FuoriSalone 2023: Alê Jordão pays tribute to Carlo Molino with neon installation

Visual artist Alê Jordão is once again present during the 61st edition of Salone del Mobile in Milan, from 18 to 23 April, the largest and most important global event in the sector, and also the anchor of Milan Design Week . Also known as the "light man" in the international artistic world, the artist brings to MDW 2023 the neon installation " Carnaval ". "I was enchanted by the extraordinary scenic, surrealist and pop work of the former Lutrario cinema, now Dancing Le Roi , in Turin, Italy – a project from 1959", explains Jordão, who was inspired by the playful and colorful lighting effects designed by architect Carlo Mollino . The Brazilian artist's irreverence also transforms one of the rooms at Galeria Colombari into a real dance hall, with five 1.60m-high neon lights in the colors yellow, blue, orange, green and pink.

Alê Jordão will gain permanent prominence in the city of Milan . The São Paulo native will donate the urban installation “ ConectART - Guard Rail ” to the City Hall of the Italian metropolis for one of the leisure areas of Baden Powell Park.
