Alison Jacques are delighted to announce Notizia, a solo exhibition of works by Erika Verzutti, opening at the Fondazione ICA Milano, Milan on 10 April 2024. Curated by Chiara Nuzzi and Alberto Salvadori, this exhibition is conceived for the ground floor of Fondazione ICA Milano and offers a selection of several sculptural works that Verzutti created almost entirely in Milan between 2023 and 2024.

Notizia explores Verzutti’s relationship/reaction to the circulation of information in the contemporary. Bronze, ceramic and resin sculptures unfold before the viewer, evoking totemic figures. The works on display recall both the natural and artificial world: objects like tropical fruits and eggs contrast with references to newspaper sheets.

As Nuzzi and Salvadori explain: ‘Verzutti’s sculpture is not new to concepts of disobedience and irreverence… It is precisely from this challenge that the artist asks how it is possible to produce works of art in a present characterised by increasing inequality and instability’. Notizia addresses the many strands of research that characterise the artist’s work, such as vernacular culture, domesticity, the digital world and social conflicts, creating a space of creative, social and political freedom.
