The main Marsèll exhibition space hosts a group show devoted to the latest issue of KING KONG Magazine, exploring the topic of myths and legends.

KING KONG Magazine celebrates its latest issue with an exhibition of mythical proportions, intended to amaze and thrill viewers. Contributors were asked either to reinterpret old myths and legends or to create new ones, taking inspiration from the world around us, in order to understand what these can mean today. The exhibition, which features larger-than-life figures, photographs, and hangings, mixes Berlin’s energy and London’s eccentricity within a functionalist Milanese setting. These cities have always formed a magic triangle of inspiration for KING KONG, whose eyes and mind travel much further afield to catch different energies from across the world. The artists featured in Myth and Legend are Nik Kosmas, Francesca Facciola, Keith Boadwee, Göksu Kunak, Gabriel Massan, HYDRA, Selin Davasse, BORA, Pretty Puke, Carole Méthot & Fatine Violette Sabiri, Matt Grubb, Kenyon Anderson, Shadrinksy, Rozy and Zoé Chauvet, Tillmann Lauterbach, Cool 3D World, Body Snatchers, Sasha Chaika, Unax LaFuente, Charlton Diaz, Éamonn Freel, Mclalan, Koko, Oasis of Hate, Lord of Graphix, Gian X Marco, and Davide Stucchi.
