CIRCA is an evolving portrait of the present moment, created by artists. Together, these works trace the ideas, tensions and possibilities shaping life in the 21st century. Presented across public space, publishing, moving image and live experiences, they form part of the #CIRCAECONOMY, a circular model where one commission creates the conditions for the next.
Currently Showing: Michelangelo Pistoletto, Three Mirrors
Michelangelo Pistoletto once described his Mirror Paintings as openings rather than images, surfaces that do not contain the world but allow it to enter. In Three Mirrors (2026), created in collaboration with CIRCA, that idea moves fully into the public realm, where the work is no longer confined to a studio or gallery but unfolds across cities, screens and shared time.
A conversation between Josef O’Connor and Michelangelo Pistoletto
There are some artists whose work belongs to history, and others whose work returns to the present with increasing force. Michelangelo Pistoletto is both. For more than six decades, he has asked art to do more than represent the world, insisting that it enter it, absorb it, implicate it, and ultimately help reorganise it. That proposition feels especially urgent now.
