From Saturday 30 May to Sunday 5 July 2015, the collective exhibition Sguardo Contemporaneo will take place at the Scaligero-Gonzaghesco Castle of Villimpenta (MN), promoted by the Municipality of Villimpenta – Department of Culture, sponsored by the Province of Mantua and in connection with the Mantua Museum System, the Grande Mantova Library System, the Po Matilde System, the Regge dei Gonzaga.

In the spaces of the Villimpenta Castle, the Guardian's House and the imposing Keep, around thirty works by ten artists selected nationally will be hosted. The intent is to offer an overview of contemporary art through different expressive means: painting, which today is back in vogue after decades of oblivion, drawing, sculpture, installation and photography which, not without lively debates, rightfully enters, and even in some cases excels, in art exhibitions. The different languages ​​through which the artists "look" and represent their personal reality are not clashing with each other, on the contrary, interesting references are created throughout the exhibition, set in motion by analogies, technical contrasts or by the same themes addressed.
The "contemporary gaze", the way of seeing and representing things nourished today by the abundance of information, stimuli and technical means within everyone's reach, does not however preclude looking at tradition, drawing valuable lessons from it or bringing "remnants" and contaminations of it into the work.
