Antoni Muntadas | Homecrossing | Shanghai Museum of Glass | Shanghai | 06.11.2025 – 30.04.2026

il

Artist Antoni Muntadas presents Homecrossing: Glass Projects, his most recent exhibition, inaugurated on 6 November 2025 as part of the Annealing Program of the Shanghai Museum of Glass. The project continues the artist’s long-standing exploration of the concept of “home,” understood both as a physical site and as a mental landscape. In an era marked by overlapping global crises, the notion of home appears increasingly fragile, constantly reshaped by cultural, political, and economic forces.

Working with glass—a material of transparency, separation, and exchange—Muntadas reflects on the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, the private and the public, translating experiences of cultural and geographic displacement into a dense visual and conceptual investigation. Homecrossing: Glass Projects invites viewers to rethink ideas of belonging and to question contemporary forms of dwelling.

The exhibition is hosted in the H18 space of the Shanghai Museum of Glass and is curated by Su Wei, with Lise Li as Art Director.

Maria Calderara | Fashion and Art in Dialogue | Palazzo Palumbo Fossati | November 8–9, 2025

il

Galleria Michela Rizzo presents a new event dedicated to the encounter between fashion and contemporary art, showcasing the creations of Maria Calderara — garments, bijoux, and archive pieces — in dialogue with a selection of artworks.

Taking place on November 8 and 9 at the gallery’s new venue, Palazzo Palumbo Fossati, the exhibition stems from the desire to share Maria Calderara’s vision as a fluid space where craftsmanship and artistic research merge into a shared language.

Rooted in Venice, Maria Calderara’s brand remains closely tied to the city’s authentic spirit: since 1983, her jewelry has been crafted locally through an all-female production, while her clothing lines are made entirely in Italy. Over the years, Calderara has developed deep connections with numerous artists — from Piero Manzoni to Gianni Pettena, Antonio Scaccabarozzi, Eugenio Tibaldi, and most recently, Satoshi Hirose.

During the two-day event, visitors will have the opportunity to explore and acquire selected creations — expressions of a practice that weaves together art, craftsmanship, and personal sensibility.

Fabio Mauri | Catalogo Ragionato, curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev

il

The Catalogue Raisonné of Fabio Mauri, curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and produced by the Studio Fabio Mauri – Associazione per l’Arte L’Esperimento del Mondo in collaboration with the artist’s heirs, is now available online. The project, the result of over nine years of research, brings together more than 3,600 works—including paintings, installations, performances, diaries, and writings—offering the most comprehensive study ever dedicated to Mauri. The printed edition, promoted by MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna and published by Hatje Cantz and Allemandi, will be released in 2026 with the support of the Italian Council of the Italian Ministry of Culture. A key figure of the Italian avant-garde after World War II, Mauri explored the relationships between image, ideology, and memory. The digital edition of the catalogue, available at www.fabiomauri.com, ideally continues this reflection, making a corpus of remarkable contemporary relevance accessible to a global audience.

Artist Cesare Pietroiusti takes part in 1+1. Relational Art, the first major retrospective dedicated to the Relational Artmovement, held at the MAXXI Museum in Rome and curated by Nicolas Bourriaud, the French critic and theorist who first defined its principles in his 1998 essay Esthétique relationnelle. The exhibition offers a dynamic journey that transforms the museum into a space of relationships and interactions, restoring art’s role as a social and collective instrument. Through works, actions, and archival materials by international artists—including Vanessa Beecroft, Maurizio Cattelan, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Philippe Parreno, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Cesare Pietroiusti—the project traces the evolution of a practice that redefined the relationship between artist, audience, and context.

Antoni Muntadas | Otros miedos | Museo Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona | 15 October 2025, 1 March 2026

il

The Museo Universidad de Navarra dedicates a major exhibition to Antoni Muntadas, one of the most significant artists of his generation, whose work has deeply examined the role of the media, the mechanisms of power, and the structures of contemporary perception. Titled Otros miedos, the exhibition revolves around the new installation Entre miedos (2022–2025), produced during the artist’s residency within the museum’s Tender Puentes program. Presented to the public for the first time, the work explores the ways in which Western societies have placed fear at the core of political and media discourse, intertwining sound, image, and space in an immersive environment. The exhibition also includes a selection of earlier works that further investigate fear as a social and cultural construct: On Translation: Fear/Miedo (2005), On Translation: Miedo/Jauf (2007), Alphaville e Outros… (2011), La construcción del miedo (2008–2025), and Fear, Panic, Terror (2011).
