Bizhan Bassiri and Giorgio Vigna Dual Exhibitions at BUILDING Milan

BUILDING gallery in Milan presents two simultaneous solo exhibitions featuring Bizhan Bassiri and Giorgio Vigna, both exploring sculptural mediums. Bassiri's show, titled 'Specchi solari' (Solar Mirrors), occupies the ground floor with steel panels that capture sunlight, evoking cosmic themes. His works include large wall compositions made from newspaper pulp soaked in colored water, resembling planetary crusts in deep red. On the first floor, blue dominates with more papier-mâché works and a series of ink drawings called 'Pennino Inchinato,' started during the Covid pandemic, depicting monstrous creatures. The second floor features a central column sculpture reminiscent of ancient Greek herms, made from shiny copper-colored metal. Vigna's exhibition, 'Cosmografia,' is on the third floor, dedicated to experimental projects. His works use glass, paper, and copper to trap water, creating organic sculptures that resemble marine life such as corals, sponges, and crustaceans. The exhibitions run concurrently at BUILDING, Via Monte di Pietà, Milan.
