Josh Kline’s Climate Change showcases a total artwork: a suite of sci-fi installations that envisions a future shaped by a devastating climate crisis and the ordinary people who will inhabit it. Sculptures, moving images, photographs and ephemeral materials transform the galleries of the museum. Kline creates a visceral vision of the 21st century, seemingly far, actually very close. A catastrophic rise in sea levels has flooded the world’s coasts, causing hundreds of millions of traumatized refugees.

“Making as if Wondering: So What Is This?” is the title of the exhibition dedicated to Eva Lootz. When Lootz arrived in Madrid in the 1960s, she investigated the combination of language-material, taking an interest in the need for a new dialogue between humans and animals. Later, her analysis will focus on a wide variety of themes: contemporary visuality, overexposure to images and the impact of digital culture on current gnoseology; issues always deepened through a feminist, anticolonialist and careful perspective to the most marginalized social classes.

The Centre Pompidou hosts the exhibition: “Corto Maltese, a romanesque life”. Created in 1967 by Hugo Pratt (1927-1995), Corto Maltese is one of the most famous and recognizable characters in comics. Explorer, anarchist sailor, gentleman, travels the world in turmoil at the beginning of the twentieth century. There are many literary sources that accompany his adventures: Hermann Melville, Jack London, Joseph Conrad, among others.

Palazzo Reale hosts the exhibition of Valerio Adami: “Pittore di idee” (“Painter of ideas”). The artist, born in Bologna in 1935, trained with Achille Funi at the Brera Academy before moving to Paris where he attended Sebastian Matta and Wifredo Lam. The first solo exhibition was opened in Milan in 1959, and then embarked on an international transversal career, from east to west of the globe.

That solidarity has to do with “the filthy lucre” is not so obvious, yet the term comes from solidum, money that was paid to professional fighters, the “soldiers”. Paying in solidum still characterizes, in the legal sphere, a bond of interdependence between debtors.

The word, during the French Revolution, expands the boundaries of its meaning to reach the ethical horizon of solidarity, which indicates closeness and sharing.

Drawings, poems, letters and architectural projects of his second stay in Rome on view

The British Museum in London recounts Michelangelo through a series of precious drawings, poems, letters, and architectural projects relating to his second stay in Rome, from 1534 until his death thirty years later. The great genius left a seemingly democratic republican Florence in doubt, but in the midst of those political controversies that later brought to power Cosimo I de’ Medici (1537).

From the exhibition emerge a complete portrait of the architect and an overview of the culture of the second ‘900

An intellectual portrait, "a bit cubist," says Giovanni Agosti – curator of the event dedicated to Gae Aulenti (1927-2012) at the Milan Triennale – more than a real retrospective focused exclusively on architecture.

The exhibition traces the 20 years of the eclectic artist’s career

The Macro just hosted, until August 25th, the first anthology dedicated to Elisabetta Benassi, a Roman artist born in 1966. “Self-portrait at work” traces over twenty years of career, with a rich selection of historical works of the early 2000s alongside recent works and three new productions made specifically for this exhibition.

On display a collection of 60 garments and accessories ranging from the 18th century to the 2000s

We find the creations of Mario Fortuny for Eleonora Duse and those of Emilio Schubert for the divas of the 50s

Over 300 shots of 140 protagonists of contemporary photography on view

A shot can reveal the fragility of an ephemeral beauty, investigating the balance between strength and vulnerability. This connection, inherent in the human condition, becomes the dominant theme of “Fragile Beauty: Photographs from the Sir Elton John and David Furnish Collection”, the largest temporary photography exhibition held at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
