Galleria Raffaella Cortese presents nehtyM, the gallery’s fifth solo show by Miroslaw Balka (Warsaw, 1958). The artist, whose significant retrospective CROSSOVER/S, curated by Vicente Todolí, was shown at Pirelli HangarBicocca in 2017, returns to Milan with an exhibition project featuring new works in the via Stradella 7 gallery space.
Introduced by the word-play of the title nehtyM, mirrored version of the German word “Mythen” (in English, Myth), which underlines the artist’s voyage into the mythical concept, the exhibition will showcase new bodies of work, drawings and sculptures, across the three macro-areas of Desire, Gravity and Togetherness. The journey continues Balka’s research within the delicate relationship between art and life, ever present in Balka’s work since the 80s, interweaving personal experiences with images from collective memory.
