About Us
MAalex is an artistic and curatorial duo formed by Martina Pizzigoni and Alex Fallica. We have a clear vision: art is our medium to shake consciences and make people think about modernity
​
Our mission? To subvert the rules of current art and bring it to a political and functional level. Our works range from installation to video art, shaking the viewer out of their comfort zone and immersing them in our world. (We try) to challenge conventions with disruptive exhibitions and collaborations
