Nico Vascellari PASTORALE

In a great new solo show titled Pastorale, artist Nico Vascellari will be presenting recent and new works in various spaces of Palazzo Reale in Milan, including the majestic Sala delle Cariatidi, in the spring of 2025. Through an anthropological gaze, Vascellari (b. 1976, Vittorio Veneto) 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 is also set to expand to other locations throughout the city and will feature performance, sculpture, installation, and sound works.
