Upcoming events
The transparent restoration
Via Brera, 28
On the first and third Wednesday of the month, one of the most loved events by the public, “The transparent restoration” resumes in the Pinacoteca: guided tours by our restoration laboratory, held in room XVIII or in other spaces of the museum (such as room XXVII , where a new “visible” restoration is underway), to respond to the curiosities of the participants and illustrate the conservation operations underway.
Presenze. Lidia Palumbi
Via Ciovasso, 5
The Antonio Battaglia Gallery inaugurates a personal exhibition dedicated to the Italian-Dutch sculptor Lidia Palumbi, a refined and silent artist. The Italian cultural background and the influence of Nordic thought converge in the development of a sculptural language in which the essentiality of the form combines with a strong emotional content.
The careful selection of the works enters into a relationship with the exhibition space, creating a minimal installation setup that gives each work the right spatial and spiritual dimension that the artist’s work requires, opening the visitor to a certain reflective calm in the observation of the works on show.

Small talks in the halls of Brera
Via Brera, 28
A free tour of the Art Gallery (included in the entrance ticket) which will tell the story of the museum and its collections, with special attention to the great masterpieces. A historical-artistic excursus aimed at raising awareness of one of the most important national museums that wants to tell everyone about itself in a new way.
Paper Dolls. Chiara Rapaccini
Via Maroncelli, 2
The Milan branch of the Il Vicolo art gallery presents Paper Dolls , the latest solo exhibition by the Florentine artist Chiara Rapaccini.
The exhibition includes a series of works including drawings on paper, sculptures and acrylics on wood and canvas, where Rapaccini, ironic and irreverent, tells the story of the female world through the ancient game of paper dolls, showing a critical and provocative vision of contemporary society addressing issues such as sexuality, freedom and female empowerment. The artist, with his unique and original style, manages to convey his ideas with strength and intensity through his works, characterized by a synthetic, decisive sign, full of humour, and bright colours, creating an open and stimulating dialogue with the public.
During the inauguration the artist will create new cartoons chatting with the public.

Symbols, art and stories
Via Brera, 28
The Pinacoteca offers a thematic itinerary focused on the symbolism of his works. The symbols of Brera refer to ancient knowledge, they tell the story, they manifest the thoughts and cultural frames of the men who once painted them. Covered with profound meanings, they have the power to reveal to the gaze what lies beyond shapes and colors.

Via Fatebenefratelli 34
Thoughts, images of Daria, a work by Mario Ceroli from 1974 never before included in an exhibition project, offers the title and inspiration for the exhibition in which it is finally presented to the public together with Tra-vasi, a ceramic work created by Francesca Zoboli.
The exhibition will be enriched by some projects from the Spazio RT collection and by some unique pieces of historical design, presented not as finished objects, but broken down into parts not yet assembled. A still image that establishes the design and construction path, opening up what is normally taken for granted and asking the gaze to freely investigate the object, to imagine it in the creative process which is dynamic by its nature.

Hidetoshi Nagasawa. 1969-2018
Via Monte di Pietà, 23
BUILDING presenta, dal 4 aprile al 20 luglio 2024, Hidetoshi Nagasawa. 1969-2018, una grande retrospettiva a cura di Giorgio Verzotti, dedicata a uno dei più grandi artisti operanti in Italia dalla fine degli anni Sessanta, dislocata in tre sedi espositive della città di Milano: BUILDING, Galleria Moshe Tabibnia, Casa degli Artisti.
Attraverso una selezione di circa 40 opere, l’esposizione intende documentare in sintesi l’intero arco dell’attività dell’artista: dai video che testimoniano le sueperformances degli inizi (per certi versi affini alle operazioni delle coeve Land e Body Art), passando per le prime sculture, dove il gesto è sempre implicato come prima matrice, fino ad approdare alle sculture di grandi dimensioni spesso giocate su equilibri arditi – che sono state la cifra più tipica di Nagasawa.

Aljoscha - Mutative Transitions into Organic Utopia
Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /home/pbreradv/public_html/2024/wp-content/themes/bdd24/homepage.php on line 485
Foro Buonaparte, 68
Tempesta Gallery presents the bioistic installation and further biofuturistic works by Ukrainian artist Alyoscha. The exhibition offers an immersion in the artist’s multiverse of delicately colored and translucent forms, inviting the public to reflect on eudemonism, a doctrine that considers happiness natural for man and assigns human life the task of achieving it, alongside bioethics, a field of research and reflection that aims to study the complex moral, social and legal problems raised by developments in the life sciences.

The mistery of water
Viale Gadio, 2
The Civic Aquarium presents the exhibition “The mystery of water” by the artist Francesco Toniutti, promoted by the Municipality of Milan Culture and the Civic Aquarium of Milan and curated by Paolo Biscottini.
The exhibition is an opportunity for the display of a series of unpublished works inspired by biblical and literary texts around the theme of water, life and destiny. Starting from suggestions born from the story of Jonah and his nineteenth-century “transposition”, Moby Dick, the journey – divided into three sections – ultimately arrives at a “pictorial translation” of poetic passages by Eliot and Ungaretti. Toniutti continues his artistic journey with over 30 works in which the figurative imagination, through the expressive gesture, reaches the point of vision. For the first time, ceramics completing the pictorial cycle are on display.

Terra Rossa
Corso Garibaldi, 125
Mercoledì 8 maggio 2024 si inaugura TERRA ROSSA, una nuova mostra di Velasco Vitali incentrata sulla produzione dell’artista dedicata ai campi da tennis in terra.
Terra Rossa ci offre una chiave di lettura, uno stimolo a interrogarsi sulla potenza delle immagini nell’epoca contemporanea e su come si possano immaginare nuove visioni a partire da questo color terra, che trasforma il campo da gioco in una dimensione archetipica: in queste opere il colore arriva alla sua essenza con il compito di raccontare o immaginare, giocando solo con la materia che lo compone.
In occasione della mostra sarà presentato il volume Terra Rossa di Matteo Codignola e Velasco Vitali, Edizioni Henry Beyle.
