RASSEGNA MIART 2019

foglio sheet 2/2 T 05/04/2019 web web 16/05/19, 12*28 Three exhibitions to see in Milan this weekend | The Art Newspaper Pagina 2 di 3 https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/three-exhibitions-to-see-in-milan-this-weekend Under the Tiepolo frescoes of Milan’s Palazzo Dugnani, a peacock’s claws scrabble on a slippery floor in MASBEDO’s Fragile (2016). A line of young women, arm in arm, goosestep—or can-can?—around a desolate street corner into a naked middle-aged couple wearing only their hats in Julian Rosenfeldt’s nightmarish Deep Gold (2013/14), a film that borrows heavily from Luis Buñuel’s Surrealist L’age d’or . These are two of the six video installations from the Germany-based Wemhöner Collection of cinematic art in Hypervisuality: Making the invisible visible (until 14 April) . Forgive the naff title—this is a captivating, if discomforting, show, with works by the duo MASBEDO, Rosenfeldt, Isaac Julien and Yang Fudong installed throughout the palazzo, which is normally closed to the public. The combined effect is one of tingling alienation, of being caught between the real and the imagined. In a city of cavernous privately funded spaces (one-upmanship surely), the intimate, softly lit Fondazione Carriero housed in the 15th century Casa Parravicini makes a welcome change. Its domestic scale is fitting for the first solo exhibition of the Brazilian artist Lygia Pape (until 21 July; free) in Italy, with each room looking at a different aspect of the Neo-Concrete artist’s work from 1952 to 2000. While the lower floors take in her drawings and (a highlight) a whole room of colourful square Livro do Tempo sculptures, both wall-mounted and free-standing, the star is at the very top —the sudden surprise on the third floor of entering a dimly lit, decadent neo-rococo room in the centre of which the threads of one of Pape’s Tteia (web) structures glistens under a spotlight. Chiming with the zeitgeist, the Pape show is one of numerous shows of female artists across Milan this month—Sheela Gowda in the vast Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, Anna Maria Maiolino at PAC and The Unexpected Subject: 1978 Art and Feminism in Italy at Frigoriferi Milanesi are worth the trip too.
