MILAN.- Somethings in the World, a solo exhibition by Suzanne Jackson, curated by Bruna Roccasalva, and the fifth edition of the Furla Series program, promoted by Fondazione Furla and GAM - Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Milano has been extended until January 14, 2024.

The exhibition—the first dedicated to the artist by a European museum institution—offers a glimpse of the research Suzanne Jackson has been carrying out for over fifty years, and retraces the key moments of her career.

Suzanne Jackson is an American artist whose practice embraces a broad field of investigation exploring the potential of painting, nourished by her experiences in dance, theater, and poetry. Her initial figurative production—populated by a pictorial matrix of characters, animals, and references to nature—evolved over the years, progressively approaching abstraction, until reaching the elaboration of a very personal vocabulary in which painting takes on both a sculptural and environmental dimension.

Somethings in the World stems from the idea of presenting the various stages of Jackson’s production by outlining the recurring elements, from her debut to her most recent oeuvre, through a careful selection of the most representative sets of works. The twenty-seven works on display, including iconic pieces, previously unseen works and her most recent production, creates a narrative that accompanies the visitor through the artist’s universe, at the same time triggering comparison and dialogue with the GAM setting and the permanent collection.

The Suzanne Jackson exhibition is the fifth edition of the Furla Series project, and is the upshot of collaboration between Fondazione Furla and GAM: a partnership begun in 2021 to promote annual exhibition projects providing a unique opportunity for past masters and protagonists of the contemporary scene to come face to face.

Furla Series is the project cycle that since 2017 has seen the Fondazione Furla engaged in the creation of exhibitions in collaboration with major Italian art institutions, with an all-female program designed to valorize and showcase women’s fundamental contribution to contemporary culture.
