BUILDING Gallery mounts first posthumous tribute to Giovanni Campus in Milan
BUILDING Gallery in Milan presents 'Tempo e passione. Un omaggio all'artista (1929-2025)', the first exhibition dedicated to Giovanni Campus after his death on November 28, 2025, at age 95. Curated by Marco Meneguzzo, the show spans two floors and runs until May 23. The title modifies Campus's typical 'Tempo e processo' to 'Tempo e passione', marking the transition from his lifetime to legacy. The ground floor reconstructs his space-measuring practice using springs and strings, emphasizing collective creation and the unfinished nature of works. The upper floor features his 1980s cement series inspired by Gallura's coastal rock strata, alongside polyhedral canvases with iron inserts. Archival videos document performances in Milan's Piazzetta di Palazzo Reale and Sardinia.
