FREEDOMDAY - THE PRISON 01

THE ZONE. Between the towers of Isola.

FEHLSTELLE
is a collective of artists, former students of Thomas Ruff from the famous Düsseldorf art school. Here
in Milan they will erect two lookout towers, like those that once guarded the area surrounding the Berlin Wall. The location chosen is the Bussa flyover as it joins the two sides of Milan that are divided by railway lines and by Porta Garibaldi train station. The setting is that of the Isola quarter, an area that is today an open-air construction site undergoing a profound transformation, from a district famous for its craftsmen to a "Fashion District". The two 31 feet tall towers will illuminate the flyover with searchlights, thus recreating that feeling of menace and anxiety experienced in those years by the East Germans, while transforming the flyover itself into an open-air theatre at which other artists will be invited to perform.
The inauguration will take place on Tuesday 10th November from 7.00pm


ORTICANOODLES
is a tag that first appeared in Milan in 2005. The distinguishing feature of Orticanoodles is the use of the stencil technique as a new form of Graffiti Art.
For this installation, Orticanoodles will realize a wall painting named ‘The prison’, representing the constraint exercised on people by the Berlin Wall, creating a work on the side of one of the towers (23 x 13.5 feet). A live painting performance starting on the day of the inauguration that will continue on the following days.
