Uri Aran's First Italian Retrospective Opens at MADRE Naples

Uri Aran's first retrospective in an Italian museum, "Untitled (I love you)", opens at Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donnaregina – MADRE in Naples on February 12, 2026, running until May 18. Curated by director Eva Fabbris, the exhibition spans 800 square meters and features over 170 works, including historical installations and new pieces created for the venue. The title references one of Aran's early videos. The show traces his practice from the early 2000s to the present, highlighting his hybrid use of sculpture, video, sound, performance, and narration. Aran's work explores language, meaning, memory, and sentimentality, often using mundane objects and passport photos to question identity and communication. President Angela Tecce emphasized the museum's critical role, while Fabbris noted the exhibition's ability to convey complexity without spectacle. A catalog accompanies the show, and a public program with international curators and artists will run alongside it.
