Anneliese Müller Nisi and Aischa Gianna Müller Exhibit in Pergola

exhibition · 2026-05-04

The exhibition at Casa Sponge in Pergola brings together works by Anneliese Müller Nisi, a 90-year-old artist from Stuttgart who studied painting under Kokoschka and sculpture with Manzù, and her granddaughter Aischa Gianna Müller, a photographer and videomaker. The show explores their shared reflection on earth and sky. Aischa's contribution includes a video depicting illusionistic tricks that provoke thought beyond mere wonder, along with naive cloud-like installations. Anneliese presents sculptures assembled from rusted found objects, plowshares, and sickles unearthed in Tuscan fields, displayed in the garden, alongside informal paintings from various stages of her career. A collaborative ongoing work by both artists merges generations and messages into a common language.
