The jury of the second edition of the Matteo Visconti di Modrone Prize at MIART 2024 unanimously awards the artist Luca Monterastelli (Forlimpopoli, 1983), recognising the value of his many years of research in sculptural practice. The jury awards the prize in the conviction that the confrontation with a material as new to the artist as bronze will open up interesting new paths within his research.

The exhibition ARCHIVIALE_001 will open at the Museo del '900 on 10 April and will be on show until 30 June 2024. Unfortunately, the Museo del '900 will be closed from 11 to 13 April due to the G7 meetings in Milan, and will reopen to the public on Sunday 14 April. Archiviale_001 is the first seed of a research that aims to reconstruct over seventy years of history of private galleries in Milan, with their artistic choices, international relations, avant-garde events and encounters with artists. Archiviale_001 presents a first repertory of documents that provide guidelines for bearing witness to an important and ever-living reality, bringing the public into contact with a trans-generational, inclusive cultural community founded on refined professionalism, entrepreneurial skills and great passions, risks and premonitions.

The Archivio Vicenzo Agnetti presents the exhibition "Tra me e l'alfabeto inesistente", which opens on the 8th of April to accompany the Milan Art Week, and which features some of Agnetti's works. It will include his self-portrait "When I saw myself I was not there", a multi-vocal performance in dialogue with the sound of the Neg (the pausometer patented by Agnetti in 1970), a video by the two artists on the relationship between absence and presence, and paintings that they have conceived as a series of alphabets capable of restoring the profound sense of pause.

This presentation will bring together works specially created by the artist for the museum’s very special architecture, in dialogue with that ode to nature and beauty formed by Monet’s Nymphéas. In the works of Wolfgang Laib (born in Germany in 1950), nature invades art. As a result, his materials, which include pollen, milk, rice and beeswax, dictate the final forms of the simple, geometrically-shaped sculptures created by the artist (squares, cones and alignments). Each of his works is presided over by a series of simple, economical actions involving a relationship with nature.

The Kestner Gesellschaft is delighted to announce a new façade project: BE AFRAID OF THE ENORMITY OF THE POSSIBLE. The title of this work is based on a quote from the Romanian philosopher Emile Cioran (1911-1995). Emile Cioran is one of Alfredo Jaar's favorite authors and is frequently quoted by the artist. The artist chose this quote because of its deep ambiguity. As is his way, Cioran expresses here an idea and its possible opposite.
