Becky Beasley's Intimate Installations at Galleria Francesca Minini
British artist Becky Beasley (born 1975 in Portsmouth, lives in St. Leonards on Sea) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Francesca Minini in Milan. The show features photographs, a video, and recent cyanotypes, accompanied by garden benches where visitors can sit and cover themselves, evoking winter days. Beasley creates domestic, intimate environments using large sheets, highlighting the ambiguity of human emotions, thoughts, and actions. The work engages in a dialogue with past intellectuals who, like Beasley, contemplated nature, mourning, and identity. The exhibition invites viewers to become observers of this distant conversation. The text was produced during the Critical Writing course of the Biennial in Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies at NABA – Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti.
