EXCLUSIVE ENCOUNTER
BALBUSSO TWINS: IT’S GOING TO BE A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY.
Human Excellence Against Market Standardisation.
On Thursday, 19 November 2026, at 2:30 PM, we are delighted to be guests at the historic Civica Scuola Arte & Messaggio of the Municipality of Milan for a special encounter that means a great deal to us, held inside the School's Library.
For the very first time within a school setting, we are stepping forward to break old industry clichés and introduce an innovative, honest, and stereotype-free vision of the artistic profession alongside you. Get ready, because from today on, it’s going to be a whole different story!
Our Journey of "Two Souls" Between Milan and New York
Through a visual talk and the screening of completely unreleased archive materials, we will share our story from childhood. We will retrace our multidisciplinary education and the milestones of an international career that started from the public school system in our hometown of Udine, moved through Milan and Paris, and ultimately led us to conquer New York and the world.
It will be an opportunity to share the highlights of an extraordinary 2026, marked by historic milestones: winning the Hamilton King Award (the "Oscar" of illustration, which we had the honor of receiving as the first Italian artists in history), our solo exhibition at the Society of Illustrators in Manhattan, and the release of our monographic art book co-designed alongside the legendary studio Pentagram Texas.
During the encounter, we will explore the alchemy of our working method based on multivision and multicreativity: a unique partnership where our individual "I" completely disappears to make room for the collective power of "We".
Together, we will delve into:
- The Manifesto of "We": The alchemy of our "two-soul" working method based on multivision and multicreativity, where the individual "I" completely disappears to make room for the collective power of "We".
- The Culture of the Project: A deep analysis of the importance of rigorous archival research, multidisciplinarity, and visual synthesis understood as the culture of the project.
- An Ethical and Legal Guide: A true ethical guide on contractual positioning within the global market, the power to resist the logic of the algorithm, and the legal defense of Copyright.
The event is open to students, alumni, and the entire creative community. If you are in Milan, we look forward to seeing you there!
