Mimmo Paladino's Ouverture Transforms Brescia into Open-Air Museum
Mimmo Paladino, a leading figure of the Italian Transavanguardia, presents Ouverture, a large-scale public art exhibition across Brescia until January. The show features sculptures, photography, painting, film, and theater, with works installed in piazzas, churches, and the Santa Giulia museum complex. A forest of masks, archetypal figures, and alchemical totems interacts with the urban fabric, blending everyday and collective stories. Paladino narrates his forty-year career, joined by testimonies from Germano Celant, Aldo Nove, and Ferdinando Scianna. The exhibition is part of Sky Arte's programming, powered by Artribune.
