Fragility as Generative Force: A Milan Exhibition Features Dadamaino, Morellet, Sassolino, Umberg, and Varisco

The exhibition 'Fragilità. Visioni di una forza formativa' at A arte Invernizzi gallery in Milan reevaluates the concept of fragility as a core artistic element. Curated by Davide Mogetta, the show emerged from dialogues with German artist Günter Umberg, who has explored themes of vulnerability since the 1970s. It showcases works by international artists including Dadamaino, François Morellet, Arcangelo Sassolino, Günter Umberg, and Grazia Varisco. Morellet’s neon installations enliven the environment, while Sassolino's series 'Cementi' and 'Vetri' highlight material changes. Dadamaino’s scrolls from the 1990s delve into themes of presence and absence, and Varisco’s upcoming 'Reticenze' series from 2024 interacts with the audience's movement. Umberg's 'Territorium 2026' encourages a reevaluation of personal positioning, emphasizing fragility’s significance in today’s political, social, and environmental contexts.
