Take Me (I’m Yours): The Participatory Exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca

The exhibition 'Take Me (I’m Yours)' at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, curated by Chiara Parisi and Roberta Tenconi, presents 56 works that visitors can touch, use, modify, consume, wear, buy, or take for free. The project originated from Christian Boltanski's 1991 work 'Quai de la Gare', featuring piles of second-hand clothes that the public could take away. This iteration is the largest ever, running concurrently with a version at the Jewish Museum in New York until November 5. The exhibition includes performances by Cesare Pietroiusti, Patrizio di Massimo, Otobong Nkanga, and Pierre Huyghe. Artists like Hans-Peter Feldmann and Christian Boltanski return, with new contributions from Giorgio Andreotta Calò. Works range from Yoko Ono's 'Wish Tree' (1966-2017) in the atrium to Francesco Vezzoli's 'Take my Tears' (2017), where a red tear is added to visitors' faces. Other pieces include Gilbert & George pins, Herman Chong's business cards, and Friederike Mayröcker and Sarah Ortmeyer's hand-painted eggs. The exhibition explores the dematerialization of art, with works that can be depleted and recomposed. It runs until January 14, with limited capacity of 70 visitors per slot.
