自从艺术总监马西米皮亚诺·乔尼于2002年上任以来，尼古拉·特鲁萨迪基金会以将米兰市作为自己的巡回艺术空间而闻名。通常情况下，这包括征用一个隐蔽的地下室、一座摇摇欲坠的宫殿、一家公共购物中心，或者，就莫里齐奥·卡泰伦(Maurizio Cattelan)2004年备受争议的场景而言，包括三名被吊死的孩子，运河附近交通路口的一棵老橡树。

但最近的一次展览“拉格兰德·马德雷”(La Grande Madre)本周开幕，该基金会走上了流氓之路-或者说，完全是传统的。展览横跨29间客房，分布在米兰最耀眼的历史机构之一

决定开拓一个古典艺术空间，在某种程度上，是由艺术本身的规模和起源所决定的。该基金会主席、同名尼古拉(Nicola)的女儿比阿特丽斯·楚萨迪(Beatrice Trussardi)说，这次展览规模巨大。她与乔尼在每一次年度展览上密切合作，包括最近艾格尼丝·丹尼斯(Agnes Denes)构想的麦田，种植在该市的努诺瓦(Porta Nuova)区。“此外，我们还有很多非常重要的作品是由机构和收藏家借来的，它们需要严格监控的条件和安全。”

展览以母性为主题，展出了139位西方国际艺术家在1900年至现在创作的400多件作品，其中包括黛安娜·阿布斯、路易丝·布尔吉、弗里达·卡洛、萨尔瓦多·达利、马塞尔·杜尚和杰夫·昆斯。四分之三的艺术家都是女性，母性这个话题不仅被庆祝，而且更多的时候被解构、分析和暴露在它通常平淡无奇-有时是可怕-的现实中，为全世界所看到。

该展览花了两年时间构思，并计划与城市的“养活地球，能源终身”的主题。Gioni昨天没有出席米兰的新闻发布会，这对他来说是第一次。但他有一个相关的（如果有点讽刺的）借口：他在48小时前第一次成为父亲。

The exhibition opens with a reassuring, clichéd view of motherhood at the turn of the 20th century, but quickly develops a tension also channeled in traditional female roles. Photography: Attilio Maranzano. Courtesy of the Archivio Maurizio Cattelan
