29 Arts in Progress Gallery Via San Vittore 13 20123 Milan - Italy   Farnaz Damnabi - Saffron worker, 2022 - Courtesy of 29 ARTS IN PROGRESS gallery     29 ARTS IN PROGRESS gallery is delighted to present the first personal exhibition of the young Iranian Artist Farnaz Damnabi,open now and extended owing to popular demand until the 30th September ’23.

Many of the photographs on display highlight issues such as discrimination against wom...

Uchronie, an exhibition at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature (Museum of Hunting and Nature), is dedicated to the work of photographer and artist Vincent Fournier. Uchronie is the name given to a fictional reconstruction of history that might have differed from what we know. With this title, the exhibition is seen as so many disturbing parallel histories. What if? In an alternative version of history, the Uchronie exhibition explores humanity's relationship with nature and technology. It raises questions about the possible evolution of life on Earth. Fournier is inspired by the utopian visions of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as space exploration and the redesign of life itself. His concept of 'future bursts' blends the phantastical and the believable, creating compelling stories from the past and present. The exhibition is a light-hearted exploration of how life as we know it has evolved over time. Recognizing his unique work, the Museum invited Fournier to exhibit...
