During Lambrate Art Night Bulletin Nr. 43, Matteo Mauro Studio opened its doors to host Gruppo Cosmo, a group exhibition curated by Pietro Monopoli. Within Mauro’s studio, the evening centred on the exhibition and on the collective identity of Gruppo Cosmo, a Milan based group of six contemporary artists united by a shared investigation into signs, symbols, language, and contemporary mythologies.
Matteo Mauro Studio functioned as a focal point of convergence, offering a space for reflection on the group’s ongoing exploration of the evolving relationship between artistic language, materiality, and technology. The exhibition also marked Matteo Mauro’s first public engagement of the year. The studio environment operated simultaneously as an exhibition space and a research site, aligning with Mauro’s long-standing interest in the studio as a living system rather than a neutral container. This occasion further provided the opportunity to present Mauro’s most recent Raw on Canvas artworks.
Gruppo Cosmo is a Milan based collective whose practices span painting, sculpture, ceramics, generative art, and text-based research. Despite the diversity of media, the group is held together by a rigorous conceptual framework that examines signs, symbols, contemporary mythologies, and the dialogue between craft and technology.
The exhibition brought together artworks by Alessandro D’Aquila, Davide Baroggi, Francesco De Molfetta (DEMO), Daniel Pontoriero (DAPO), and WARO, alongside Mauro. Rather than converging on a single aesthetic, the exhibition articulated a shared sensibility, one that reflects on how digital consciousness, artificial systems, and symbolic saturation shape contemporary perception.
Across the exhibition, artworks oscillated between material density and digital tension. Painting, sculpture, and hybrid objects emerged as sites in which human gesture and algorithmic thinking coexist and intersect.
