Aljoscha's Utopian Bio-Art Installation at Tempesta Gallery, Milan

Ukrainian artist Aljoscha (b. 1974, Lozova) presents 'Mutative transitions into Organic Utopia' at Tempesta Gallery in Milan, a site-specific installation exploring eudaimonia, bioethics, and bio-pacifism through translucent, organic sculptures. The exhibition, hosted in the gallery's Foro Bonaparte space, features plastic-based works that float or emerge from the floor, evoking webs, corals, and flamingos while resisting familiar interpretations. Aljoscha uses pink, blue, violet, and transparent colors—rarely green—to create a 'prototype for a new physical environment of a utopian future.' The artist discusses his ongoing discovery of ancient philosophies, his critique of rationalization in society, and his vision of a 'United Ecosphere' where biotechnology and non-violence converge. He draws on thinkers like Democritus, Plato, Aristotle, Avicenna, and David Pearce to argue that understanding the biological roots of aggression can lead to peace. The works aim to celebrate diversity, challenge xenophobia, and propose an expanded, inclusive happiness. The exhibition is on view at Tempesta Gallery in Milan.
