exhibition · 2026-04-27

Right now, there's an exhibition called 'Pandemic,' curated by Paolo Zani, happening at Galleria Zero in Milan’s Porto di Mare. It features the work of ten artists from different generations, tackling themes like oil spills on water, surveillance camera infrastructure, meme culture glitches, and the transient nature of media through paintings and puzzles. The lineup includes artists like Neïl Beloufa, Guillaume Bijl, Enzo Cucchi, and several others. Interestingly, in this post-industrial space next to an abandoned hotel, there are no wall labels. Instead, visitors have to rely on a press release to understand the pieces and come up with their own interpretations.
