Nico Vascellari: Pastorale

In this new solo show curated by Sergio Risaliti, artist Nico Vascellari presents recent and new works in various spaces of Palazzo Reale in Milan, including the majestic Sala delle Cariatidi. Through an anthropological gaze, Vascellari explores the connection between man and nature, intertwining personal and collective dimensions through works spanning performance, installation, sculpture, video, and sound. The project draws inspiration from the history of the Sala, particularly the events of the 20th century that led to its near-total destruction during the 1943 bombing of Milan, and the subsequent monumental 1953 exhibition of Guernica by Pablo Picasso. “Pastorale” also expands to other locations throughout the city and features performance, sculpture, installation, and sound works.
