Dimora Artica, Milanese Project Space, Closes After Nearly a Decade

After nearly a decade of operation, Dimora Artica, a notable project space in Milan established by Andrea Lacarpia in 2013, has officially shut its doors. Lacarpia made the decision to end the project to dedicate his efforts to the Candy Snake Gallery, which he launched in September 2021. Renowned for its avant-garde and niche focus, Dimora Artica showcased a variety of emerging talents. Although Lacarpia initially intended to hand over the artistic direction to curator Deborah Maggiolo, the space ultimately closed due to lease expiration and other obligations. Throughout its existence, it collaborated with numerous artists, including Valentina D'Amaro and Nicola Gobbetto. Lacarpia attributed the closure to a generational shift in interests and the changing landscape of project spaces in Milan.
