A master of cinematic references, Francesco Vezzoli puts on a lavish performance for his final turn as NOWNESS’s artist-in-residence. Appropriating his own work, a tapestry of Greta Garbo hung last year in his MOCA retrospective, and based on Italian Nobel laureate Luigi Pirandello’s play As You Desire Me, Vezzoli makes self-representation and entertainment meld in Milan’s heady nightclub, Plastic. “The culture of performance is very important to me,” says the artist, who enlisted the club’s vaunted drag performers for the 21st-century reenactment.
