NANCY LUPO

Meow Meow Real Estate

8 Chelsea Embankment, SW3 4LE, London, United Kingdom. Curated by Vittoria de Franchis.

Nancy Lupo presents Meow Meow Real Estate, her debut solo exhibition in the UK, at the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation in London from 14 March to 23 May 2026.


The exhibition, curated by Vittoria de Franchis, shares its title, Meow Meow Real Estate, with the artist’s first novel recounting a woman looking for an apartment. The search is both literal and existential. The physical space of the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation in London’s Chelsea neighbourhood, with its distinguishing Victorian features, becomes the bourgeois dwelling at the core of Lupo’s narrative fantasy. Through sculptures, text and a real estate transfer, Lupo’s exhibition positions the apartment as a meat-space mirage shaped by wistful projections and housing speculation.


“I keep thinking the solution to a lot of things would be this big and beautiful bourgeois apartment. Everything could happen there, my being, my bathing, my cabinet of costumes. But maybe it's better to just stay in the hotel forever holding aloft the dream of something else; a permanent situation where my feet don't touch the ground. Like an angel, truly and actually.” – Nancy Lupo


The exhibition includes a new work co-produced by with Spike Island, which will be presented at the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation and subsequently at Spike Island, Bristol (30 May - 6 September 2026).
