At Malpensa the exhibition "0" ZERO POINT on sustainable art by Deniz Sağdıç
The exhibition "0" ZERO POINT – Intercontinental Sustainability & Upcycling Exhibition, dedicated to the Turkish artist Deniz Sağdıç, has been inaugurated at Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP). The exhibition presents a selection of works from the READY-RE MADE series, a project that uses waste materials to create portraits and compositions with a strong visual impact.
The inauguration was attended by Armando Brunini, CEO and General Manager of SEA Aeroporti di Milano, Mehmet Özöktem, Consul General of the Republic of Türkiye in Milan, and the artist Deniz Sağdıç.
The exhibition brings to Malpensa an international artistic journey dedicated to sustainability, creative recovery and the circular economy. Through everyday objects destined for waste, Deniz Sağdıç constructs images that transform waste into expressive matter, demonstrating how what is considered useless can acquire new life, value and beauty.
The "0" ZERO POINT project was created to promote Türkiye's commitment to sustainability and the "Zero Waste" strategy, through a traveling exhibition hosted in selected airports on different continents. The concept of "Zero Point" symbolically represents the starting point of a change: the moment in which individual awareness can transform consumption habits and the relationship with resources.
For passengers and visitors to the airport, the exhibition becomes an opportunity to reflect on the value of reuse, separate collection and upcycling through the immediate language of art. Malpensa thus confirms itself not only as an international gateway to the territory, but also as a meeting place between cultures, innovation and environmental sensitivity.
The arrival of the works at Milan Malpensa was made possible thanks to the support of Turkish Airlines, which coordinated the international transport from Argentina, the previous stage of the exhibition itinerary. The exhibition ideally unites different continents and cultures, reinforcing the role of the airport as a space open to dialogue between mobility, art and sustainability.
Direct connections from Milan Malpensa to Turkey are operated by Turkish Airlines to Istanbul, with 28 flights per week, and by SunExpress to Izmir, with 3 weekly flights, and Antalya, with 2 weekly flights. In 2025, passenger traffic from Malpensa to Turkey reached 650,000, with a growth trend of 6% in the period January-May 2026 compared to the same period of the previous year.
With "0" ZERO POINT, Milan Malpensa is therefore hosting a project that goes beyond the traditional exhibition dimension and invites travelers to look at materials, consumption and daily responsibilities in a different way.
