Radenko Milak's 'Proximity' at Fondazione D'ARC: Watercolors of a Future Not Yet Visible

On October 16, 2026, Radenko Milak's exhibition titled 'Proximity' was inaugurated at Fondazione D'ARC in Rome, under the curation of Giuliana Benassi. This showcase presents black-and-white watercolors that reinterpret archival images and mass media, drawing from Milak's experiences during the breakup of Yugoslavia. A key piece, 'Umbra ante memoriam,' takes inspiration from Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy.' The arrangement of the artworks resembles a cinematic montage, with a recurring window theme that challenges notions of vision and representation. Benassi highlights connections to Italian art history, while Clara Datti, president of Fondazione D'ARC, commends Milak's fusion of Italian cultural elements. The residency program promotes artistic dialogue, asserting that genuine collecting stems from passion rather than financial motives. 'Proximity' underscores our mediated interaction with the world.
