SECCI

About the Gallery
SECCI Gallery was founded in Florence in 2013, where it grew and established itself internationally. Today, the gallery has consolidated its main location in Milan, at Via Olmetto 1, where it continues to develop a high-quality exhibition program and a distinctive, rigorous curatorial approach. The gallery’s evolution has led to the promotion of international collaborations and partnerships with critics, curators, and prestigious institutions, contributing to its reputation within the contemporary art scene.

In 2021, SECCI expanded its vision by opening its doors to post-war avant-garde art, beginning with a significant retrospective dedicated to Titina Maselli. This event also marked the beginning of important collaborations with Artist’s Estates. Today, SECCI presents and develops a multidisciplinary program, able to integrate and make modern and contemporary art coexist, following the cross-cutting nature of art itself.

Additionally, SECCI is pleased to announce the relaunch of the “Novo” project, which will resume in 2025 under the curation of Marco Scotini. This new phase continues to explore social and cultural dynamics through engaging artistic practices, with a curatorial approach that critically reflects the complexities of our time. Scotini’s extensive experience, developed through over two hundred international projects—including exhibitions, festivals, and collaborations with renowned institutions such as the Venice Biennale, the Istanbul Biennale, the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, the Castello di Rivoli, and the Museo Reina Sofía—embodies a contemporary, critical vision that we are proud to welcome into our program.

About the Presentation
Omar Mismar will make his New York debut in a solo presentation with SECCI, a first-time exhibitor at Independent. Mismar’s practice engages critically with the political construction of history, examining how narratives are shaped, fragmented, and controlled through systems of power. Working across sculpture and installation, he draws on archival materials and personal testimonies to expose the mechanisms through which certain histories are legitimized while others are suppressed. The presentation will introduce a research-driven practice that confronts questions of authorship, visibility, and institutional authority. In a moment marked by geopolitical conflict, the weaponization of memory, and the erosion of historical accountability, Mismar’s work resonates with particular urgency. This presentation positions his practice within a broader reflection on how contemporary politics actively rewrite the past and condition the future.
