Lucio Fontana’s Words on Ceramics at Zazà Ramen in Milan
Marco Andrea Magni presents 'Oggi sono proprio contento di stare al mondo' at Zazà Ramen, a Japanese-inspired restaurant in Milan. The exhibition, curated by chef and collector Brendan Becht, features ceramic bowls and plates inscribed with phrases by Lucio Fontana, taken from the backs of his cut canvases. Magni and Becht share a mutual admiration for Fontana, whose aphorisms become a fragmented narrative on the walls. The project emphasizes conviviality and human connections, with Magni describing the space as an 'architectural embrace' where artworks integrate without shouting. The show runs at Zazà Ramen, blending art, cuisine, and personal history.
