On October 2001 the exhibition IN-PRESSIONE opened in the historical space of the Officine del Gas di Bovisa in Milan. The exhibition showcased a selection of works by up - and - coming artists with the intent of examining the interaction between the memory of industrial sites and the artists 'interpretations of these sites in an international-cultural context. The show presented twenty - two young artists who work with different artistic media: painting, video, photography, installations, sound and light works made up this exhibition held both in - and outside the gas - pressure room – an interesting industrial archeological site that is also profoundly connected to and integrated in the territory. Equally fascinating is the venue which hosted the project: an ideal contemporary gallery made out of red bricks with impressive cisterns and post - industrial workshops that recall evocative scenes from cult films like Metropolis and Blade Runner.
