A triple solo exhibition at Gregor Staiger's Milan gallery features works by Monster Chetwynd, Sonia Kacem, and Walter Pfeiffer. Chetwynd presents giant papier-mâché butterflies that hover on the walls, evoking a blend of playfulness and unease. Kacem shows a triptych of violet faux-leather fabric that reinterprets the Baroque fold in a contemporary sculptural form. Pfeiffer contributes a looping black-and-white video offering an intimate glimpse into his Zurich studio, where friends change costumes and dance to shifting radio music. The show runs until June 27, 2026.
The exhibition matters because it brings together three distinct artistic voices—Chetwynd's theatrical and pop-culture-infused installations, Kacem's material-driven abstraction, and Pfeiffer's cult photography—in a dialogue that explores spontaneity, sensuality, and the transformation of everyday materials. It also highlights Gregor Staiger's role in presenting international contemporary art in Milan, while Pfeiffer's concurrent large show at the Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin underscores his growing institutional recognition.
