The Isola Art Center is an outstanding art initiative dealing with urban
development and city district field work. Founded in 2001 the center operates
in the Milan district of the same name - Isola. In 2003 a former factory
building at the heart of the district was occupied and subsequently put
to intensive cultural use. In 2007 the building was cleared falling prey
to the intentions of the Milan city government and a Texan real estate
development agency. Yet the activists didn't bury their heads in the sand
but decided to continue their work. Since then a number of projects have
been developed in cooperation with initiatives from the Isola district
and beyond.
