Mirosław Bałka has opened a major solo exhibition at the Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, featuring a new, large-scale installation titled 'CROSSOVER/S' (2026). The work, a monumental steel structure filled with salt, continues the Polish artist's decades-long exploration of memory, trauma, and the body, using industrial materials to evoke profound personal and historical narratives.
The exhibition is a highlight of Milan's art week, coinciding with the Miart fair, and underscores Bałka's significant position in contemporary art. His ability to transform minimalist forms into powerful vessels of collective memory speaks to ongoing global conversations about history, loss, and materiality, reinforcing the role of art in processing complex pasts.
