The exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca is the first solo show in Italy devoted to the artist and it presents a selection of some of his main projects and sculptures.

Renowned since the Eighties, Miroslaw Balka’s first works focused on the human figure, represented through commonly used materials such as wood, ash and soap. In the Nineties, Balka (1958, Warsaw) then abandoned anthropomorphic sculpture in favour of forms – such as beds, platforms and fountains – that allude to human presence but without ever representing it.
