Installation views of solo show “Spaced Out” at the Gallery 🚀✨
•
“Spaced Out” presents a new series of works by Erik Saglia, made with painted aluminum and LEDs, marking an important evolution in the artist’s practice while remaining deeply connected to his previous paintings. Starting from the formal rigor of the modernist grid explored in the “Manifesti Satellite” series, Saglia transforms geometry into something alive: light becomes a true material, turning the grid into a vibrant and dynamic organism.
Inspired by philosopher Yuk Hui’s ideas of “cosmotechnics” and “technodiversity,” the exhibition reimagines technology not as a rigid industrial tool, but as a poetic force capable of generating infinite possibilities. In this context, LEDs are no longer simple technical elements, but become luminous graphic signs that radiate color, energy, and movement.
The works also recall the legacy of artists such as Dan Flavin, François Morellet, and especially Keith Sonnier, combining chromatic light, mathematical precision, and formal lightness into immersive visual experiences where structure and luminosity exist in perfect balance.

Today we remember on what would have been his birthday — an artist who redefined what painting could be.
He became especially known for his iconic “cotton ball paintings,” made with thousands of cotton balls dipped in pigment and attached to canvas. These textured works blurred the line between painting and sculpture, turning simple materials into powerful and experimental images.
Joe Zucker never stopped pushing the boundaries of art. His work still feels fresh, radical, and deeply original today.
Happy birthday to a truly unique artist ❤️

Lynda Benglis (b. 1941) is renowned for challenging conventions and reinventing materials. This approach is already evident in her celebrated Pours, first made in the late 1960s, when she mixed latex and Day-Glo pigments and poured them directly onto the floor to dramatic effect. Over the following decades, Benglis has continued to push the boundaries of form and material across installation, photography, sculpture, and video, working with substances as varied as bronze, ceramic, glitter, paper, and polyurethane foam, to create an oeuvre as surprising as it is radical.
Kunstmuseum Basel will present more than 50 works spanning the late 1960s to the present, showcasing the inventive aesthetic that has cemented the American artist’s role as one of the most influential artists of our time.
The exhibition is organized by the Kunstmuseum Basel, in collaboration with Tate Modern and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.

From painting and sculpture to fabric, wood, and unconventional media, the exhibition highlights diverse creative approaches inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s idea that “the medium is the message.” Featuring both renowned and emerging voices, the show invites viewers to experience the power of materials in expressing imagination, identity, and artistic vision.

A Dialogue Across Centuries: Saint Jerome 🪶

In Marco Cingolani’s 2001 painting, Saint Jerome dissolves into a vast field of red, with only a glimpse of blue sky above. This composition echoes Antonello da Messina’s iconic Saint Jerome in His Study, where the saint’s meditation is framed by a rigorous architectural perspective and a distant sky. In Antonello’s work, the red of the cardinal’s robe is the energetic core that warms the entire brown-toned palette of the study. Cingolani takes this to the extreme: red is no longer just a garment, but the very essence of the scene.

Last days to visit John Giorno “The Performative Word” exhibition at 🖤

A magnetic poet and performer, John Giorno (New York, 1936 – New York, 2019) transformed the spoken word into an art form. The MAMbo – Museum of Modern Art of Bologna dedicates John Giorno: The Performative Word to him.
The first major retrospective in Italy, curated by Lorenzo Balbi, celebrates one of the most radical and visionary figures in contemporary culture. A key presence in avant-garde New York, poet, artist, and activist, John Giorno broke down disciplinary boundaries. He turned poetry into a living body, a gesture capable of inhabiting unexpected spaces.
His friendships and collaborations with some of the most influential figures of the time — including Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, William Burroughs, John Cage, and Patti Smith — along with the founding in 1965 of Giorno Poetry Systems, the non-profit platform that revolutionized the dissemination of poetry by intertwining it with music, visual art, political engagement, and community practices, testify to the essential impact Giorno had on the history of art.
