Brain Thinking Models and Drawings by Jan Fabre

From 21 February to 12 April 2026, in the evocative setting of the Mucciaccia Gallery in Cortina d’Ampezzo, an exhibition comes to life that invites the public to enter the beating heart of the artistic thinking of one of the boldest protagonists of contemporary art: Jan Fabre.

Brain Thinking Models and Drawings by Jan Fabre presents 25 works — including 11 drawings and 14 sculptures — that portray the creative process as experimentation, research and knowledge.

For Fabre, drawing is not a mere sketch: it is a fundamental instrument of reflection, a bridge between mind and matter, between rational control and instinctive impulse. His works emerge from a constant tension — between order and chaos, discipline and metamorphosis — turning art into a territory of discovery and continuous investigation.

This exhibition does not simply display objects; it transforms viewing into an experience, guiding visitors into a direct dialogue with the artist’s vision: a universe in which every mark and every form constitutes a window onto thought, the body and the imagination.

An internationally significant cultural event that forms part of the vibrant cultural calendar of Cortina d’Ampezzo, offering a bridge between art, science and philosophy, and furthering the city’s global dialogue through creativity.
