Martina Simeti relocates gallery to Turi Simeti's former atelier in Milan
The Martina Simeti gallery has relocated to Via Seneca 4/6 in Milan, previously the residence and studio of Turi Simeti, who passed away on March 16, 2021. The opening exhibition, INAUGURAZIONE, showcases works from all twelve represented artists alongside pieces by Turi Simeti. The new space, designed by Davide Stucchi, features a window facing the street and a more expansive exhibition area, honoring Turi Simeti's influence. Featured artists include Alek O., Sylvie Auvray, and Costanza Candeloro, among others. A collaborative project with the Fondazione Archivio Turi Simeti is set to unfold over a year, culminating in 2029, with a debut planned for April 2026. Martina Simeti remarked that the relocation signifies a natural progression in her father's artistic legacy.
