Projects & Events

SuART is an international event of an interdisciplinary scientific, institutional and artistic nature, conceived by art critic Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico. It consists of a conference and a solo exhibition by a contemporary artist.

The 2024 edition was successfully held in Madrid, at the Universidad Pontificia Comillas , with the solo exhibition by artist Antonietta Viganone.

Artist Tiziano Calcari was selected for the 2025 edition, exhibiting No. 48 works of art, exemplifying his path of artistic evolution.

SUART 2025 is organized by Ethicando Association (www.ethicando.it), in collaboration with Grow in Art Aps, Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid (ICADE), University of Milan (Department of Private Law and History of Law), University of Florence (Department of Legal Sciences).

SUART 2025 is patronized by the Municipality of Milan and has been selected as an event of MILAN ARTWEEK 2025.

SUART 2025 is mediatically promoted by Betting On Italy and Estro Digitale.

In an attempt to delineate the different declinations of the notion of "art sustainability," which is constantly evolving semiologically and increasingly the subject of attention in the last two decades by institutions, philosophers, sociologists, academics, sector professionals and artists, a twofold objective is pursued. On the one hand, we want to investigate the creative languages and promotional modes of contemporary art productions in the digital age, both public (museums, governmental and local cultural institutions, etc.) and private (galleries, private art foundations, auction houses, web system, etc.). On the other hand, we want to highlight and analyze the related aspects of legal regulation and economic-financial dynamics by taking the EU guidelines as a basis with a focus on the legal systems of the countries of the participating university/institutional partners. A separate focus is devoted to the territorial enhancement impact of digital art promotion with a discussion among institutional players from the selected territories.

On Thursday, March 27, 2025, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at Ethicando Gallery, Viale Luigi Maino No. 38 - 20129 Milan, the opening of the solo exhibition entitled (UN)TITLED by artist Millo Galante takes place under the curatorship of art critic Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico.

The exhibition, which enjoys the media promotion of Betting On Italy (BOI) and Estro Digitale, is part of the exhibition initiatives organized by the Ethicando Association as part of the scientific commission "Emerging Artists" dedicated to the selection and promotion of talented artists entering the world of contemporary art.

Marcello Gallimberti, aka Millo Galante, pointed out by public relations expert Giovanna Repossi, is a university student in his fourth year of medicine, who has always been dedicated to the production of artistic works with already three solo exhibitions to his credit (Padua and Milan).

His creative fire, in fact, emerges as early as adolescence when he starts "presenting the thoughts and visions that inhabit him" (these are his words) thanks to the camera, which becomes the primary tool to produce works in which the image is part of an installation in which some photographic details are transformed into physical components.

In 2018 Galante initiated the MoMiGa (Madness of Millo Galante) project, where the "completion" of each work occurs with the user's free and anonymous attribution of the title. The titles collected in each exhibition (more than 5 thousand in the first two exhibitions) are epilogized in a digital catalog published online. The titles represent the viewer's aesthetic feedback and, at the same time, the semiological synthesis of the creative product. The artist's intuition is undoubtedly interesting and shipwrecks in an original multi-voiced narrative in line with the particular creative declination in question.

Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025, 6 p.m.- 9 p.m., at Ethicando Gallery in Milan (www.ethicando.it), solo exhibition by Paola Giordano entitled (NO)FLOWERS IN THE CITY, curated by art critic Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico, opens.

The initiative, which is media supported by Betting On Italy (BOI) and Estro Digitale, runs until March 2, 2025. It consists of an exhibition of various paintings on canvas and paper, mostly related to the most recent production by the artist.

“The narrative of the urban social context - comments curator Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico - constitutes pictorial intent by Paola Giordano even in her most recent artistic production. Her flowers, deformed by the chaos of invisible forces, undergo an increasingly disturbing modulation , emerging a vision of contemporary society progressively darker and hostile to a rebirth that the artist seems unable and unwilling to exclude. Giordano's existential drama does not find a static solution, but rather foundering in the hope of a future salvation, contradicted by a contemporary 'evil' oblivious to humanity's past experiences. Recalling a phrase from a letter by Kafka to Max Brod, what matters is not the visible, but rather to detect the diabolical powers of the future knocking at the door, which, in a sense, are already hic et nunc, though not visible. Flowers by Giordano emerge from a creative de-formation in which those invisible 'devilish powers' are averted in their prospective operation; they constitute, in short, a sort of saving arm from the quicksand of the miseries of contemporary society, dominated by the vacuity of digital hyper-communication aimed at the exclusive reception of consent (like/don't like), as Byung-Chul Han would say, as well as by selfishness and overpowering that are unfortunately timeless in human history”.

During the opening, the book entitled PAOLA GIORDANO. METROPOLITAN SUGGESTIONS BETWEEN LIFE AND ART (Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico, Milan, Ethicando Editore, 2019) is presented.
