Thank you all for coming last night and for welcoming the show with such warmth 💙

Here are some installation views from “Entre chien et loup” by Ala d’Amico. That in-between moment when nothing is fully light or fully dark felt just right for this exhibition.

Some installation view of “Soy Energía,” the first institutional survey exhibition in Europe dedicated to Sandra Vásquez de la Horra ✨

Bringing together her iconic wax drawings, hybrid beings and debut video works, the show unfolds a cosmology where myth, memory and spiritual resilience intertwine. Rooted in indigenous worldviews yet profoundly contemporary, her practice opens a space where human experience, nature and transformation converge.

Opening today at Palazzo Ducale, Genoa: MOBY DICK – The Whale explores the many symbolic and historical interpretations of Melville’s masterpiece — from the struggle between man and nature to themes of obsession, voyage, and discovery 🐋

Within this wide-ranging narrative, Elisabetta Benassi presents two new works in which books are literally harpooned to the wall. One of them is Moby Dick itself, evoking the tension between knowledge and the hunt, language and survival.

On view from October 12, 2025, to February 15, 2026.
Curated by Ilaria Bonacossa and Marina Estrada.

We are thrilled to share some images from "Jean-Michel Basquiat and Ouattara Watts: A Distant Conversation ", on view at Currier Museum of Art until February 23, 2025.

The exhibition, curated by Lorenzo Fusi, brings together six artworks by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988), one of the most celebrated and influential artists of his generation, and seven large canvases by New York–based Ivorian painter Ouattara Watts (b. 1958). The two artists first met in 1988 at the opening of Basquiat’s solo show at Yvon Lambert Gallery in Paris, which was held only seven months prior to his death. Following this first encounter, the two artists quickly established a strong intellectual connection and artistic partnership.

This "distant conversation" imagines how their artistic alliance and mutual influence could have evolved over time and demonstrates how, despite Basquiat’s untimely death, their dialogue and spiritual exchange have effectively continued.
