The ICA Milano Foundation presents Wooden Travel, the solo exhibition of Lithuanian artist Augustas Serapinas (Vilnius, 1990), which opens to the public from December 12, 2024, to March 15, 2025. Curated by Chiara Nuzzi, the exhibition is part of the research path that the Foundation has been pursuing since 2019, delving into social and cultural themes that permeate the current artistic landscape.


In his work, Augustas Serapinas addresses urgent issues such as global warming, gentrification, the construction of identity through the preservation of memory, and the progressive loss of traditional knowledge and cultural human processes. Known for his imposing site-specific installations that explore the relationship between architecture, memory, and perception, in Milan the artist presents a new project specially conceived in response to the spaces of the ICA Milano Foundation and the urban context in which it is located: a complex wooden installation that continues Serapinas' interest in vernacular architecture, a theme that has influenced his research for some time.


In Wooden Travel, the artist focuses on possible social and political changes in contemporary living spaces, inviting the public to open up to infinite possibilities of creation, communication, and coexistence towards new formal and structural scenarios. The exhibition is Serapinas' investigation into the relationship between vernacular architectural tradition - characteristic of Lithuania - and monumental modern sculpture, representing at the same time an experimental evolution of his artistic research on space and the relational potential it holds.


Serapinas has exhibited his works in prestigious international contexts such as the Venice Biennale, the Toronto Biennial of Art, and the Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art (RIBOCA). With Wooden Travel, the artist invites the public to explore a new way of perceiving architecture and space, proposing a reflection on the fragility of traditions and historical narratives and the possibilities they can offer us as individuals in a crisis-ridden present.
