Curated by Marco Peri, the project saw the creation of a large mural on the facade of the building in front of the MAN entrance, first covered with a paneled surface in construction wood. A public art operation and at the same time urban redevelopment, the mural was executed in the days between 14 and 15 May and concluded on Saturday 18 May in the presence of the public. The different stages of realization of the work were documented by the videomaker Gian Mario Atzeni (Giado).

Born in Cagliari in 1984, Federico Carta, aka crisa , approached the world of writing at a very young age. In 2001 he began painting on recycled materials, focusing on an original style that projected him onto a new artistic path. Alongside the spray can – a favored tool in traditional writing – Carta combines experimentation with different techniques such as water-based paint, oil tempera and enamel. Made on canvases, rusty sheets or other recycled supports, Federico Carta’s works deal with the theme of the relationship between nature and urbanisation.

Carta lives and works in Cagliari, has painted many walls in his city and exhibited his works in various galleries, in Sardinia and abroad. Since 2008 he has been involved in social work with artistic projects aimed at young people in the Quartucciu juvenile prison and in the Cagliari psychiatric service. In 2009, one of his site-specific interventions enriched the collection of the Tiscali Campus of Sa Illetta. In 2011 he exhibited at the PAV of the Time in Jazz Festival in Berchidda, within the exhibition Earth .

The inauguration of Federico Carta’s project was included in the events organized by the MAN Museum on the occasion of Museum Day. The event, which took place in the street, was accompanied by a DJ SET by Stefano Ferrari (http://www.menion.org/). Composer and instrumentalist born in Nuoro, his productions are a mix of electronic music, Glitch Hop, Ambient and post-rock.
