From March 27 to July 27, 2025, Pirelli HangarBicocca presents “ICARUS”, the first major anthological exhibition in Europe dedicated to the art of Yukinori Yanagi (Fukuoka, 1959), with a wide selection of key works from the 1990s and 2000s, as well as more recent works. Visitors experience the unpredictable trajectories created by the Japanese artist. Yanagi recontextualizes some of his most significant and monumental installations in the former industrial spaces of Pirelli HangarBicocca, offering insights that are more relevant than ever on issues of nationalism, governance mechanisms, and the paradoxical aspects of contemporary societies.
