This is the most extensive retrospective yet of Californian ‘hippy’ artist Matt Mullican.
Attempting to explain and structure the mad planet we live on, Mullican invented ‘five worlds’, corresponding to different levels of perception and represented by five colours.
Visitors are invited to enter a vast sculpture created for the show by the artist within which they will discover thousands of meticulously arranged works and objects; paintings, rubbings, banners, glass sculptures, works on paper, videos, lightboxes, floor pieces and bigger installations. The exhibition is accompanied by a book of Mullican’s photographic works dating back to analogue photos from the 1970s and 1980s.
Until September 16th at Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, Milan, Italy
