Tommaso Arnaldi and Francesca Pionati Present 'Focus' at Fondazione Pini in Milan
In Milan, the Fondazione Adolfo Pini has unveiled 'Focus,' a site-specific installation by Tommaso Arnaldi and Francesca Pionati, who are the recipients of the Pini Art Prize 2025/2026 in visual arts. Curated by Cecilia Guida, this project, which coincides with Milan Art Week, connects the artists' exploration of informal living spaces with items belonging to painter Renzo Bongiovanni Radice. Notable pieces include 'Unexpected Homes (series)' (2025) and 'Unpredictable Homes' (2026). The exhibition also showcases II Magazine, established in Rome in 2022, which examines media hierarchies. A reading led by Guida is scheduled for April 17, from 4 to 6 PM. This initiative aims to support artists under 35, with a residency planned for May 2026 and a solo exhibition in autumn 2026.
