Cerchi di Pace Site Specific Installation

All day

Fabbrica del Vapore

The 1956 Olympic Totem by Franco Albini, Franca Helg, and Albe Steiner becomes a manifesto for peace. Franco Albini Foundation and Studio Albini Associati are reviving a symbol in Milan. And they're doing so at a time when the world seems to need it most. A project that draws on Design and Art to generate an expansive wave of support for rhythm. From March 12 to April 30, 2026, at the Fabbrica del Vapore, "Cerchi di Pace" (Peace Circles) will take shape. A five-meter-high installation that recreates the full-scale Olympic Totem designed in 1956 by Franco Albini, Franca Helg, and Albe Steiner for the 1956 Cortina Winter Olympics. For seventy years, it was a photograph of a model kept in the Albini Foundation archive. Today, it becomes a monument and a symbolic space to be traversed.

Marco Fusinato, The Only True Anarchy is That of Power

6:00 PM

PAC Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea · Porta Venezia

Marco Fusinato returns to Italy after representing Australia at the 59th Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte della Biennale in Venice with his first European monographic exhibition, which brings together some of his most significant works from recent years. The exhibition features a collection of works in which visual art and noise music merge, giving rise to installations with a strong visual impact and sensory engagement. For the occasion, Desastres, the impressive performance piece presented at the Venice Biennale in 2022, will be reprised: an immersive experience in which images and sounds merge to create a total audiovisual landscape. An unmissable event to discover one of the most original and innovative voices in contemporary art and performance, offering the public an unforgettable experience. As an artist, he conceives his work as a succession of interrelated projects, some of which continue across numerous iterations. Within these projects the works are almost always serial and use specific frameworks for experimentation. As a musician, he explores the idea of noise as music, using the electric guitar and mass amplification to improvise intricate, wide-ranging, and physically affecting frequencies.

NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti

BacteriArt, from invisible to visible is a project by NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, now in its 4th edition. The initiative offers students an educational pathway focused on the conception and realization of an exhibition within the Milan campus, exploring the world of bacteria through a longstanding collaboration with Yakult. This year’s concept, centered on the Gut–Brain Axis, has guided the development of immersive and site-specific installations, emerging from an ongoing dialogue with internationally renowned artists and curators. The program has unfolded through seminars and studio visits with Remo Salvadori, Clara Hastrup, Jenna Sutela, and Fiammetta Griccioli, offering students direct engagement with contemporary artistic practices and theoretical perspectives.

Opening: I wish to die in autumn moonlight even in darkness not to be lost

6:00 PM

Galleria Lia Rumma

Running parallel to The Women Alchemists, which Kiefer conceived for the Sala delle Cariatidi at Palazzo Reale (open through September 2026), the exhibition at Lia Rumma further expands his continued research of the “alchemists,” delving deeper into the role of other female heroines who, over the centuries, made fundamental contributions to modern science through alchemy. Joining this female pantheon, painted by Kiefer, are mythological figures such as the muses Calliope and Melpomene, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. The exhibition title evokes a poem by 19 th century Japanese poet, Buddhist nun, and ceramist Ōtagaki Rengetsu—to whom Kiefer also dedicates a painting which is presented at the overture of the exhibition.
