Awarded by the Selection Committee of the Prize \u2013 composed of Sebastiano Barassi<\/strong>, Anna Maria Montaldo<\/strong>, Pavel Py\u015b<\/strong>, Christian Rattemeyer<\/strong>, Lorenzo Respi<\/strong>, and Andrea Viliani<\/strong> \u2013 the sculptor, thanks to the collaboration of the Area<\/strong> Museums of Modern and Contemporary Art of the <\/strong>City of Milan<\/strong>, which shares the goals of the Award<\/em>, presents a new installation<\/strong> specifically conceived for the space of the Ignazio Gardella staircase<\/strong>, a monumental trait d\u2019union<\/em> between the first and second floors of the Galleria d\u2019Arte Moderna, in dialogue<\/strong> with the extra-European artifacts<\/strong> that guide the visitor from the nineteenth-century collections to the twentieth-century ones.<\/p>\n

The choice of location within the museum's visiting path is not random: in her work, the artist often studies and draws inspiration from marginal or forgotten realities<\/strong>, reflecting on objects and materials rich in histories and socio-cultural<\/strong> connotations<\/strong>, which the observer finds poetically transfigured<\/strong> in her sculptures.<\/p>\n

Personal Protective Demon (PPD)<\/em><\/strong> is a monolith in fake marble<\/strong> \u2013 a tribute to the decorative techniques that characterize the interiors of the GAM \u2013 placed, like a sort of totem or idol, guarding a connective and liminal space<\/strong> of the Galleria d\u2019Arte Moderna. The sculpture, towering above the elliptical staircase, is wrapped in indigo-colored silk fabric<\/strong> which, thanks to the action of hidden fans<\/strong>, intermittently rises, revealing its hybrid and monstrous features, between the human and the animal.<\/p>\n

The exhibition event strengthens the collaboration between the Foundation and the City of Milan, Area Museums of Modern and Contemporary Art<\/strong>, initiated in 2019 on the occasion of the 5th edition of the Award<\/em>, and benefits from the media partnership of IGP Decaux.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the exhibition, a catalogue<\/strong> is published by the Foundation, featuring a conversation between Candice Lin and Pavel Py\u015b.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t
