Nel Labirinto

Arnaldo Pomodoro's Labyrinth / via Solari 35, Milano

Immersed in a magical and timeless atmosphere, we will discover a place that evokes distant times, the work of a lifetime, a magical and evocative environment conceived over almost twenty years and inspired by the Epic of Gilgamesh, the first epic poem known to history, engraved on eleven clay tablets in Sumerian script. We will rediscover the characteristic elements of the artist's work to reconstruct his literary and figurative influences together.

The environmental work “Ingresso nel Labirinto” is an environment of 170 square meters, begun in 1995, inaugurated in 2011, today still in work in progress … Arnaldo Pomodoro's Labyrinth has found its definitive location in the underground spaces of the former Riva-Calzoni building in via Solari 35, once the Museum of the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation, now home to the Fendi Show-room.

Guided tours of Arnaldo Pomodoro's Labyrinth are suspended: they will resume at the end of 2024
