MARZIA MIGLIORA | Lotta per l'esistenza | Solo show | Arte Sella, Borgo Valsugana, Italy

On Saturday, June 21 2025, Arte Sella inaugurated the solo exhibition of Marzia Migliora, Lotta per l’esistenza (Struggle for Existence), a project unfolding between the ground floor of Villa Strobele and the interior of Malga Costa. Curated by Lorenzo Fusi, the exhibition brings together three groups of works created by the artist in response to the unique landscape of Val di Sella. The exhibition marks the beginning of a new collaboration that will culminate in a project dedicated to the reopening of a mountain path connecting the two exhibition spaces. The trail, damaged by the Vaia storm, is currently being restored and will soon become accessible again. During her numerous site visits, Migliora collected reflections on the landscape and the history of the area in two notebooks, which became the foundation for her artistic project. Lotta per l’esistenza explores, through poetic and visual language, the relationship between nature, human intervention, and ecological transformation, questioning the forces reshaping the natural world in a time marked by climate instability and environmental crisis. The solo exhibition evokes an increasingly hybrid and fluid world, which in her practice becomes an ironic, dreamlike, and at times unsettling dimension where different forms of life, matter, and imagination coexist.

MARZIA MIGLIORA | On Paradise | Villa Schöningen, Potsdam, Germany

The group exhibition On Paradise explores the idea of paradise as a cultural construction: a place of desire, projection, control, and transformation. Hosted at Villa Schöningen in Potsdam, the exhibition investigates how visions of paradise have shaped landscapes, bodies, social structures, and political imaginaries, bringing together historical references and contemporary artistic perspectives. The exhibition is curated by Dr. Anne Daffertshofer and Pola van den Hövel. For the exhibition, Marzia Migliora presents Paradossi dell’abbondanza #43 (C’est à ce prix que nous mangeons du sucre), a work created in 2021 from her ongoing series Paradoxes of Plenty. Through archival imagery and visual fragments connected to the history of sugar production, Migliora reveals the hidden economic, colonial, and ecological consequences behind the idea of abundance and prosperity. Her work questions the relationship between consumption, exploitation, and the systems that transform natural resources into symbols of wealth and pleasure. Within On Paradise, the piece challenges the idealized image of paradise by exposing the historical inequalities and power structures that often sustain it.

WILLIAM KENTRIDGE | L'Orfeo | Performance | Glyndebourne Festival, UK

At the 2026 edition of the Glyndebourne Festival, South African artist and director William Kentridge presents a new staging of L'Orfeo, marking Glyndebourne’s first-ever production of Monteverdi’s 1607 masterpiece. Kentridge transforms the myth of Orpheus into a meditation on artistic creation, memory, loss, and the power of images, creating a constantly shifting visual landscape. In L’Orfeo, themes of memory, history and displacement are translated into a visually immersive environment where art itself becomes a protagonist alongside the opera’s characters.

LUCA MONTERASTELLI | Lo sventurato regno | Solo show  | spazio C.O.S.M.O.

Inspired by an imagined episode from the life of Bernard de Mandeville, this installation reflects on the fragile relationship between power, accident, and consequence. A minor domestic incident — a spilled cup of tea, an interrupted gesture, an expression fixed in a portrait — becomes the starting point for a meditation on chance and the invisible chain of events set in motion by every human action. At the center of the work is a scaled plaster interior: a vaulted room, an entrance, a half-open door, and a functioning chandelier illuminating the scene. Within this suspended and silent space stands a wax figure, motionless at the foot of a staircase, one hand extended in an ambiguous gesture of request or supplication. Balancing between theatricality and stillness, the installation evokes a world where collapse never fully arrives, yet absence and misfortune quietly persist. The domestic setting becomes a metaphorical architecture of power, uncertainty, and unresolved expectation. Viewing by appointment only.

ANSELM KIEFER | Giovanni Segantini (1858-1899). I want to see my mountains | Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris, France

This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to rediscover the visionary world of Giovanni Segantini, one of the leading figures of European Symbolism and Divisionism. Bringing together paintings, pastels, and drawings from important international collections, the exhibition traces the artist’s profound relationship with nature and the mountain landscape that shaped his life and imagination. For Segantini, the mountains were far more than a subject: they became a spiritual and symbolic universe through which he explored light, solitude, motherhood, labor, and the cycle of life. Suspended between realism and symbolism, his works reveal a deeply emotional vision of nature, where luminous color and atmosphere transform the Alpine landscape into a timeless, almost mystical dimension. Through over sixty works, the exhibition follows the evolution of Segantini’s artistic language, from his early Italian years to the monumental Alpine compositions created in Switzerland. Rare drawings and pastels further highlight the artist’s sensitivity and his mastery of light, atmosphere, and form. Curated by Gabriella Belli and Diana Segantini.
