An exhibition that opens doors and windows

Looking out is a simple, everyday gesture, but it is also a way of looking at the world. We look out of a window to observe a street, step onto a balcony to feel the morning air, or stand at a doorway before entering an unfamiliar space. We look out towards a landscape, towards nature, towards the work of another artist. And, sometimes, we look inward, towards ourselves.

From this idea comes Affacci, the exhibition with which the gallery opens its autumn season, ahead of the art fairs: ten contemporary artists, each with their own way of looking out onto the world.

Each work thus becomes a different vantage point, an invitation to look beyond the first glance and to discover, through different languages and sensibilities, new perspectives on reality.

The exhibition unfolds through several possible “views”:

• On a Garden, through the relationship between art and nature;
• On a City, observed through its architecture, rhythms and transformations;
• On a Memory, when an image becomes memory and memory is transformed into form;
• On Another Artist, through a dialogue that crosses different eras, languages and sensibilities;
• On a Landscape, real or imagined, as both a physical and an inner place;
• Artists in Dialogue, bringing different artistic visions into conversation and revealing unexpected correspondences.

The exhibition features Safet Zec, Mauro Reggio, Giorgioppi, Marzio Tamer, Gianfranco Ferroni, Keisei Kobayashi, Sara Menon and Nicola Villa, joined, for the first time at the gallery, by Fabio Adani and Alessio Vaccari.

Affacci does not therefore arise from a single theme, but from a single gesture: that of looking. Ten artists, ten sensibilities, ten possible openings onto the world.

The exhibition will be on view from 6 to 23 October 2026 at Lorenza Salamon Fine Art, Milan.
