PARNASSUS BY LETIA – LETIZIA CARIELLO AT GAM MILAN
Through July 5, 2026, GAM Galleria d’Arte Moderna presents Παρνασσός Parnassus, a new site-specific installation by LETIA – Letizia Cariello, on view in the museum’s historic Sala del Parnaso. The project marks the first public museum presentation in Milan of the artist’s work, developed in the city where she has lived and worked since her formative years. The installation takes the form of a large, lightweight architectural structure in golden aluminum: an open framework that can be visually crossed from every angle, conceived in constant dialogue with the room’s neoclassical setting and the garden visible through the villa’s windows. More than a self-contained sculpture, the work functions as a mental…

STITCHING MEMORY AND BELONGING: IN CONVERSATION WITH SHAMILLA AASHA
Shamilla Aasha (Hwange, 1977) is a Zimbabwean artist and educator based in Bulawayo, whose practice unfolds at the intersection of painting, textile art, and mixed-media experimentation.

ILARIA MARGUTTI AT GILDA CONTEMPORARY ART WITH ANTIGONE
Gilda Contemporary Art presents Antigone by Ilaria Margutti, curated by Cristina Gilda Artese, in its spaces on Via San Maurilio 14 in Milan, on view until June 30, 2026. The exhibition unfolds embroidery as a practice of thought, transforming it into a conceptual and temporal device. Within the project, the slow, repetitive, and carefully sedimented gesture becomes the generative core of a research process that distances artistic making from the logic of immediacy, restoring an expanded temporality in which form and thought are co-produced. The work develops around a reading of the feminine that is not image or representation, but rather an originary principle, a field of potentiality and open…

FLORENCIA MARTINEZ WITH PUERTAS Y PAREDES AT GILDA CONTEMPORARY ART, MILAN
What is the nature of a threshold? To what extent can seemingly univocal elements such as a door or a wall be reinterpreted as symbolic devices, capable of redefining the relationships between space, body, and perception? These questions underpin Puertas y Paredes, an installation and performance project by Florencia Martinez, presented by Gilda Contemporary Art as part of the Fuorisalone del Mobile 2026. The work investigates the concept of the boundary, understood not as a fixed condition but as a dynamic field between separation and the possibility of crossing. The structure – measuring 200 × 200 × 20 cm – is composed of wood, wire, textiles, lace, and rope. These…

IN VENICE, LAURA MEGA’S TEXTILE INSTALLATIONS AND THE RECOMPOSITION OF CONTEMPORARY FEELING
The exhibition WHERE MY SOUL COMPILES presents works by Laura Mega and Daniel Pešta at Garibaldi Gallery in Venice, curated by Chiara ModIca Donà dalle Rose and promoted by Fondazione Donà dalle Rose in collaboration with MuMo – Museum Montanelli, Prague. The project develops an existential and psychological inquiry into the idea of a place – real or symbolic – where the soul gathers, recomposes itself, and ultimately expresses its deepest truth. In a present marked by fragmentation, instability, and widespread conflict, this reflection takes on particular urgency, pointing to the need for an inner space of stillness, emotional clarity, and genuine belonging. The title emerges from the intersection of…
