On the occasion of Milano Art Week, LCA Studio Legale presents a site-specific intervention by Giulia Mangoni at Antonini Milano, Palazzo Borromeo.
In dialogue with the Giochi Borromeo cycle, created in the mid-fifteenth century, Mangoni develops a series of drawings that engage with the courtly iconographic repertoire, featuring animal figures, bodies in motion, and botanical motifs, treating it as an open field of variation. The images are not quoted, but reactivated through processes of superimposition, displacement, and proliferation.
This operation is rooted in a visual tradition characteristic of the late Lombard Gothic context, in which manuscript illumination and votive representations translated the observation of reality, particularly in botanical detail, into a system of signs. Similarly, Mangoni reactivates this tension between observation and construction, allowing the figure to emerge as a process rather than a fixed form.
Situated in the adjacent room, Polysemies of the Visible takes shape as a dispositive in which the image unfolds into a plurality of states and appearances. In this space, the visible manifests as polysemy: not as a multiplication of meanings, but as an unstable condition of the image itself.
A project by LCA Studio Legale – Law is Art!, in collaboration with ArtNoble Gallery, Antonini Milano, Apice, and ARTE Generali.
