Zegna announces multi-year partnership with Art Basel
Fashion continues to forge ever closer links with art and Italian high-end business Zegna has just unveiled a global multi-year partnership with Art Basel, 'marking a significant new chapter in the brand's long-standing dedication to contemporary art and cultural dialogue'. It said the collaboration reinforces its 'commitment to supporting artists and artistic institutions that explore the intersection of creativity, community, and nature'. The partnership is said to mark 'a pivotal moment, offering a global platform to celebrate art that resonates with Zegna's values of environmental stewardship, cultural consciousness, and social engagement. For the first time, Zegna is ready to bring visibility to a long-protected legacy — not to brand it, but to let it blossom'. The brand will be present across all four Art Basel fairs — Basel, Miami Beach, Paris, and Hong Kong — and will create curated experiences that 'spark dialogue between art, design, and responsible entrepreneurship'. Also key is 'Visible', a project initiated by Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto and Fondazione Zegna, which supports socially engaged artistic practices through a pioneering fellowship model. Vincenzo De Bellis – Art Basel Director, Fairs and Exhibition Platforms – will join the Visible Steering Committee. The family-owned company's founder Ermenegildo Zegna always intended the label to have strong art links and saw art as one of his primary sources of inspiration. A century ago, he began commissioning local Italian artists to enrich the town of Trivero and the original wool mill at the heart of what is today known as Oasi Zegna, a 100 sq km natural territory in the Italian Alps. And the brand has continued to commission site-specific public artworks by artists like Daniel Buren, Dan Graham, and Roman Signer, while globally, it has extended this vision by inviting artists like Graham Sutherland, Not Vital, and Kiki Smith to create bespoke wool trophies, symbolising the brand's legacy in textile innovation. Next month, during Art Basel in Basel, Zegna will present the recipients of the 2025 Visible Situated Fellowships, spotlighting artists and collectives across the world who use their work to address today's most urgent environmental and social challenges. The company's chairman and CEO Gildo Zegna said: 'For over a century, our family has believed in the power of art to elevate places, enrich lives, and shape culture. This partnership with Art Basel and Cittadellarte is a natural evolution of that belief — a way to honour our legacy while looking forward. We see art not as embellishment, but as an agent of change. By supporting socially engaged artists through the 'Visible' project, we're reinforcing our commitment to a future where creativity, community, and responsibility can thrive together.'

Legendary Italian Artist Michelangelo Pistoletto Joins the Lineup for Forever Is Now .05 at the Pyramids of Giza
Basant Ahmed In a monumental moment for the global art scene, Forever Is Now returns for its fifth edition with a name that needs no introduction: Michelangelo Pistoletto. The Embassy of Italy in Egypt, in partnership with Art D'Égypte by CulturVator and the Italian Institute of Culture in Egypt, are proud to announce that Michelangelo Pistoletto - one of the most revolutionary artists of the 20th and 21st centuries - will be this year among the featured artists in the fifth edition of Forever Is Now, the first international contemporary art exhibition held at the Pyramids of Giza that will take place from 30th October to 22nd November. The visionary founder of Arte Povera and one of the most influential contemporary artists of our time, Pistoletto will present a monumental installation at the Great Pyramids of Giza, uniting the echoes of ancient civilisation with the pulse of modern thought. His participation in Forever Is Now .05 marks a fusion of artistic legacy and ancient history that promises to captivate the world. As a concrete manifestation of his view of art as a bridge between cultures and a generator of spaces of togetherness, Pistoletto and his Foundation develops this prestigious invitation into an opportunity for an artist residing in Egypte to enroll into their Unidee Academy, in Biella (Italy, near Milan), for a 3 years bachelor course. The awarded applicant will have fees and accommodation expenses fully covered by Italian Institute of Culture in Cairo for the first year, and for the following two by Pistoletto Foundation Cittadellarte itself. Ambassador of Italy to Egypt, Michele Quaroni, commented: "We are deeply proud to support Michelangelo Pistoletto's participation in Forever Is Now .05, a collaboration that stands as a powerful testament to the enduring cultural ties between Italy and Egypt. This initiative is not only a celebration of contemporary art, but also a profound act of cultural diplomacy, fostering dialogue between two civilizations that have each shaped the course of world history. Through art, we continue to build bridges that transcend borders, language, and time. Italy strongly believes in the transformative power of culture as a tool for connection, education, and peace. Events like this reaffirm our commitment to nurturing mutual understanding and collaboration across the Mediterranean and beyond.' Pistoletto is best known for his iconic Mirror Paintings, which break the barrier between artwork and audience, and for founding Cittadellarte, a multidisciplinary lab dedicated to using art as a driver for societal change. His career spans over six decades with exhibitions at the world's most prestigious institutions, including the MoMA, Tate Modern and Venice Biennale, where Cittadellarte, for this year's edition, is starring with a special installation of the Third Paradise which will open its doors for visitors from all over the world. 'Having Michelangelo Pistoletto join Forever Is Now .05 is a historic moment for Egypt and for global contemporary art, and bringing his voice to the Pyramids is not just symbolic, it's visionary.' says Nadine Abdel Ghaffar, Founder of Art D'Égypte by CulturVator. 'I am thrilled at the prospect of starting a conversation with Egyptian art scene, artists and cultural institutions. Cittadellarte aims at making art as a bridge between peoples, across cultures and geographies. That is what art can do: connect and weave together people's lives and stories from different environments and times. I take the invitation from Art d'Egypte and the collaboration with Italian Institute of Culture as an opportunity to build a bridge across the mediterranean sea that connects Venice and Cairo through the same artwork, a symbol of creation, balance, harmony and peace, the most urgent cures we need, now, everywhere'. says Paolo Naldini, Director of Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
