From 28 to 30 November 2025, Video Sound Art Festival returns with its 15th edition, titled Never Ground<\/em>: an important milestone marking fifteen years of activity in the production and promotion of contemporary art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the Festival once again reaffirms its mission to explore the relationship between contemporary art and exhibition spaces located outside traditional circuits, choosing a new venue in the city of Milan: the Magazzini Raccordati, in the tunnels of Central Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The location is deeply connected to the theme of the 15th edition: the underground understood as both a physical place and a symbolic threshold\u2014a metaphor for the voices that throughout history have been submerged by structures of power, a gateway to initiatory descents, a place of metamorphosis.The Festival takes its title from Never Ground<\/em>, a new work by Nat\u00e1lia Trejbalov\u00e1, produced by Video Sound Art and created with the support of the Italian Council program promoted by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture. The work will enter the collection of Museion (<\/em>Bolzano)<\/em>. Acting as a resonating chamber, the Festival amplifies and deepens the theoretical implications of the artwork, developing them through a series of thematic expansions. Recent scientific research has revealed how life can adapt to extreme conditions, prompting us to reconsider the very limits of existence. Subterranean ecosystems, resilient bacteria, and life forms that challenge our understanding: exploring the depths of the Earth means opening ourselves to new biological models \u2014 perhaps even to clues about other forms of life in the universe.In dialogue with Nat\u00e1lia Trejbalov\u00e1, the Festival will also feature works by Adele Dipasquale, Nicoletta Grillo, and Andrea Mauti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
