———————————
The exhibition takes place at Münstergasse 6, in the current art space Milieu, which follows the activities of the Francesca Pia and Lydia Megert galleries; it is thus part of a rich cultural context, active since 1971, and offers a situated reflection nourished by the history and the multiple uses of the site.
Deepening the theme of museum displays within the world of exhibitions, the project presented at Milieu proposes a play with these elements accompanying artworks — space, plinths, light, architecture, labels, texts — by considering them no longer as mere secondary components but as active forms that participate in the construction of meaning. Usually conceived to remain invisible and to foreground the exhibits, these displays are here brought to the forefront and presented as artistic gestures. Understood as a “way of showing,” they become site-objects of experience guiding viewers, while revealing the ideologies, norms, and modes of consumption they entail. The exhibition thus proposes an in-situ experience that plays with institutional codes, questions their supposed neutrality, and puts into tension their role in the mediation, understanding, and assimilation of the works.
