Triple solo show at Gregor Staiger in Milan features Monster Chetwynd, Sonia Kacem, and Walter Pfeiffer
At Gregor Staiger's Milan gallery, a triple solo exhibition brings together British artist Monster Chetwynd, Swiss-Tunisian artist Sonia Kacem, and Swiss photographer Walter Pfeiffer. Chetwynd presents two giant papier-mâché butterflies with a wingspan of over 1.5 meters, evoking a sense of impossible freedom and referencing her theatrical performances and surrealist cinema. Kacem shows a triptych in purple faux leather, exploring abstraction and the fold as a contemporary reinterpretation of Baroque drapery. Pfeiffer's black-and-white video loop offers a glimpse into his Zurich studio, capturing spontaneous moments of dressing, dancing, and listening to the radio, emphasizing eroticism, beauty, and freedom. The exhibition runs until June 27, 2026. Pfeiffer also has a concurrent major show at the Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin.
