The founding members of Fondazione MAST are Coesia, a group of companies specialized in industrial solutions and innovation-based packaging, and Fondazione Isabella Seràgnoli, a private and independent non-profit organization created with the aim of promoting and enhancing activities and projects aimed at the community, particularly in the health and socio-cultural fields. Fondazione MAST is located next to Coesia's headquarters in a multifunctional complex with an area of 25,000 square meters for the company's employees, but also open to the community in an ongoing experiment of integration between business and community.
The Gallery is one of its pillars, characterized by two key elements: the Innovation Gallery,a space where industry and work are described with interactive technological exhibits and expressions of video art, and the Photo Gallery, an exhibition space that hosts temporary shows in photography focused on industry and the world of work, selected from the MAST Collection or on loan from other archives, international institutions and private collections. A programme of talks, encounters with authors and other public figures in the field of photography, films and videos, performances and publication presentations accompanies the exhibitions in the Auditorium
In addition, the MAST Foundation produces, organizes and promotes Foto/Industria, a biennial review of industrial photography with exhibitions displayed at the MAST Foundation and at historic sites, public institutions and private spaces in the city center.
