Building Gallery and Fondazione Carriero: New Art Spaces in Milan's Fashion District

exhibition · 2026-05-05

In Milan's luxury shopping district, two new art venues have opened, offering non-commercial spaces for contemporary art. Building Gallery, founded by Moshe Tabibnia, a gallerist with a background in antique textiles, occupies a restored early 20th-century building. Its inaugural exhibition features Remo Salvadori's 'Continuo infinito presente,' a powerful survey of the Italian artist's work across five floors. The gallery aims to be a private experimental hub in the city center, contrasting with the surrounding high-end boutiques. Nearby, Fondazione Carriero is housed in a Gothic building restored by Gae Aulenti, formerly a private bank. The foundation currently presents Sol LeWitt's 'Between the lines,' curated by Francesco Stocchi with architectural input from Rem Koolhaas. The exhibition dialogues with the building's varied historical spaces. Both venues are located in the Quadrilatero della Moda, offering unexpected cultural encounters amid the fashion district.
