Enfantillages et bizarreries : vertige d’une collection

Booking Required

An intimate assemblage presents a constellation of small objects—toys, trinkets, charms, perfume bottles, stamps, pencils and marbles—where everyday artifacts hover between plaything and artwork.
Featuring objects by Sol LeWitt, Yoko Ono, Jenny Holzer and Takako Saito, the exhibition traces a collector’s obsessive impulses and imaginative logic.
Through found objects and miniature compositions, it explores childhood as refuge, the thaumaturgic charge of objects, and how desire and loss shape the poetic economy of collecting.

Presented from the private collection of Giuseppe Garrera and curated by Andrea Bellini and Giuseppe Garrera, this exhibition assembles an array of diminutive found objects — trinkets, charms, gadgets, toys, lucky charms and fragments of wood, cloth and glass — rescued from mundane life by artists’ gestures. Hovering between toy, everyday artefact and artwork, the presentation explores the thaumaturgic qualities of objects and childhood as a site of refuge and wonder.

23 January – 30 April

London-based artist Konstantina Krikzoni presents a body of paintings born from an intense solitary studio practice. Her work blurs painting and sculpture: textured, tactile canvases where brushwork and sculptural modelling interweave. Silent yet confrontational female figures occupy compositions in grey and yellow, evoking funerary motifs and the logic of memory and grief. ARMATURA functions as metaphor and method — an internal armature of endurance that shapes emotion into form through material exploration and sustained process.

29 April – 14 June

May 1972 is an exhibition dedicated to Salvatore Emblema (Naples, 1929–2006), bringing together works produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.

16 December – 30 April
