From October 18 to December 31, 2019, Marina Abramovic arrives in the Sala Sottofedericiana of the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, with the video cycle “The Kitchen. Homage to Saint Therese”.
It is a new appointment following the format, proposed by Vanitasclub, that sees this ancient area of Milan hosting great contemporary artists, starting from Bill Viola in 2017 and then Michelangelo Antonioni and Andy Warhol.
“The Kitchen. Homage to Saint Therese” is a very significant work in which Marina Abramovic relates to one of the most important figures of Catholicism, Santa Teresa d’Avila. The work consists of three videos, which document as many performances held in 2009 by the artist in the former convent of La Laboral in Gijón, Spain.
The exhibition is curated by Casa Testori and produced by Vanitasclub, in collaboration with the Veneranda Biblioteca and Pinacoteca Ambrosiana.
An exhibition that aims at reconstructing the "considerable collection of books” belonging to Don Ferrante, which Alessandro Manzoni describes in the Promessi Sposi (The Bethroted).
The combo ticket Duomo + Ambrosiana is available in a new version which includes also the Ascent on foot to the Duomo terraces and access to the San Sepolcro Crypt.
Every Saturday at 15.30 a guided tour of the masterpieces of the Pinacoteca, together with professional guides of our official partner AdArtem
Until June 13, 2023 the Crypt of San Sepolcro hosts the exhibition “Oliviero Rainaldi. 2023 AD”, an exhibition that traces the life of Christ in five episodes, birth, infancy, martyrdom, death and resurrection.
