Micol Assaël. Solo Exhibition at HangarBicocca, Milan

Running concurrently to the huge solo show with Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles, the HangarBicocca in Milan (Italy) presents a solo exhibition of Italian artist Micol Assaël. The show is titled ILIOKATAKINIOMUMASTILOPSARODIMAKOPIOTITA, which is a combination of a number of Greek words. It means nothing, and was chosen by the artist to prevent any pre-established interpretation. Micol Assaël presents five works that have one unifying element: sound.

The works on display are: 432Hz (2009-2014), a wooden shell that contains honeycombs; Vorkuta (2003), a refrigeration chamber where the temperature of -30°C contrasts with a chair maintained at a constant +37°C by an internal thermostat; Mindfall (2004-2007), a container which contains a chair and tables, on which 21 electric motors turn on intermittently, one after the other, creating a sort of musical composition; Untitled (2003), a small iron room crossed by blasts of hot and cold air channelled into the space by powerful fans; and Sub (2014), a new work specially created for the exhibition at HangarBicocca, an assembly of aluminium and glass display units which the artist originally designed to exhibit her Inner Disorder (1999-2001) series of drawings.
