Zero… Milano Relocates to a Post-Industrial Space in the Southern Suburbs

Zero…, the Milanese gallery founded by Paolo Zani, has moved from its traditional white cube on viale Premuda to a larger, post-industrial space in Milan's southern periphery. The new location, chosen deliberately over time, offers a more evocative and narrative environment, with logistical advantages such as easy access via metro line MM3 and the ring road. Zani describes the area as a 'non-place' with a metaphysical dimension and popular character, which he finds anthropologically paradigmatic. The inaugural exhibition featured Cally Spooner's 'Dead Time' (2018). Upcoming shows include a solo by young artist Diego Marcon, a special project for miart 2019 with Vincenzo Agnetti, and exhibitions by gallery artists Adam Gordon, Francesco Gennari, and Neïl Beloufa. Zani aims to counter the banality of art-market rituals by prioritizing quality and artist-space interaction, encouraging artists to reconsider their role in the system. The move reflects a desire for a more stimulating context that fosters genuine engagement over strategic affirmation.
