Last days to visit in London: ‘The stairway that separates my room from my memory’ - a collaborative exhibition with Courtauld MA Curating students 25/26 that brings together artists from the Nicoletta Fiorucci Collection alongside existing and newly commissioned works by other artists, authors, and filmmakers.

The presented works trace how home is carried across borders and reconstructed through sounds, memory, objects, and images. Landscapes, domestic spaces, and personal archives reveal cultural identity as fluid, provisional, and continually negotiated.

A publication accompanying the exhibition is available at the Foundation and has been produced in collaboration with Cheerio.

Curated by the Courtauld MA Curating Cohort in conversation with Giulia Civardi.

On view until 20 June
Thursday–Friday, 11 am–6 pm; Saturday, 1–5 pm

“My homes have always been a place where artists and friends gather and exchange ideas”. Nicoletta Fiorucci presents La Casa degli Artisti in Grasse, renovated by Architetti Artigiani Anonimi, on the Financial Times.

“With Italian architect Annarita Aversa she has renovated a second cream-coloured, three-storey building to become a guest house for artists. Now named La Casa Degli Artisti, artists-in-residence will live and work here for between two and four weeks at a time. Anthea Hamilton, Eduardo Navarro and Maria Loboda have been among the first to visit.

The attention lavished on the outdoors has made its way into the residence itself. “The idea was to bring the beauty of the Provençal garden into the house,” says Aversa, whose studio Architetti Artigiani Anonimi, with bases in Amalfi and Milan, is known for its modern interpretations of historic architecture. Here the aim was “reinforcing a sense of continuity between inside and out, and allowing the landscape to permeate the building”.

Several artworks have been introduced into the landscape too — pieces that Pejrone describes as “romantic choices rooted in memory and tradition” that will be changed over time to create “a living landscape of new arrivals”. Among them is Judith Hopf’s “Blade of Grass” — a single steel grass stem standing 2.5 metres high. There are also works from those first artist residents. Lithuanian sculptor Augustas Serapinas spent a week on the estate installing “House for Potatoes and Chamomile” (2025), a structure built from the salvaged beams of a rural Lithuanian house, repurposed as planters, and between which the title ingredients are planted.”

Congratulations to Nancy Lupo on her solo exhibition ‘Several Chickens Later’ at Spike Island, featuring the new work ‘The Enclosure’, co- produced with the Foundation. The work connects the exhibition with Lupo’s recent solo show, ‘Meow Meow Real Estate’, presented at the Foundation in London in 2026.

In her work, which encompasses sculpture, video, writing, sound, drawing, painting, performance and architecturally specific installation, Lupo reflects on how collective fantasies and emotions become embedded in form.

The exhibition at Spike Island prolongs the reverie and the longing for domesticity. It refuses a reality-check, and loops back into wistful illusion. Although the mirage is tired, its feeble flame still somehow persists. A corpus of newly commissioned sculptures, playing with the scale and industrial grandeur of Spike Island’s galleries, evokes the fragility of our endeavours, and the futility of our fantasies.

On view until 6 September 2026.

‘Home In Motion’ at Institute of Contemporary Arts in London on 13 June 2026, 6 pm

A film programme exploring diasporic home-making and migration through moving image. Films by Hiwa K, Alia Farid, and Jonathas de Andrade reflect on identity, displacement, resilience, and community across Iraq, Brazil, and beyond. Together, the films offer a moving perspective on migration, belonging, and collective support in today’s geopolitical context. With brief notes by Steven Cairns (Institute of Contemporary Arts, London), Giulia Civardi (Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation), Bianca Stoppani (Fondazione In Between Art Film), and Courtauld’s MA Curating Cohort.

This event is part of the public programme for the exhibition ‘The stairway that separates my room from my memory’ at the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation in London (4-20 June 2026).

“Rock Soup is a sculpture comprising a gas bottle, gas ring, a pot, a broth, the sound of the boiling and the aroma. It’s a sculptural soup. The smell is the first element you encounter when entering a home where someone is cooking, you immediately imagine the meal.

Rock Soup comes from the folklore of travellers carrying nothing more than an empty pot. In the story the soup making becomes a communal exercise and a parable of working together when curious villagers join the travellers by bringing vegetables to add to the broth to make a shared meal.” (Lydia Ourahmane)

‘5 Works’ by Lydia Ourahmane, curated by Polly Staple, is on view in Venice.

Opening 4 June 2026 in London: ‘The stairway that separates my room from my memory’ presented by Courtauld MA Curating 2025/26 in collaboration with Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation.

A group exhibition, curated by the Courtauld MA Curating Cohort in conversation with Giulia Civardi, and accompanying public programme, in partnership with the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London and Fondazione In Between Art Film, inviting audiences to reconsider homemaking as an ongoing act of belonging, repair, and transformation.

Featuring works by Etel Adnan, Jonathas de Andrade, Atef Alshaer, KV Duong, Elçin Ekinci, Alia Farid, Betty C Fan, Simone Fattal, José García Oliva, Alya Hatta, Mona Hatoum, Hiwa K., Mar Kristoff, Narges Mohammadi, Gerhard Richter, Ania Soliman, Zineb Sedira, Kudzanai Violet Hwami, Želimir Žilnik.

The exhibition takes its title from a 1990 poem by visual artist and author Etel Adnan, in which the stairway becomes a metaphor for a transitional identity, a threshold that both separates and connects. Bringing together works from the Nicoletta Fiorucci Collection, alongside existing and newly commissioned works, the exhibition and its related events explore how notions of home shift through migration, exile, and diaspora.

The presented works reflect experiences of both voluntary and forced migration, tracing how home is carried across borders and reconstructed through memory, sounds, objects, and images.

Opening 4 June 2026, 6–8 pm

‘The Second Shadow. Dozie Kanu Mirroring Marc Camille Chaimowicz, with Shared Echoes and Kindred Spirits’, is a collaborative exhibition with Fondazione ICA Milano.

The exhibition, curated by Rita Selvaggio with the support of Giulia Civardi, brings into dialogue two environmental installations conceived as rooms: Jean Cocteau (2003–2014) by Marc Camille Chaimowicz (Paris 1947 – London 2024) and a new site-specific intervention by Dozie Kanu (1993, Houston), designed as a response to and reflection of the historic work. The project originates as a reflection on the double, inheritance, and the affective transmission of forms, activating a genealogy that brings together Cocteau, Chaimowicz, and Kanu.

The exhibition includes works by Kai Althoff, Camille Blatrix, Dora Budor, Valentin Carron, Matt Copson, Trisha Donnelly, Pierre Huyghe, Jannis Kounellis, Le Corbusier, Jasper Marsalis, Otobong Nkanga, Precious Okoyomon, Jennifer Packer, Gianni Piacentino, Cinzia Ruggeri, Dayanita Singh, Z. Susskind, SoiL Thornton, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye e Heimo Zobernig.

‘Meow Meow Real Estate’ by Nancy Lupo is on view in London until 23 May 2026.

The exhibition, curated by Vittoria de Franchis, shares its title with the artist’s first novel recounting a woman looking for an apartment. The search is both literal and existential. The physical space of the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation in London’s Chelsea neighbourhood, with its distinguishing Victorian features, becomes the bourgeois dwelling at the core of Lupo’s narrative fantasy. Through sculpture and a real estate listing, Lupo’s exhibition positions the apartment as a meat-space mirage shaped by wistful projections and housing speculation.

Congratulations to Gozo Yoshimasu for winning the inaugural Serpentine x FLAG Art Foundation Prize.

Having emerged from Tokyo’s interdisciplinary avant-garde of the 1960s, Yoshimasu has developed a distinctive practice that combines poetry with performance, audio recordings, photography and his own moving-image form known as gozoCiné. The exhibition, debuting at Serpentine North in autumn 2027 and followed by a presentation at the FLAG Art Foundation in Spring 2028, will mark the first major solo institutional exhibition of the artist’s work in both Europe and the United States. It will be accompanied by a dedicated catalogue and a dynamic live programme, developed and produced collaboratively by both institutions.

Gozo Yoshimasu’s work is held in the Nicoletta Fiorucci Collection.
