Nancy Lupo's 'Paraselene' Opens at Spazio Veda in Milan
Spazio Veda, a gallery founded in Florence in 2017 and relocated to Milan in 2025, presents 'Paraselene,' a solo exhibition by American artist Nancy Lupo. The show runs in 2026 at the gallery's new location in the Corvetto district, south of Milan, near Fondazione Prada and Fondazione ICA. The exhibition's title refers to a rare optical phenomenon where multiple images of the moon appear due to atmospheric conditions, reflecting Lupo's interest in instability and perception. Lupo's works incorporate common objects, residues, and mundane materials arranged to disrupt readability, creating micro-systems where meaning remains indeterminate. Pieces include 'Untitled – 2026' (23 spinners with disco ball motor and battery) and 'Chelsea – 2026' (a 25-minute 4K video on a 65-inch monitor). The gallery's minimalist space amplifies the works' instability, positioning Veda as a platform for long-term experimentation in Milan's evolving cultural landscape.
