Mirosław Bałka has opened a major solo exhibition at the Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, featuring a new large-scale installation titled 'CROSSOVER/S' (2026) alongside a selection of his works from the past two decades. The exhibition, curated by Vicente Todolí, explores themes of memory, absence, and the body through materials like salt, felt, and steel, creating an immersive, meditative environment.
The show is a significant event in the European art calendar, highlighting Bałka's continued relevance as a leading figure in contemporary sculpture. It underscores the artist's profound engagement with personal and collective history, particularly the trauma of the Holocaust and the complexities of Polish identity, offering a poignant reflection on how memory is constructed and preserved in the post-war era.
