White noise

18 June - 12 July

San Vittore, Milan




VILLEPIN is pleased to present White Noise, a major new exhibition by Marie de Villepin inaugurating the gallery’s long-term curatorial programme in Milan, unfolding through a series of exhibitions presented within the deconsecrated church of San Vittore. Conceived less as a conventional gallery than as a site for rare and immersive curatorial encounters, the programme invites artists to engage with the unique atmosphere, memory, and architectural presence of the space.

This presentation marks Zenzaburō Kojima’s debut in a Hong Kong gallery, reuniting his work with that of his peers within migrant artist circles in Paris.
