Featured Events in Milan in 2024 (December Updated)

Conceived by Robert Gober, this permanent installation is staged in the Haunted House, the center of Fondazione Prada. Featuring the works of Robert Gober and two works by Louise Bourgeoise, the installation finds contrast, comparison, and reverberation between their work.

This exhibition offers all visitors, from collectors to art lovers alike, the opportunity to retrace the most significant moments in the last two centuries of the history of Art, through the masterpieces of some of its main protagonists. Thanks to its founder Roberto Casamonti, the gallery is distinguished by its careful spirit of research. The exhibition is accompanied by the catalogue ‘Arte moderna e contemporanea. Antologia scelta 2024’, with a rich photographic apparatus, that delves into some of the themes of this extraordinary collection.

For his second solo show at the gallery, the Berlin-based artist Axel Lieber (Düsseldorf, 1960) has conceived an imaginary playground where visitors are invited to follow a path among enigmatic, evocative objects, and sometimes dematerialised apparitions, which question perception and confound expectations and commonplaces. Empty Promises is not just the title of the exhibition but also of the installation in the centre of the first room. It is dominated by a bare wooden structure reminiscent of the ones used to support advertising billboards, stripped, however, of its function and enlivened by a myriad of coloured fragments. While on the one hand the work nods ironically towards constructivist and minimalist rigour, on the other it reminds us that this is no longer the age of grand narratives or strong belief systems able to underpin the world, showing instead that what remains are just fragments and empty promises. What survives the contemporary foundering of the powerful ideas and grand narratives that guided generations of people in the last century are empty simulacra. These find an echo in the works shown by Lieber, which are reworked, metabolised and modified in their form in such a way as to encapsulate at one and the same time a reference to the past and a disenchanted view of today’s world. And so the artist magically conjures up colourful auras, released from apparently empty shelves; he presents complex constructions of interlocking volumes, the profile of which is outlined by very delicate structures made from medicine or food packages; he hollows out loaves of bread which, through metamorphosis, become estranging slippers; he transmutes sweatshirts and other items of clothing into the ghostly semblance of curious individuals, who occupy the space of the second room – spectators themselves besides being works on display. Ambivalence and the ability to suggest various interpretive possibilities are intrinsic to these works, where the stars of the universe are actually buttons, where erasures with a felt-tip pen open up worlds, where assemblages of ceramic, cardboard and wood are collapsed galaxies, horizons of events of a present that is also future and past. A new definition of the human – from the infinitely large to the incredibly small, sardonic, paradoxical and visionary – emerges from the works on show, where playfulness and the absurd combine with the useful and the familiar, remnants of now outmoded ways of thinking which, through the original forms offered by Lieber’s art, open up new threads of meaning.

The outstanding exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore Pomodoro's activity since the beginning of his career, displaying for the first time a series of never-before-seen artworks from the second half of the 1950s. is a fascinating journey through a remarkable career, always in motion and constantly evolving, celebrating the artistic path of one of the greatest artists of our time.
