Shilpa Gupta

One Palm Closer to the Sky – Furla Series | GAM - Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Milano, Italy

15 September 2026 – 6 January 2027

 

For the eighth edition of the Furla Series programme, Fondazione Furla and GAM – Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Milan present One Palm Closer to the Sky, a solo exhibition by Shilpa Gupta, curated by Bruna Roccasalva.

One of the most influential voices in international contemporary art, Shilpa Gupta explores language, censorship, mobility and the structures that shape individual lives and freedom.

Working across sculpture, light installations, video, sound, and performance, Gupta creates works that move between territories and languages, and between singularity and collectivity, intimacy and public life.
The exhibition presents a series of new productions designed specifically for the museum’s space and explores the pivotal themes of Gupta’s work, offering a glimpse into the inquiry she has been conducting for over twenty years.

The exhibition forms part of the long-standing partnership between Fondazione Furla and GAM – Galleria d’Arte Moderna, which since 2021 has presented a new annual exhibition project, aimed at creating dialogue between contemporary art and the gallery’s historic spaces and permanent collection.

The Furla Series is the project through which, since 2017, Fondazione Furla has organised exhibitions in partnership with leading Italian art institutions, with an all-female programme designed to highlight and celebrate women’s fundamental contribution to contemporary culture.
