In this part 3 of our Skype conversation, Alessandra Pioselli talks about the exhibitions she has recently seen in Milan. She mentions Carsten Nicolai at HangarBicocca (through January 6th) which she highly recommend visiting. Then she refers to the retrospective exhibition of Alberto Garutti at Pac (Contemporary Art Pavilion) curated by Paola Nicolin and Hans Ulrich Obrist (through February 3rd 2013). This is a very well documented and “narrated” show, as she says, and it manages to guide, inform and educate the public as any exhibition held in public spaces should do. She is not equally convinced by the related exhibition of Garutti’s students at Gam (closed on Dec. 9th) curated by Luca Cerizza. She expected a more historical and philological exhibition explaining the connections between the professor and his students. Milan is indeed very alive. New art spaces have opened in recent years. She mentions the beautiful exhibition of Roberto Paci Dalò at Marselleria (closed on Dec. 6th), a private space proposing interesting projects. Ciprian Muresan at Prometeo (through Dec. 21st) and the beautiful video Untitled and Cyprien Gaillard’s exhibition, organized by Trussardi Foundation (through Dec. 16th), and housed in a fascinating location, the military bakery of Caserma XXIV Maggio.
