Bill Viola's major exhibition in Milan for the first time

From February 24 to June 25, 2023, the rooms of Palazzo Reale in Milan will host an exhibition dedicated to the greatest video art artist from the 1970s to the present: Bill Viola (New York, 1951). Six years after the major exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, the great American artist returns to Italy, for the first time in Milan, with a comprehensive exhibition, titled simply Bill Viola and curated by Kira Perov, who had also curated Rinascimento elettronico, the successful 2017 Florentine show.

The exhibition at Palazzo Reale spans Bill Viola’s entire output, from works that explore the relationship between man and nature to those inspired by classical iconology. Emotions, meditations and passions emerge from Viola’s videos taking the viewer on an extremely intense inner journey, narrating what can be described as the artist’s most intimate and spiritual journeys through the electronic medium. His greatest masterpieces offer a journey in which to find oneself contemplating the deep themes of life that the artist explores with slow-moving images, where light, color and in part music create moments of profound sacredness.
