Glitch Group exhibition featuring Ilya & Emilia Kabakov at BUILDING Gallery in Milan, Italy

This exhibition project was curated by Chiara Bertola and Davide Ferri. It  features a selection of about thirty paintings by ten Italian and international artists from different generations, including Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, Simon Callery, Angela de la Cruz, Peggy Franck, Pinot Gallizio, Mary Heilmann, Andrea Kvas, Maria Morganti, Farid Rahimi, and Alejandra Seeber.

The exhibition includes works by artists Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, in which the artist couple reflects on the concept of authorship by inventing an imaginary artist who dialogues with art history. In the exhibition, the work Charles Rosenthal, Im park 1930 becomes an engaging commentary on objectivity and subjectivity in the artistic expression of light, inviting the viewer to question the distinction between painted light, real light and, crucially in the Kabakovs’ work, the artist’s imagination.
