exhibition · 2026-05-04

Giorgia Panseca, daughter of gallerist Filippo Panseca, is opening a new gallery called A’NICA on February 16 in Milan’s Zona Tortona at Via Lanino 1. The gallery aims to promote emerging Italian and international artists and to attract both art professionals and the general public through interactive strategies, including QR codes around the city, impactful social media communication, and collaboration with international events in Milan. The inaugural exhibition is a solo show titled Complexity by Albanian artist Eltjon Valle (born 1984 in Kuçova), focusing on ecology and the expressive potential of materials in urban and natural contexts. Panseca, who studied at Brera Academy and was a co-founder of the curatorial group OUT44, cites her father’s 1960s Palermo gallery Il Chiodo, which staged street exhibitions, as an inspiration for making art more accessible. She met Valle when he was a student at Brera and has followed his career for fifteen years.
