Art Museum of Italian Switzerland

In The Public Eye is a project developed in collaboration with the hospital and private individuals. Born in 2017 from a collaboration between the Art Museum of Italian Switzerland, Lugano (MASI), the Cantonal Hospital and private individuals, the exhibition project In the public eye originated from shared reflections between artists, architects, historians of the art and doctors, regarding the presence of works of art in daily life and in health centers. The Civic Hospital is a public place, which belongs to all of us and which perhaps, in a moment of our life, we are called to attend. In the public eye takes art outside the usual spaces, inserting it in a context such as the hospital one, without imposing therapeutic approaches, times, interpretations, but allowing the works themselves to communicate in a subjective way, to dialogue with the viewer, leaving him express their emotions in a genuine and introspective way.
