Fondazione Prada presents the site-specific monographic show “NADA” by Belgian artist Thierry De Cordier, expressively conceived for the three-part Cisterna building at its Milan venue. The exhibition brings together ten large-scale paintings from the so-called NADA series realized from 1999 to 2025. The first works of this series stem from the explicit intention to erase the crucifixion image. The resulting works are no longer a form of negative painting but an ultimate attempt to experience the “grandeur of nothingness” as expressed by the artist.

Emanuele Giannelli is known for his monumental sculptures that have as their subject the contemporary man in his process of hybridization with technology and technological development. Male figures are the basis of the artist's reflection: a reflection that is never critical, but that places these figures in the reflection of a mirror of art aimed at returning a vision of humanity characterized by the change and adaptation of the society in which he lives.

The design framework of "Milano città che sale" is based on the possibility of creating cultural exhibition interventions, adapting the production logic of TV series to the world of art exhibitions, or using the serial mode that contemporaneity enjoys today on various on-demand channels, applied to the world of art exhibitions.

The project consists of seven episodes/exhibitions, each lasting 21 days: Elio Vittorini and Milan, Albe Steiner Research Notebook, Giovanni Testori and the Secrets of Milan; the case of Arialda, Tullio Brunone; Laboratory of Militant Communication, Milanottanta, Paolo Rosa; The Swimmer (He Goes Too Often to Heidelberg) and Around, Luisa Spinatelli.

Berruti is one of the most recognizable Italian artists in the world and has exhibited in dozens of international museums: this exhibition consistes of large, interactive, and scenographic installations. There are therefore sculptures, projections, scenic "mechanisms". The theme that will accompany the viewer through the exhibition is childhood, a subject treated by Berruti throughout his entire career. Childhood is our common denominator, a moment that we all shared. Berruti's works speak to us precisely about that specific moment in life when everything is still to be decided, by transporting it into a metaphor that goes much further.

“Sueño Perro: Instalación Celuloide de Alejandro G. Iñárritu” is a global multisensory exhibition rooted in the intersection of cinema and visual art, created by Academy Award-winning Mexican filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Amores Perros (2000), Inarritu’s legendary debut feature, “Sueño Perro” brings to light never-before-seen footage which speaks to Amores Perros’ enduring themes of love, betrayal, and violence. These gritty vignettes, once abandoned on the cutting room floor and conserved for a quarter of a century in the film archives at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, capture the charged and interconnected sociopolitical realities of Mexico City, still relevant decades later.

Drawing on the raw power and visual poetry of these forgotten images, Iñárritu reimagines their impact through a mosaic of celluloid and sound. At the heart of the installation is a deep reverence for the materiality of 35mm film, whose physical grain, flicker, and warmth evoke a deep sense of nostalgia.

As part of “Sueño Perro”, a visual and sound display will be conceived by the Mexican writer and journalist Juan Villoro for the first floor of the building. Titled “Mexico 2000: The Moment that Exploded”, it will offer a second layer of narrative from a different perspective. With his display, Villoro will map the political, familial, societal, religious and economic conditions that gave birth to the three intertwined stories narrated in this film.

Palazzo Reale presents Appiani. Il Neoclassicismo a Milano, a major exhibition dedicated to Andrea Appiani (Milan, 1754-1817), a pivotal figure in Italian Neoclassicism and protagonist of painting between the Enlightenment and the Napoleonic era. This long-awaited rediscovery of an artist greatly admired by his contemporaries marks the beginning of a new, in-depth critical reevaluation.

Through a carefully curated selection of over 100 works from Italian and international public and private collections, the exhibition retraces Andrea Appiani’s artistic journey, revealing to the public the richness and dynamism of Neoclassical Milan, of which he was both the symbolic artist and “First Painter” of the Kingdom of Italy.

Accompanying the exhibition is a rich catalogue published by Electa, featuring introductory essays, critical analyses, and scholarly entries on the works on display.

The retrospective "Man Ray Forme di luce" will allow the public to follow the biographical stages and career of the American painter, photographer, and director, one of the protagonists of twentieth-century art.

Man Ray is one of the most influential figures in 20th-century art history. He was among the first to embrace photography as an actual creative medium, by realising iconic works that became symbolic milestones in the evolution of modern art.

Through a thematic journey (self-portraits, muses, nudes, rayographs and solarizations, fashion), this exhibition offers the rediscovery of a truly one-of-a-kind artist and brilliant pioneer.

Conceived and designed by Luchford himself specifically for the 10 Corso Como Gallery, an internationally recognised hub for photographic research, the exhibition is not conceived as a classic retrospective, but as a vibrant site-specific project. It offers a journey through the artist’s imagination, bringing together over thirty years of work in a single continuous flow. Iconic shots, fashion campaigns, personal images, and memories blend seamlessly with outtakes, mistakes, and moments of reconsideration.

Glen Luchford has redefined the visual language of several decades with his irreverent, cinematic approach, shaping the visions of creative directors and major brands while also collaborating with leading fashion magazines. His work is considered cult by more than one generation of creatives, at the intersection of editorials, campaigns, and personal projects.

Featuring 90 works by Escher, including engravings, watercolors, woodcuts, and lithographs, along with over 40 Islamic comparison objects, the exhibition explores the artist’s relationship with his sources of inspiration. It traces his evolution from his early days influenced by Art Nouveau, to the discovery of Italian landscapes, up to his full maturity, marked by tessellations, metamorphic cycles, optical illusions, and representations of infinity, which made him famous thanks to a unique visual language that combines art and mathematics.

The exhibition also sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of his career: his deep connection with Islamic art. Key characteristics of Islamic aesthetics, such as symmetry, modular repetition, and abstract spatial vision, played a crucial role in helping Escher move beyond the naturalistic representation of reality.

Finally, the exhibition centres on Escher, who integrated this ‘graphic universe’ into his stylistic identity, even throughout his wide-ranging commercial work. The exhibition showcases how Escher’s remarkable talent was applied to different realms of graphic design.
