Hi, we are Twenty14
Established in 2014, Twenty14 is a Milan-based duo dedicated to curatorship and art consulting in the contemporary art world, for private clients and public institutions, companies and collectors.
​
Twenty14 was founded in Milan in 2014 as a gallery dedicated to emerging visual arts, with a particular focus on contemporary photography. Following its initial phase at the Piazza Mentana venue, in 2017 the gallery evolved into a project room in Milan’s Città Studi district, focusing on site-specific exhibitions and performative projects in collaboration with international artists and designers. From 2020 to 2024, Twenty14 curated the artistic programming of Pananti Atelier, an exhibition space connected to the historic Florentine auction house Pananti.
​
Today, Twenty14 works closely with artists, galleries, and foundations, offering curatorial and consulting expertise. The team has curated and supported a wide range of projects for brands, companies, festivals, and public institutions, including Valli Tessuti, Conti Marchetti studio x Fiam, Mo.1950, Invest Italy SIM, Zona Monti Milano, Gibellina Photo Road Festival, the Municipality of Portofino, and Milano sei l’Altro.​
