1st CLASS ARTERY is the most miniature travelling art gallery in the world.
The project is the brainchild of artist Mya Lurgo and is being developed on behalf of Nellimya Arthouse, Switzerland.
The project is, in fact, a 20th-century travel trunk that belonged to a submarine captain living in Liguria, Italy, Mya’s home region.

The artists, selected from the international scene, are invited to create ready-to-wear works designed for the wanderer and inspired by the wandering spirit: that fervour that spurs towards unexplored inner and outer destinations and leads to a sense of the impermanence and transience of existence.
Recent restoration by the creator of Artery has made it a container for site-specific exhibition projects “trunk-sized”:
open 105×31×105.5 cm and closed 62×52.5×105.5.

“Artery: art + artery: a way of communication and communion between different realities converging in that same earthiness, which makes us similar and citizens of the world, boundless: born without borders.
The philosophy of 1st CLASS ARTERY exalts the most profound meaning of travel and movement as a synonym for life.
The impermanence of existence to which we are called makes us itinerant beings, wayfarers discovering what animates us.
To travel inwardly is to know oneself.
To travel outwardly is to feel at home everywhere.
We are wandering souls with a spirit of hospitality to develop to appreciate and recognise ourselves in the Human Family.
GOOD LUCK could be the wish for every newborn.
A GOOD JOURNEY could be the wish before every goodbye.
The journey, the journey itself, is the meaning of life.”
(Mya Lurgo)
