Founded by Francesca Migliorati and Chiara Rusconi in the historic Palazzo Cigola Fenaroli in Brescia in 2008, APALAZZOGALLERY is a gallery specializing in contemporary art that works with both emerging young artists and established institutional names, both Italian and foreign. The gallery highlights the practice of numerous female artists, including Nathalie Du Pasquier, Lucia Pescador, Marta Pierobon, Nathlie Provosty, Servane Mary and Olympia Scarry, weaving a multigenerational female narrative. This is intertwined with the diasporic narrative of artists such as Sonia Boyce DBE RA, Edson Chagas, and Ibrahim Mahama, whose engagement in the post-colonial social and political debate has been recognized worldwide with numerous awards. The gallery blends numerous languages ranging from Net Art with the duo Eva & Franco Mattes to the natural practice of Ann Iren Buan and Agustas Serapinas. Over the years, the gallery has also undertaken a meticulous process of research and study of the Estates such as Jonas Mekas, Giorgio Ciam and Larry Stanton, whose artistic careers, although extremely significant, have long been overlooked in the contemporary art scene.
Working closely with archives and heirs, the gallery enhances its research and history through charming retrospectives and the publication of previously unpublished monographs and catalogues raisonnés. For its exhibitions, the gallery regularly collaborates with prominent curators and art historians whose contributions make each project unique.
