Conceived as a narrative journey through Italian abstract-geometric art from the 1930S to the 1960s, "A Distant Utopia. Geometric Abstraction in Italy". the exhibition hosted by the MAGA Museum in Gallarate, Milan showcases works from the museum's collection and institutions such as the Gallery Moshe Tabibnia in Milan, the Angelo Bozzola Foundation in Novara and the JSA Manufacture in Busto Arsizio. The display, curated by Alessandro Castiglioni, highlights the multidisciplinary nature of the concretista project in its capability to go beyond the boundaries of the visual arts and enter into a dialogue between literature, architecture, and design.
The journey ends with a focus on textile production. Selected pieces include some exceptional examples of decorative precious textiles made by Italian abstract artists in collaboration with Lombard industries, and in particular two tapestries made by the Atelier d'Arte Tessile Elio Palmisano from the Gallery Moshe Tabibnia’s collection: "Abstract Composition" by Mauro Reggiani and "Focus" by Luigi Veronesi.
