choose to self-produce the exhibition<\/b>, as a solo<\/b><\/span> or <\/b>group show<\/b><\/span><\/a> with the participation of other artists.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In Milan, on the other hand, there is the second edition of Walk-In Studio<\/b><\/span><\/a>, a festival of spaces and artists’ studios to be<\/b> held from 20 to 24 October 2020,<\/b> thanks to which the city’s artists will open their studios and experimental spaces to organize exhibitions and events.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today the possibilities of exhibition are increasingly diversified and not always linked to prestigious galleries or institutions,<\/b> just think of the possibilities given by technology and social networks,<\/b> tools that allow artists to emerge if supported by a digital strategy and promote their activity together with new ways of exhibition in virtual places.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

But regardless of the exhibition space self-produced by the artist, in its physical or virtual mode, there will be pros and cons to be<\/b> faced before the development of the project.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
