Corpus Domini: Palazzo Reale, Milan, Italy
From 27 October 2021 to 30 January 2022, Palazzo Reale in Milan will host the exhibition Corpus Domini. From the glorified body to the ruins of the soul, curated by Francesca Alfano Miglietti.
111 works - installations, sculptures, drawings, paintings, video installations, and photographs - by 34 internationally recognized artists, some of them true icons of contemporary art, are on display for the first time in Italy to collectively capture the multiplicity of the ways in which the human being is represented.
The title refers to the disappearance of the 'real body' in favor of the 'body of the spectacle': from the Glorified Body - the body of awareness, of rebellion, of otherness - to the Contemporary Body – intended on the one hand as the body of our spectacle-based society, and on the other in its most poetic forms of exodus, of work, of the silent multitude.
