High Level Event on Culture and Sustainable Development 2021. #Voices4Culture are invited to strengthen the bridge between the art sector and the policy sector, to work together for a common goal.
Starting on Wednesday 28 April, 2021, Lia Rumma Gallery is pleased to present "The Communicator" (2012), and "Ecstasy II"(2012), an installation of eight sculptures and a photographic work by Marina Abramović, at Via della Spiga 31, Milan. The Serbian artist's works symbolise the transformation and revitalisation of empty spaces and places. In the wake of the Viavài project, and in parallel with the ATO Art Takes Over initiative, the owners of the empty storefronts of one of the main streets of the Fashion District host contemporary art exhibitions, visible every day and at any time, underlining Via della Spiga's eventful history and its link with the arts. Abramović's works will thus dialogue with the installations by Monica Bonvicini and Ariel Schlesinger, presented by ATO Art Takes Over @art.takesover at number 48, and with Nathalie Du Pasquier's installation at Via della Spiga 52, presented by VIA Visiting Installation Art @via.exhibit
On the occasion of ArtBasel OVR: Pioneers, LiaRumma Gallery is pleased to present a selection of works by artists who over the years have proven to be absolute trailblazers in their respective fields. Marina Abramovic, Vanessa Beecroft, William Kentridge, Joseph Kosuth, Ugo Mulas, Haim Steinbach, Gilberto Zorio are just a few of the Pioneers that Lia Rumma Gallery is thrilled to propose for this new iteration of Art Basel OVR. These artists - each in a different field - have contributed decisively to Contemporary Art undertaking new and unprecedented paths - interfacing with the immense possibilities of their specific mediums. Photography, Performance, Conceptual Art, Arte Povera thus recognize in these artists the fathers and mothers who have explored and opened new paths within these languages.

My Heart is a Void, the Void is a Mirror is an articulated project that completely absorbs the current artistic research of Gian Maria Tosatti. The focus of this investigation is the crisis of democracy and the subsequent fading of Western Civilization, born in Athens at the time of Pericles. In 2018, the artist started a pilgrimage across the world which brought him to many cities and countries in order to portray the complexity of the present era in each of them. Each work that he created as part of this process forms a sort of episode in a visual novel where visions, prophecies and reality are indistinguishable.

For Frieze Viewing Room, Lia Rumma Gallery is pleased to present a selection of works focused on the theme “Back to Simplicity”. Inspired by the homonymous series conceived by Marina Abramović in 2010, Lia Rumma Gallery intends to outline - through the works presented - the widespread wish for a return to simplicity intended both in artistic and existential terms. In the light of an increasingly complex and contradictory contemporaneity, there is in fact a common and general desire to return to the simplicity of the origins, only apparently lost and distant. The works featured in the Viewing Room are presented as the voices of this common feeling.
