Among the artistic institutions that are committed to the requalification of the urban landscape of Milan there is certainly MUDEC, the Museum of Cultures, which on Monday May 9th presented the first of a series of auteur murals that will be realized annually in Milan.
The first neighborhood involved in this project is Corvetto, in particular Piazza Angilberto II, where the Dutch artist Zedz created a work inspired by Piet Mondrian.
The title of the wall is “La Tradizione” and represents the natural extension of the exhibition PIET “MONDRIAN – Dalla Figurazione all’Astrazione”, set up at Mudec and recently concluded.

Zedz is an artist who combines writing, architecture, graphic design, animation and wall painting. In his intervention in Milan, thanks to this work, he creates a moment of reflection on public art in the city, which is not just a trend but a way to rethink the spaces in which we live and the meaning of art, which goes beyond the physical boundaries of museums to become a point of reference for areas traditionally less considered by the museum circuit of the city.
“La Tradizione” is a superimposition of geometric planes of different colors and textures, recovering the elements that have made Piet Mondrian’s art famous to the general public. Yellow, red, green and blue are combined to create an abstract surface in a popular neighborhood such as Corvetto. Mudec’s is an anthropological research that starts from art to read the landscape, a mission carried out over the years also through the dialogue with the artists themselves. On Monday, in fact, Zedz himself will be a guest of Mudec to talk about his work, on the occasion of an event open to the public.
