BUILDING Milano Opens Two Exhibitions: Alice Cattaneo, Marco Andrea Magni, and Virginia Zanetti
The gallery BUILDING in Milan has launched two exhibitions for 2026. The ground and first floors host "Un mondo tutto all’aperto," which is curated by Giovanni Giacomo Paolin and features works by Alice Cattaneo (born 1976 in Milan) and Marco Andrea Magni (born 1975 in Milan). Cattaneo's pieces, such as "Quasi mattina," utilize blue Murano glass, while Magni incorporates a line that serves as a frame, drawing inspiration from Italo Calvino. The second exhibition on the upper level emphasizes assembly, showcasing Magni's magnetic trick alongside Cattaneo's slate and blown glass floor installations. Additionally, at BUILDING TERZO PIANO, Virginia Zanetti (born 1981 in Fiesole) presents her 2023 residency work, curated by Giulia Bortoluzzi, which delves into entropy through photographs and video installations featuring salt workers.
