Michele Gabriele's First Italian Solo Show at Fondazione Pini
Fondazione Adolfo Pini in Milan presents 'The Missing Link,' the first Italian solo exhibition by Michele Gabriele (born 1983 in Fondi) at an institution. Curated by /77, the show marks the foundation's first engagement with the emerging Italian contemporary art scene, facilitated by Adrian Paci. Inside three display cases within the historic Casa Museo, Gabriele's typically dense sculptural clusters give way to sterile, hospital-like, robotic skeletal forms. Parts of carts, machinery, and lifeless tubes stand at full height, trapping plastiline faces caught in open screams—a forward-looking vision that is not entirely violent. The exhibition runs until January 31, 2017.
