The exhibition Amelia, currently on view at our Piacenza venue, travels to UNA | Milano for a ten-day pop-up show. Bringing together the work of Beatrice Alici, Lula Broglio, Anaïs Horn, and Amalia Vekri, the exhibition explores different approaches to the representation of the female body. With a text by Chiara Nuzzi.
On view until October 1st.
Amelia is an exhibition bringing together the work of Beatrice Alici, Lula Broglio, Anaïs Horn, and Amalia Vekri. Their practices explore the representation of the female body in its many forms: a body suspended between the desire for self-representation and self-reflection, and the intrusion of an external gaze that defines its parameters and characteristics.

Una Piacenza
From the text by Chiara Nuzzi:
The estranging spaces Anaïs Horn reveals through her images — vintage auction catalogue photographs depicting isolated interior objects and furniture, altered by the artist through experimental material interventions — conceal both her obsession with painting and her need to reclaim a domestic sphere shaped by social conventions. Transformed through gouache and varnish, the images welcome spectral female figures – presences moving through temporal strata saturated with meaning. Horn plays as much with omission as with
inclusion; nothing escapes her gaze.

Conceived as a site-specific installation in the Frederic Morton Library, High Expectations unfolds as a layered, immersive environment of textile, sound, image, and text.
At its core is the 1931 fabric design Kokain (Cocaine) by Erika von Trauschenfels (Backhausen, Vienna), translated into a large padded floor piece that reconfigures the space as an intimate, physical environment. The installation brings together a polyphonic sound work (in collaboration with Eilert Asmervik), interweaving texts by Austrian women writers of the interwar period — Vicki Baum, Alice Schalek, Joe Lederer, among others — with contemporary responses by Avital Ronell and Wendy Vogel, as well as German-speaking writers Alexandra Bondi de Antoni, Anna Gien, Katharina Manojlovic, and Verena Walzl, alongside two new series of mixed-media works.
The exhibition reflects on the cultural and political transformations of the interwar period while opening a space where female voices resonate and insist, in dialogue with the present.
