I can say that Mario García Torres follows the tracks of some lucky colleagues with a three-word name: Félix González-Torres, James Lee Byars, Cerith Wyn Evans, Gino De Dominicis, Alighiero e Boetti. It was precisely through Alighiero that we met on Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, where [...]

July 2023 The art year begins in September and ends after Basel, in July. This year it is very warm and everyone is looking for fresh ideas to not get burned. I don’t want to interrupt this need and disturb with false cultural proposals. We all know very well that gallerists always try to [...]

These ghosts (Questi fantasmi) A comedy by Eduardo di Filippo that sees actors like Marcello Mastroianni, Franca Valeri, Renato Rascel, to name but a few, rise to fame.There are phantasms, phantoms, ghosts of every kind, often dwelling after death in castles that they do not want to leave and [...]

Dear Anish, dear Giulio, this is, respectively, your sixth and seventh solo exhibition presented at the gallery. It therefore came naturally to ask you for a meeting in the space that had seen you separately as protagonists. Your two opposing attitudes are now recomposed here. Not only the works [...]

What is Rama de Monedas? Dead easy, it is Pinocchio! In the Field of Miracles, the Fox and the Cat dig a hole in the ground to plant the gold coins that the puppet was carrying, having promised him that one day they would grow into trees and multiply. Pinocchio is a gullible simpleton; actually, [...]

A METHOD ARISING FROM THE INITIAL RESEARCH INTO THE PERCEPTIVE AMBIGUITY OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE It is almost impossible to define Enzo Mari. An artist, an industrial designer, an architect, a graphic artist, as well as a theorist, a pedagogue, an intellectual, possibly a philosopher, a utopian: [...]

Finding a title for an exhibition is never easy, but in this particular case it has certainly been fun. Though the connection between the works of Rebecca Ackroyd, Ludovica Anversa and Maryam Hoseini may seem obvious to a degree, all of them use a very different language and can be read in [...]

Those who veil knowingly arouse in the viewer the desire to see more [...]

We cannot look the other way. I really love this “show”, which takes place – finds its place, I daresay its haven-, in Galleria (Minini) as in a natural harbour where we can drop anchor once again. The show has my total partisan support. So much so that when we take it down in two [...]

On the occasion of her first solo show with the Gallery, (Ceal) Floyer watches as we walk along the path leading to the entrance. A panel of the frosted glass door stands out in its transparency affording a glimpse of the gallery’s interior, apparently empty. Somebody is coming to the door [...]

This is not a press release. But, please, keep reading. The murderer is only uncovered in a thriller’s last page. As I have already stated in a text written for a similar event (How NOT TO Write a Press Release), a press release must be in disguise and appear to be something else. If you [...]

Titina Maselli painted cityscapes, in full daylight and at dusk, with neon lights and signs, overhead tram lines cutting through a lit background, yellow and red modular skyscrapers. In her cities lived, fell and ran footballers, boxers and cyclists, captured in the act of giving or receiving the [...]

Saturday 19th September 2020, annus horribilis, Eva Marisaldi and Stefano Arienti, two delicate champions of their generation, will hold the umpteenth show in our gallery. Umpteenth because they have held many ─not too many, but enough to give us a precise idea of their respective work. Work that [...]

With these two solo shows, we renew our interest in figurative painting and its big comeback. In truth, the figure has been back for a while; actually, it was never completely gone. Indeed, behind the comeback are the same artists who had shut the door on it. Let’s think for a moment… [...]

“I was often trying to define architecture as sculpting the void. Indeed, the material that makes architecture is penetrable empty space. You can appreciate it from inside. But emptiness in itself is not visible. Something must contain it. Architectural space is contained generally within a box. [...]

glimpses, the third solo show of David Maljković at the gallery, presents elements coming from both the Gallerist and the artist. The exhibition revolves around a network of different signs, fragments, transformations of artifacts that refer to the worlds mentioned. The artworks, in dialogue with [...]

Let’s take back the Arts, let’s take back the Planet. Sinister creaking sounds can be heard here and there; even the ugly birds of ill omen are announcing UFOs, meteorites, prophecies. The nuclear fear behind us ─how come we are no longer afraid?─ we come up with a new fear. Yet, [...]

Something small and ephemeral hides surrounded by tons of matter. Study, craftsmanship and ingenuity merge to construct something monumental, epic. Variations on destruction and abandonment looked upon with a positive eye and turned into construction and creation. Reflections on everyday beauty, on [...]

The gallery has insisted I write a press release for Carla Accardi. Two exhibitions in two spaces, mine in Brescia and Francesca’s in Milan, for a single project. I gave it a few tries, before realizing that Carla simply doesn’t need a press release. Everybody already knows who she was, [...]

Bertrand Lavier was already well known in the ‘70s, with photographic works that had been in the Venice Biennale, but I met him in Paris, at Eric Fabre’s, where I saw a beautiful show, by a young surprising man. Large objects, a grand piano among other things, slathered with big daubs of [...]

“Da uno a dieci” starts out as a joke. It emanates from one of my passions — a passion for carpets and rugs that goes back a long way, stirred up by Seth [...]

Dear Massimo, many apologies for my delay. Writing these notes has taken more time than expected. The reason is that there have been many versions of this show and by extension, any attempt to annotate and describe a definitive reading has felt unnatural. These notes are about some of these [...]

What can I say? I’m really very fond of Vanessa. I could end this press release right there. Can you imagine? Massimo Minini publicly confesses to his affection for VB. Maybe just looking to go viral? To grab a little attention in an unimaginative world where press releases invariably start off [...]

Can art be put at the service of the mind? Marcel Duchamp made this a principle, Shusaku Arakawa made it a reality. Arakawa, an artist who was anything but local in his thinking, left Japan to plunge into the New York scene of the ’60s. With one goal: to create mental art, a science of [...]

Recognize a shaky graph in a broken line made up of rough wooden poles. Imagine the infinity symbol as a road taking you on an ongoing, never-ending journey. Project, from a bright beacon, a small beam of negligent colours. Stop and think: a golden chain is still a chain; a scented orchid will [...]

The walls of a great sculptor’s studio are like the walls of a Stone Age cave, like the carved rock of Tassili, Mont Bégo, Val Camonica, those grand sites that swarm with the marks of Prehistory. Sculptors can sometimes be messier than painters: the latter often have nice worktables, pencils, [...]

I met Giovanni Anselmo at the Sperone Gallery on Corso San Maurizio in Turin, back when I would go on pilgrimages to that temple of Arte Povera and minimalism: a radical, humble, austere space, concrete floor with little holes left by the roller, expansion anchors, white walls… In those days, [...]

And now, to wind up a season of so many adventures—six fairs (Paris, Turin, New York, Milan, Brussels, and soon, Basel), major shows (David Malkovic, Enzo Mari, John Hilliard, Sheila Hicks, Roger Ballen), the publication of four short books in a new 15×15 cm series (Stanley Brouwn, Enzo [...]

“Home” is not just a common name of a thing. “Home” is a huge and complicated idea which in itself includes more, much more. Time, people, matters, feelings, dreams, images, memories, possibilities. A life, so many lives. The Life. When you are thinking about your life, you [...]

Sheila Hicks touches materials and transforms them, through tiny shifts in meaning. She takes skeins of yarn and linen, untwines them, recomposes them, and these materials, which no one would have given a second look in a shop window, become uselessly beautiful, an object of [...]

John has always practiced an ambiguous kind of photography. At first glance, it’s not clear what’s going on. It takes time to understand his work; slight shifts of image and meaning slowly overlap to form the final picture—assuming there is one, as opposed to two or [...]

Landon draws fields on the white canvas, then fills them with color, the way Wolfgang Laib fills his sculptures with milk. He moves the color around until he has used up the desired form. His painting occupies space, like Morris Louis’s or Helen Frankenthaler’s; his work alters the place, like [...]

...the show will present images of the gallery “arranged” with his customary methods and objects of ours organized into groups, collected and exhibited on shelves in midair, to be looked at from below, in the attempt to grasp not only the work of this young genius, but the work of a now [...]

Another show with Dan Graham, and in his case as well, forty years have gone by since our first, in [...]

hands make mistakes suggests that something sudden and seemingly unintended is about to happen. Schlesinger’s work constantly explores how a negative event can be turned into a positive one, how something out of the ordinary can become a creative possibility. And so even the mistakes of the hands [...]

An exhibition that brings together two huge names in international photography: Joel-Peter Witkin (b. 1939 in Brooklyn) and Paolo Gioli (b. 1942 in Rovigo, Italy). These photographic giants, who have been anxious to encounter each other for quite some time, are finally meeting up through the [...]

“At Art Unlimited a few years back, I presented Nedko Solakov’s work A Beauty: a big white whale with a snowy pelt of fake fur. Inside its belly, like Jonah, was a shining painted moon, but to see it, you had to get down on your knees with your rump in the air… As I’m [...]

Già quarantanni! November 1974 – May 2014 ­ In 1973, while trying to figure out the programming for the gallery I was about to open, I visited a few artists to announce the upcoming launch. One was Daniel Buren, whom I’d known for some time. So I went to Paris,and told him about my new [...]

How does one go about writing a press release for a young artist who’s yet to be well known, whose work is delicate, lyrical, evolving, weaving its own poetry day by day around ideas that are deep and firm, but still in the making? How does one go about describing a show primarily made up [...]

For his first show in Italy, John Isaacs is presenting a single new work in the main room of the gallery: a large sculpture, made out of Carrara marble, whose traditional technique calls to mind a famous artwork from the past. It is a very striking physical presence that summons up varied insights [...]

Monica Bonvicini’s practice combines a meticulous attention to form with an equally pressing examination of the social aspect of architecture and public space, as well as how it can be used to construct sexual identity. Her sculptures, installations, photographs and videos question the neutrality [...]

This Is a Working Title (The Exhibition as Explained to Tommaso) Tommaso is a beautiful little boy, just six months old. He has an attentive gaze and a devastating smile. His grandfather Massimo, well acquainted with his precocious intelligence, is convinced that you could even talk to him about an [...]

Another duet in the celebrations for our forty-year milestone, which among other things, involve the publication of a five-hundred-page book about our work. Let’s just say we’re putting together a season in which we ourselves are curating the shows, unlike all the previous ones, where the [...]

Another installment in the series of double solo shows that may well continue for the entire season, to celebrate our first forty years in business. The gallery opened its doors in 1973, and we’ve even resurrected our original A4 invitation format of the time – more simple and [...]

“I never got the chance to meet FRANCESCA WOODMAN, even though she lived in Rome for a few months between 1977 and 1978. I went there often in those days to see artists, friends, critics. I associated with the art world that surprised me at the time, seen through the eyes of colleagues who lived [...]

For his first solo show at Galleria Massimo Minini, Olivo Barbieri is presenting a series of 17 large-scale photographs that explore the form of contemporary cities and the way space is perceived. Seen from above, the city looks like a giant scale model, ruled by a motionless time that coincides [...]

“Living in the forest, I feel the presence of many treasures breathing quietly in nature. I call this presence “Shizuka.” “Shizuka” means cleansed, pure, clear, and untainted. I walk around the forest and harvest my “Shizuka” treasures from soil.  I try to catch the faint light [...]

The fourth solo show by Robert Barry (b. 1936 in New York) at Galleria Massimo Minini encompasses various types of work that the artist has experimented over his long artistic career. As the title suggests, it includes pieces both old and new, of different dimensions and in different mediums, all [...]

For his sixth solo show at Galleria Massimo Minini, Giulio Paolini has created four new large-scale works. Each room houses a single piece, its title evoking another one previously exhibited by the artist at the same gallery. “The new, unexpected elements in these images nonetheless incorporate [...]

WHAT’S GOING ON OUT THERE? (The Paintings of Paul P.) This isn’t the umpteenth ode to the return of Painting, in part because Painting has never really left us. Painting, that elderly aunt—that beautiful oil on canvas, with its universe of naked women, landscapes and still lifes—is an [...]

An art exhibition is first and foremost a mental vision, a concept that links the works together and through them, attempts to give a meaningful structure to the world. It is therefore the visual content of an insight that the artist conveys through the medium of painting, among other means, and [...]

GIOLI, Ligio gilio GIOLI è un fotografo senza macchina. GIOLI fotografa teste e corpi usando la testa. GIOLI fa foto polverose come le bottiglie di Morandi. GIOLI scava sempre nello stesso punto: corpo e testa. GIOLI non rifiuta la tecnica fotografica, ne approfitta. GIOLI vive sotto l’ [...]

Esterno giorno. Sole. Stai percorrendo in auto una strada che costeggia un lago lombardo. Ad un tratto imbocchi un tunnel, un vecchio e lungo tunnel, poco illuminato e con muri segnati dal tempo. Hai appena percorso qualche centinaia di metri ed ecco, d’improvviso, vedi qualcosa in mezzo alla [...]

Eighteen years after his first exhibition at our gallery and five years after his death, we pay tribute to Ian Hamilton Finlay. An artist, poet and visionary philosopher, he started with concrete poetry and developed his own method, full of quotations, and gave concrete form to phrases and literary [...]

Letizia Cariello’s first solo show at the gallery is presented in three stages that open with Travel Stick, with which the artist appears symbolically to accompany visitors through her work, drawing inspiration from the portable installations that pilgrims used to take with them along the Via [...]

A rather unexpected book entitled Walker Evans & Dan Graham was published a few years back. A bridge over the decades of American art, with two quite different artists who have something in common. I talked about it to Dan, a long-time friend of mine, who described the book as an editorial [...]

CONTEMPORANEA è il nome dello spazio d’arte, in corsetto sant’Agata 22, nel piano interrato della loggia delle mercanzie, a Brescia. CONTEMPORANEA potrebbe essere un femminile oppure un plurale latino. CONTEMPORANEA è comunque l’arte che qui viene regolarmente esposta, in uno spazio privato [...]

Narration is often at the centre of Nedko Solakov’s works and we find it featuring in the new works created for his second solo exhibition at the gallery. A blend of irony, surrealism and romanticism, Solakov’s little stories entwine with the gilt trickles of ancient frames, vivaciously follow [...]

La Galleria Massimo Minini in collaborazione con il Fondo di Luigi Ghirri presenta la mostra LUIGI GHIRRI – Project Prints, a cura di Elena Re. Attraverso un’ampia e approfondita selezione di project prints fatta presso il Fondo di Luigi Ghirri, la mostra offre uno sguardo sulle principali [...]

Questa mostra nasce da un progetto, United Artists of Italy, realizzato un paio di anni fa. L’importanza della fotografia nel mondo delle arti, la caduta delle differenze tra fotografia e arte, l’assunzione e direi lo sdoganamento della fotografia – comunque avvenuto da anni [...]

Con la prima mostra in galleria di Paul Thorel proseguiamo la collaborazione tra arte e scrittura con alcuni tra i più interessanti scrittori contemporanei. Dopo Tiziano Scarpa per Anish Kapoor, per questa occasione abbiamo chiesto ad Aldo Nove di scrivere un testo per il catalogo che raccoglierà [...]

Anish Kapoor’s fourth show at Galleria Massimo Minini—previous ones having been held in 1996, 1998, and 2004—marks the inauguration of our new exhibition space. To highlight the importance of this occasion, rather than drafting the usual press release in-house, we decided to ask a well-known [...]

Stefano Arienti è nostro ospite in galleria per la quinta volta, un record di presenze che lo proietta nell’empireo dei nostri artisti più amati. Incentrata su una riflessione del tutto personale sui concetti di decorazione e pittura, quest’ultima mostra ci svela solo rappresentazioni di [...]

Sabrina Mezzaqui, in occasione della sua quarta personale presso la Galleria Minini, attinge a diverse tradizioni filosofiche, religiose, letterarie per impostare una mostra-biblioteca. Tutti i lavori presentati nascono infatti da libri che l’artista ha letto e reinterpretato. Le modalità di [...]

Together with Brussels’ Galérie Jan Mot, I will be presenting at Art Unlimited at the forthcoming edition of Art Basel 41, from 14 to 20 June, the work by Ian Wilson, a conceptual artist known for his discussions. Ian Wilson will hold two discussions a day, at 12 noon and at 5pm, for small [...]

I met Sol in 1972 when I was working for Flash Art. I saw him appear in the doorway on the fourth floor of the building in Viale Piave in Milan where the editorial office was at that time. We had published a rather brutal advertisement for a German gallery against his work and he [...]

Galleria Massimo Minini is delighted to present their first Roger Ballen exhibition in Italy. The exhibition will feature twenty photographs taken from the Phaidon Press books entitled Shadow Chamber, 2004 and ten from his latest book Boarding House, 2009. Ballen’s pictures are journeys, day [...]

Se la mostra citata è un corpus di ritratti fatti dai grandi fotografi italiani, [...]

The Massimo Minini Gallery is delighted to announce the third exhibition by Mathieu Mercier (France, 1970).

Attilio Maranzano and  Serse’s visit to the Brion tomb, a monumental complex a few miles from Asolo, in the province of Treviso, built by Carlo Scarpa between 1969 and 1978, was the starting point for the project now presented at the Massimo Minini Gallery. The tomb’s complex architectural [...]

Massimo Minini is delighted to announce a collaboration between artist Peter Halley and architect Alessandro Mendini at Galleria Massimo Minini.

Il mio amico Alberto Garutti presenta una mostra che si articola attorno a cinque opere create appositamente per il mio spazio e per la città di Brescia. L’intera mostra ruota attorno ai luoghi di Brescia che mi sono più cari, al particolare contesto della città, all’immaginario dei [...]

Entitled ‘A Group Show’, to mark his first one-man exhibition at our gallery, Nedko Solakov (1957, Cherven Briag, Bulgaria ) makes reference to the fact that at the beginning of his career, in the early 90’s, his work was not so easily identifiable. It was almost as if his works came from the [...]

The Massimo Minini Gallery, in cooperation with the Fondo Eredi Luigi Ghirri, is happy to announce the exhibition Luigi Ghirri – Towards an idea of landscape, curated by Elena Re. Based on a selection of vintage prints carried out at the Fondo Eredi Luigi Ghirri and of some modern prints curated [...]

For his first one-man exhibition at the Massimo Minini Gallery, Hans-Peter Feldmann (Dusseldorf, 1941) presents a group of works through different media, first of all photography and sculpture. Hans-Peter Feldmann started his research at the end of the seventies, when he focused his attention on [...]

The Massimo Minini Gallery is happy to announce Maurizio Donzelli’s solo exhibition. Drawing is the starting point. Drawing is study, thought, creation. Drawing for Maurizio Donzelli is a spontaneous push that makes it possible to turn notions and ideas into concrete and visible works. The act of [...]

In occasione della Biennale Internazionale di Fotografia di Brescia la Galleria Massimo Minini presenta una mostra dedicata a Francesca Woodman. Le fotografie in mostra sono tutte rigorosamente in bianco e nero, scattate tra il 1972 e il 1981, anno in cui la fotografa, appena ventitreenne, si [...]

Per entrare nel lavoro di Sabrina Mezzaqui ci vogliono tempo, pazienza, curiosità e una particolare sensibilità. Nonostante le opere possiedano in sé una raffinatezza e una poesia che emergono semplicemente, solo uno sguardo attento può apprezzare il lavoro meticoloso che Mezzaqui ogni volta [...]

La Galleria Massimo Minini è lieta di presentare la quarta mostra personale di Carla Accardi. “Adesso ci ritroviamo qui, davanti a queste sette tele, datate 2005.

La Galleria Massimo Minini è lieta di presentare un progetto che unisce per la prima volta in una mostra i lavori di Mario Airò, Stefano Arienti ed Eva Marisaldi. I tre artisti, che hanno già esposto in galleria negli ultimi anni, appartengono alla stessa generazione ed i loro percorsi, pur [...]

Fear in a Time of Superheroes ovvero come il frutto partorito dai mass media ondeggia tra nulla e qualcosa della vita. “Consapevolezza, conoscenza, surplus d’informazione in tempo reale, così ché anche i morti mostrati non sono più morti, ma solo fantocci. Fantocci domestici, abiti della [...]

Fuzzy is intended to provoke thought about the problems connected with living space, design, architecture, and town planning, through the work of five new-generation artists from Italy and abroad. Fuzzy – which can be interpreted as “indistinct”, “confused”, “vague” – is a term [...]

Dara Friedman, a young Miami-based artist, has her first Italian solo exhibition in our gallery. Her videos experiment with reality via the senses – tension, excitement, temptation, obsession, and provocation are shown through a powerful combination of images and sounds. Using neither dialogue [...]

Nel 1995 DIDIER VERMEIREN (nato a Bruxelles nel 1951) rappresentava il Belgio nel padiglione della Biennale di Venezia. Da noi aveva già esposto, giovanissimo, nel 1976. Altre due mostre sue erano state allestite nella nostra galleria nel 1981 e nel 1988. Possiamo dire di averlo accompagnato dai [...]

Lo Scrittore ha un amico Pittore con una speciale passione per il Disegno. Il disegno del Pittore esce da ogni dove nella casa-studio: appeso al muro in vecchie e nuove cornici, appoggiato su tavoli, su pile di dischi, su provvisori mucchi di libri in attesa di essere letti e catalogati, a volte [...]

PETER HALLEY (1953) inaugura il 15 settembre (fino al 10 novembre) la sua seconda personale nella nostra galleria.

In due ambienti interagenti Sabrina Torelli ha disposto i suoi “Apparati di Cattura”, ovvero un accumulo di strati visivi che rimandano a quell’energia sottile e magmatica che colpisce l’interesse, la memoria e l’intuizione. Oggi siamo catturati da reti di informazioni che richiedono [...]

Perché la vita non è come un film? , si domanda Sabrina Mezzaqui in una lettera inviata da Pantelleria. Voleva stare lontano da Bologna, dalle sue abitudini quotidiane, e fare di questa esperienza la materia prima di una mostra. Così dal 10 ottobre 98 al 10 gennaio 99 si è “isolata” a [...]

ALCUNI PENSIERI DI VANESSA BEECROFT TRATTI DA INTERVISTE. “La presenza delle ragazze in persona è una forma esplicita di un rapporto intenso col quotidiano.” “Uso le persone nello spazio di un’opera per dare un’immagine della qualità bidimensionale. Il fatto che ricordino una pittura e [...]

BERNAR VENET espone alla Galleria Minini, Brescia, da Domenica 20 settembre ed inaugura da noi una stagione un po’ speciale, vagamente celebrativa, quella del venticinquesimo anniversario della Galleria. In quest’ottica di celebrazione, cosa meglio del monumento? e VENET ci propone [...]
