Xin Liu – EXHAUST

April 15 – October 11
The first solo exhibition in Italy by Xin Liu explores the consequences of technological and scientific aspirations by focusing on their residues: space debris, degraded materials, altered codes and organisms. Through film, installations, and new works, the artist reflects on what remains after the failure of promises of progress, transforming waste and obsolescence into generative possibilities.

Diego Marcon – Krapfen

April 15 – August 2
Krapfen by Diego Marcon is the first work produced through the New Futures Production Fund, a collaboration between the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and the New Museum in New York. The video features an ambiguously gendered child and four garments: a pair of gloves, a scarf, trousers, and a sweater. The childlike setting is paired with an alarmed and unsettling atmosphere, in which a krapfen becomes the device through which emotions of terror and annihilation are brought into play.

Lenz Geerk – Theatre of the Mind

April 15 – October 11
The first solo exhibition in an Italian institution dedicated to the painting of Lenz Geerk, presenting figures, objects, and landscapes immersed in silent and introspective atmospheres. Through delicate colors and suspended compositions, the paintings explore psychological states and intimate moments, where meaning emerges from subtle emotional tensions rather than explicit narratives.

June Crespo – Danzante

Curated by Bernardo Follini
April 15 – October 11
The first institutional exhibition in Italy by June Crespo brings together sculptures and installations that engage with the body and the viewer’s perception. Inspired by the forms of flowers such as the iris and bird of paradise, the works investigate materials, surfaces, and textures to create physical and sensory experiences that evoke vitality, fragmentation, and presence.
