P420 is pleased to announce ‘Armature’, the first solo exhibition by Ana Lupas in a private gallery.Following the major retrospectives at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (2024), and the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein (2024–2025), this exhibition offers a new opportunity to reconsider the work of one of the most radical figures of Eastern European conceptual avant-garde.
The exhibition title, deliberately left in Italian, plays on a crucial linguistic specificity and a double semantic register. The term armatura simultaneously evokes two key notions in Lupas’s practice: the load-bearing structure—an internal, skeletal support, corresponding to the English armature—and the protective shell, or armor, that shields from external threat.
The entire exhibition revolves around this necessity to support and protect what is vulnerable. Whether addressing collective memory or individual identity, Ana Lupas responds to the threat of erasure with solid, enduring devices of protection.
