In this video, Lorenzo Balbi, Director of MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, and Thomas Brambilla, owner of the eponymous gallery, discuss the exhibition John Giorno: The Performative Word, offering insights into the artist’s groundbreaking practice and his lasting impact on contemporary art and poetry.

John Giorno (New York, 1936 – 2019) was a magnetic poet and performer who knew how to transform words into art.
From February 5 to May 3, 2026, MAMbo - Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, a division of the Settore Musei Civici of Comune di Bologna - is presenting John Giorno: The Performative Word, curated by Lorenzo Balbi. Held in the Sala delle Ciminiere, this is the first major Italian retrospective celebrating one of the most radical and visionary figures in contemporary culture.
John Giorno was a key figure in the avant-garde New York scene. A poet, artist, and activist, he tore down the boundaries between disciplines, turning poetry into a living body capable of inhabiting unexpected places. His friendships and collaborations with major figures of that era, including Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, William Burroughs, John Cage, and Patti Smith, as well as his establishment of Giorno Poetry Systems in 1965 - a non-profit organization that revolutionized the dissemination of poetry by blending it with music, visual arts, political engagement, and community practices - are all a testament to Giorno’s essential impact on art history.[…] from the press release of the exhibition.

Join us on Saturday, June 20th, at the Cavalese Contemporary Art Museum for the opening of Erik Saglia's exhibition. We look forward to seeing you there!

Sabato 20 giugno vi aspettiamo al Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Cavalese per l'inaugurazione della mostra di Erik Saglia. Non mancate!

Dal 20 giugno al 18 ottobre il Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Cavalese presenta Fly-by, mostra personale di Erik Saglia, a cura di Elsa Barbieri.

Il titolo della mostra trae ispirazione dal linguaggio dell’astronautica e si riferisce al sorvolo ravvicinato che satelliti e sonde compiono ad alta velocità in prossimità di un pianeta o di un corpo celeste. Con questa chiave, il progetto espositivo si sviluppa come un attraversamento dell’ambiente museale, inteso come nuovo campo di osservazione e intervento, dove “la verità del quadro” si genera dinamicamente nello scarto temporale e prospettico del continuo passaggio dei visitatori.

La mostra è realizzata dal Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Cavalese ed è promossa dal Comune di Cavalese con il sostegno di Val di Fiemme e Cassa Rurale Val Di Fiemme. Si ringrazia Thomas Brambilla Gallery per la collaborazione.

Bryan Hunt’s sculptures explore the relationship between nature, architecture, and movement. Throughout his career, the artist has transformed organic forms — inspired by waves, waterfalls, vessels, and the human body — into sculptural structures that balance precision with fluidity.
From his celebrated Waterfall series to the iconic Airships, Hunt combines engineering, geometry, and abstraction to create works that feel both monumental and weightless. His sculptures often appear suspended in space, inviting viewers to reflect on gravity, balance, and the connection between natural forces and human-made forms.
Using materials ranging from bronze and aluminum to silk and wood, Hunt blurs the boundaries between sculpture, architecture, and design. Each work becomes an exploration of space itself — not just an object to observe, but an environment to experience.

“Spaced Out” presents a new series of works by Erik Saglia, made with painted aluminum and LEDs, marking an important evolution in the artist’s practice while remaining deeply connected to his previous paintings. Starting from the formal rigor of the modernist grid explored in the “Manifesti Satellite” series, Saglia transforms geometry into something alive: light becomes a true material, turning the grid into a vibrant and dynamic organism.
Inspired by philosopher Yuk Hui’s ideas of “cosmotechnics” and “technodiversity,” the exhibition reimagines technology not as a rigid industrial tool, but as a poetic force capable of generating infinite possibilities. In this context, LEDs are no longer simple technical elements, but become luminous graphic signs that radiate color, energy, and movement.
The works also recall the legacy of artists such as Dan Flavin, François Morellet, and especially Keith Sonnier, combining chromatic light, mathematical precision, and formal lightness into immersive visual experiences where structure and luminosity exist in perfect balance.

Today we remember on what would have been his birthday — an artist who redefined what painting could be.
He became especially known for his iconic “cotton ball paintings,” made with thousands of cotton balls dipped in pigment and attached to canvas. These textured works blurred the line between painting and sculpture, turning simple materials into powerful and experimental images.
Joe Zucker never stopped pushing the boundaries of art. His work still feels fresh, radical, and deeply original today.
Happy birthday to a truly unique artist ❤️

Lynda Benglis (b. 1941) is renowned for challenging conventions and reinventing materials. This approach is already evident in her celebrated Pours, first made in the late 1960s, when she mixed latex and Day-Glo pigments and poured them directly onto the floor to dramatic effect. Over the following decades, Benglis has continued to push the boundaries of form and material across installation, photography, sculpture, and video, working with substances as varied as bronze, ceramic, glitter, paper, and polyurethane foam, to create an oeuvre as surprising as it is radical.
Kunstmuseum Basel will present more than 50 works spanning the late 1960s to the present, showcasing the inventive aesthetic that has cemented the American artist’s role as one of the most influential artists of our time.
The exhibition is organized by the Kunstmuseum Basel, in collaboration with Tate Modern and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.

is included in the exhibition “Materials Speak” at the Bridgehampton Museum.
The exhibition brings together 27 artists connected to the East End of Long Island, each exploring how materials shape meaning in art. From painting and sculpture to fabric, wood, and unconventional media, the exhibition highlights diverse creative approaches inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s idea that “the medium is the message.” Featuring both renowned and emerging voices, the show invites viewers to experience the power of materials in expressing imagination, identity, and artistic vision. Curated by Barbara MacAdam and Mary Dinaburg.

In his exhibition CREATION, Thomas Helbig presents paintings, objects and collages from the last three years. The artist, who hails from Rosenheim and has lived in Berlin for many years following periods in Munich and London, exhibiting internationally, is known for his paintings and objects that oscillate between figuration and abstraction. The works combine elements from art history, folk art and popular culture, pointing towards metaphysical dimensions and obscure realms.
