Milan: Events and Exhibitions 2023

Today for the 2023 exhibitions, we are heading to Milano.

Bosch, Robert Capa, Bruce Nauman, Andrea Bowers, and the artists of the Seduction of Beauty are waiting for you!

Here’s where to find them.

Bosch and Another Renaissance at the Palazzo Reale in Milan until March 12, 2023

For the first time in Milan, at the Palazzo Reale, a tribute exhibition to the great Flemish artist Jheronimus Bosch arrives.

The exhibition, titled “Bosch and Another Renaissance”, presents a curated display featuring a hundred artworks including prints, sketches, sculptures, tapestries, and sculptures.

Some of the objects on display also come from wunderkammern. The exhibition is unique in its kind, as it gathers relics that rarely leave their home museums.

“Bosch and Another Renaissance” also puts the works of Bosch in dialogue with those of other famous Flemish, Italian, and Spanish artists.

Robert Capa in History from November 11 to March 19, 2023

The Mudec, in Milan, pays tribute to Robert Capa, the great Hungarian photographer, with a solo exhibition that retraces the major war and travel reports that Capa created during twenty years of career, years that coincided with crucial moments in 20th-century history.

The exhibition “Robert Capa. In History” inaugurates the celebrations for the 110th anniversary of the birth of the legendary photojournalist, telling the History of the 20th century.

Through his black and white portraits and his war and travel reports, he made known to the world not only the horror and misery of the many armed conflicts that characterized the last century and the faces of the men and women who made History, but also the everyday life made up of small moments of joy and desire for redemption, of present and future, of reality and dreams of ordinary people.

Bruce Nauman Neon Corridors Rooms at Pirelli Hangar Bicocca until February 26, 2023

Bruce Nauman Neon Corridors Rooms is an exhibition organized by Pirelli HangarBicocca, the Tate Modern, and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

Bruce Nauman has marked the history of contemporary art from the mid-1960s to today, with pioneering research that spans various media: installation, video, sculpture, performance, photography, drawing, and sound.

His artistic production shows a unique interest in understanding the human experience, its conventions, and the deeper aspects of the psyche, explored through the perception of the body, the relationship with space, time, and language.

Together with several works already exhibited in London and Amsterdam, the exhibition also includes a considerable selection of his famous corridors and rooms. Highlighting the relationships, developments, and formal variations, the exhibition will explore for the first time in their entirety the experiments carried out by Nauman in terms of spatial experience, architectural approach, use of light, sound, language, and video.

The Seduction of Beauty from October 15 to March 12, 2023

The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum in Milan presents a selection of paintings from the Gastaldi Rotelli collection in the grand exhibition titled The Seduction of Beauty. Secret Masterpieces.

This exhibition features fifty masterpieces in dialogue with the eclectic permanent collection from the 16th and 17th centuries assembled by brothers Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi. With this exhibition, the House Museum positions itself as a “House of Collections,” creating an interesting and unprecedented reflection on the role of private collecting, its history, and the consequent enhancement and enjoyment in contemporary times.

Gilda Gastaldi and Giuseppe Rotelli have gathered an exceptional core of paintings, participating in auctions worldwide and traveling in constant search of precious artworks, just as the brothers Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi did before them. This exhibition connects two important collections, expressions and portraits of their creators, reflecting their desire to live surrounded by art and beauty.

On display are works by Giulio Cesare Procaccini, Giuseppe Vermiglio, Tanzio da Varallo, and Francesco Cairo, Alessandro Magnasco, Giacomo Francesco Cipper known as il Todeschini, and Bernardo Strozzi, Michele Marieschi, Luca Carlevaris, and Francesco Guardi, up to Monsù Be.

Andrea Bowers Moving in Space without Asking Permission at GAM – Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Milano until December 18, 2022

Moving in Space without Asking Permission at the GAM – Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Milano is the first solo exhibition of Andrea Bowers in an Italian institution.

Moving in Space without Asking Permission offers an immersive experience into the artist’s work and her commitment to the fight for gender equality, women’s emancipation, workers’ rights, immigration, and environmentalism.

Her ability to convey complex issues in an accessible and direct vocabulary is a perfect example of how art can, through the aesthetic power of its languages, convey socially relevant messages.

The exhibition Moving in Space without Asking Permission is part of a broader reflection on feminism that Bowers has long pursued, focusing particularly on the relationship between feminism and bodily autonomy, with an eye to both the present and the history of our country. Moving in Space without Asking Permission takes its cue from the artist’s engagement with some contemporary Italian feminist experiences, such as her work with philosopher and activist Alessandra Chiricosta.
