MICHAEL ARMITAGE AT PALAZZO GRASSI: A POWERFUL VENICE RETROSPECTIVE
Palazzo Grassi in Venice is hosting a major retrospective of Michael Armitage, featuring forty-five paintings and nearly a hundred drawings that blend political realities with dreamlike imagery. The exhibition highlights Armitage's use of lubugo bark cloth, a traditional East African material, and his exploration of themes such as political violence, immigration, and corruption, with works drawn from major collections including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
