Stefano Canto's 'Polisidro' at Spazio Gamma in Milan
Stefano Canto (born 1974, Rome) presents 'Polisidro' at Spazio Gamma in Milan's Isola district, a space functioning as a social, political, and cultural venue, bookstore, and gallery. The exhibition stems from a 2016 residency at Viafarini, where Canto explored the architecture of the ephemeral. The installation traces Milan's mutable nature through a paradoxical process, occupying the main room. The show includes drawings, photographs, and three videos, notably one deconstructing a monument to Mussolini. The accompanying text by Vasco Forconi poses questions on the principle governing contemporary metropolis evolution and the artist's role in investigating its phenomenology.
