Prometeogallery-di-Ida-Pisani

Prometeo was born on the initiative of Ida Pisani, after a long history of cultural association, which evolved in 2005 into a gallery based in Milan and Lucca. Prometeo gallery has always stood out as a catalyst for the social and political demands of multimedia visual artists.
The project inaugurates with "Perra", by the Guatemalan artist Regina José Galindo, who - in the same 2005 - won the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale as Best Under 35 Artist. This recognition was awarded in 2001 to Anìbal Lòpez, another artist Guatemalan with whom the gallery starts a relationship, interrupted by the untimely death of Lòpez at the age of 50.
The first exhibition ("Trabajos italianos") by the Spanish master Santiago Sierra dates back to 2007, presenting his action "Los Anarquistas" in Milan, conceived for the space of the "Volume!" Foundation in Rome.
In 2017, some milestones of Prometeo's path: Sierra's personal “Mea culpa” at the PAC in Milan, where Galindo also exhibited in 2014 and where Zehra Dogan will exhibit in 2021; In addition, 4 artists represented by Prometeo Gallery are present at the 14th edition of Documenta: Stefano Tsivopoulos, Regina José Galindo, Mary Zygouri, Hiwa K. Shortly thereafter, the Kurdish-Iraqi artist Hiwa K exhibits at the New Museum in New York. 
Among the artists of the gallery invited over the years to the Venice Biennale: Ivan Moudov, Giuseppe Stampone, Regina José Galindo, Mary Zygouri, Stefano Tsivoupoulos, Hiwa K.
Galindo's work "Tierra" (2013) becomes part, in 2021, of the collection of the MoMA in New York, as the third work of the artist acquired by the museum. In the same year Regina was awarded the "Robert Rauschemberg Award".
In 2019 the gallery begins to represent the work of the Kurdish-Turkish artist Zehra Doğan, included in the "Power 100" of Art Review in 2020 and 2021. Her drawings from her prison were recently published in the graphic novel entitled “Prigione n ° 5”.
