With Wool. Silk. Resistance., the Museum Angewandte Kunst focuses exclusively on rugs, carpets, and tapestries for the first time in 45 years, at a moment of renewed global interest in handmade textiles. Rather than a traditional art-historical approach, the exhibition explores these works through the lens of resistance: how rugs, carpets, and tapestries can express an “aesthetics of textile resistance.” It highlights contemporary international artists who engage with social, political, and environmental issues, using textile art as a flexible and evolving medium. Resistance here is seen as an experience of difference, generating diverse aesthetic and artistic expressions. The exhibition addresses political opposition, resilience, and endurance, confronting power structures, discrimination, trauma, and environmental destruction.

An intense and evocative encounter between two artistic languages — photography and poetry — and two major figures of Italian culture, Ugo Mulas and Eugenio Montale, who engage with the same subject: the impression and concept of the Ligurian landscape. Through the photographer’s precise and lyrical gaze, the images convey the essence, light, and silence of a territory that transforms into an inner space and poetic vision. In this context, the exhibition Ugo Mulas. Ossi di Seppia. Per Eugenio Montale, hosted in the home of Gabriele d’Annunzio, creates an ideal convergence of three major figures of Italian culture, weaving together photography, poetry, and the memory of place into a single cultural horizon. The exhibition is curated by Guido Risicato and the Ugo Mulas Archive.

Lia Rumma Gallery presents The-exchange-value-of-language-has-fallen-to-zero, an exhibition by Joseph Kosuth at Casa dei Tre Oci, opening 28 March 2026. Kosuth, renowned for exploring language as both subject and content, debuts a new large-scale neon commission, A Chain of Resemblance (2026), based on a text by Michel Foucault, highlighting how meaning is shaped by text and context. The first-floor gallery showcases Kosuth’s early works from the 1960s, including One and Three Mirrors (1965), where image, object, and text interact, reflecting the viewer and exploring Ludwig Wittgenstein’s idea that meaning is use. Three adjacent rooms feature works questioning authorship and audience, including The Fifth Investigation (1969), Text/Context(1978–79), and Where Are You Standing? (1976), with The Seventh Investigation (1970) re-created for a public installation. Kosuth has deep ties to Venice, participating in eight Biennales, representing the Hungarian Pavilion (1993), and creating permanent and commissioned works, including The Material of Ornament (Querini Stampalia, 1997) and To Invent Relations (For Carlo Scarpa) (2016, Università Ca’ Foscari).

There is a new landscape within the three arches of the Loggiato Maggiore — and it’s not what you expect. At Palazzo Ducale in Genoa comes Paradossi dell’Abbondanza (2017–2026), a site-specific installation by Marzia Migliora. Ten arches become a single scenario: storm, infestation, hybrid flowers that endure. A landscape suspended between the natural and the artificial, prompting reflection on our responsibilities. A new chapter in the contemporary “re-cladding” of the palace.
