Known for its commitment to contemporary art and culture, Fondazione Prada has three locations in Milan and Venice, as well as a new program extending from this summer through the end of November. Until Sept. 26, Role Play is on exhibit at Osservatorio at the Milan location.

A collaborative project involving photography, video and performance works, this exhibit tackles gendered speech, stereotypes and related topics through the perspectives of 11 international artists exploring the concepts and definition of individuality and identity through role playing and the creation of alternate selves. Among the featured artists are Meriem Bennani, Juno Calypso, Cao Fei, Beatrice Marchi, Darius Mikšys, Tomoko Sawada, Bogosi Sekhukhuni and Amalia Ulman.

An exhibition resulting from a project delving into neuroscience, Human Brains: It Begins with an Idea, will be on view across three floors of Ca’ Corner della Regina building at the Venice location until Nov. 27. Curated by Udo Kittelmann in collaboration with Taryn Simon, this exhibition delves into the intersecting worlds of scientific research and discovery as it explores consciousness and what is both known and unknown about the most mysterious of all human organs.

On view at Milan Cinema, Multiple Canvases is a film program conceptualized by artists Elmgreen & Dragset in conjunction with the scientific board of the Human Brains exhibit. Four films selected by artists Simon Fujiwara, Peter Fischli, Goshka Macuga and Betye Saar screen every Friday and Saturday, Sept. 2–Oct. 1 at Fondazione Prada’s Cinema in Milan — a distinctive building designed by Rem Koolhaas.
