Milano, for the fifth edition of the Furla Series program “Something in the World” by Suzanne Jackson begins.

The GAM, Gallery of Modern Art MilanoIn partnership with Furla Foundation, presents, for the fifth edition of the Furla Series program, “Somethings in the World”, solo exhibition by the American artist Suzanne Jackson edited by Bruna Roccasalva and can be visited in GAM until December 17th.

Furla Series is the project which, starting from 2017, sees the Furla Foundation engaged in the creation of exhibitions in collaboration with important Italian art institutions, with an all-female program designed to give value and visibility to the fundamental contribution of women in contemporary culture . In this context, the collaboration between the Furla Foundation and GAM began in 2021 to promote annual exhibition projects that offer a unique opportunity for meetings between the masters of the past and the protagonists of the contemporary.

“Somethings in the World”, the first exhibition dedicated to the artist by a European institution, offers a look at the research that Suzanne Jackson has been carrying out for more than fifty years and reconstructs its fundamental nuclei.

The set of 27 works on display - from the dream paintings of the Seventies to the radical experiments of the most recent "anti-canvas" - conveys the complexity and evolution of a research that accompanies the visitor within the artist's universe , evoking at the same time a comparison and a dialogue with the context of the GAM and the works of the permanent collection: from the clear neoclassicism of Canova, to the pointillist paintings of Segantini, Previati and Pellizza da Volpedo, up to the extraordinary experiments with light and matter of the sculptures by Medardo Rosso.

All the artist's production is punctuated by phases that are closely related to his biographical events, and which flow into each other, continuously mixing and confusing over the years: a constant intertwining of the private and personal dimension with the artistic and professional one that the exhibition narrates through an exhibition itinerary built not chronologically but through associations and correspondences, to underline links and continuous references between themes, techniques and languages.
