MARCUS SAILE – ‘DRIFTERS’ @ z2o SARA ZANIN PROJECT SPACE

z2o Project, Rome – in collaboration with A+B Gallery, Brescia

Untitled, 2025, oil on wood, cm 171 x 117

In Drifters, Markus Saile explores painting as both gesture and object—forms that move, settle, and shift without fixed intent. Responding to the architecture of the gallery, his new works form a fragmented, poetic syntax where edges, gaps, and overlaps create meaning. The elongated Pipe paintings act as visual caesuras—cuts that connect—evoking digital punctuation and temporal rhythm. Layered transparencies and paint deposits trace the passage of time, while brushstrokes model volume like 3D extrusions. Saile’s paintings hover between surface and depth, image and space—drifting, as viewers do, through their unfolding architectures.

Douglas Gordon @ MAXXI – ‘Pretty much every film and video work from about 1992 until now’ish…‘

A multimedia installation brings together the full range of Douglas Gordon’s films and videos, highlighting his position as one of the most influential artists working with moving images.

In 1999, when invited to exhibit at Warsaw’s Foksal Gallery, Gordon decided to show every video work he had made up to that date. The resulting exhibition—titled Pretty much every film and video work from about 1992 until now. To be seen on monitors, some with headphones, others run silently and all simultaneously—became both an artwork and an archive: a living system of interconnected pieces that unfolded in a continuous visual and conceptual flow.

Since then, the installation has evolved across multiple exhibitions, expanding with each iteration as new works are added. Gordon’s practice draws on an eclectic mix of visual sources—classic and forgotten films, documentaries, television, and amateur footage. By re-editing, slowing, mirroring, and recontextualizing these fragments, he generates a sense of uncanny familiarity, a feeling of both recognition and disorientation.

Through repetition and manipulation, Gordon dismantles what viewers expect from images and narratives, reconstructing them into ambiguous, emotionally charged experiences. His work transforms ordinary visual culture into a field of tension and reflection—an ever-shifting space between memory, imagination, and perception.

National Academy of Chinese Painting Exhibition at MACRO Rome

The prestigious MACRO museum in Rome is currently hosting an exceptional exhibition featuring 55 distinguished artists from the National Academy of Chinese Painting in Beijing (March 15 – April 21, 2025).

Marking the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and the People’s Republic of China, this significant cultural exchange brings together diverse generations of artists from China’s foremost institution for artistic research and creation.

Visitors will experience a rich tapestry of traditional Chinese artistic expression through paintings, calligraphy, and prints. These masterworks—created with inks, watercolors, and various pigments on paper and silk—often feature the artists’ personal calligraphic inscriptions and traditional seals.

The exhibition showcases recurring motifs like mountains, landscapes, bamboo, plum blossoms, orchids, and chrysanthemums—subjects that transcend mere representation to become reflections of inner worlds and spiritual journeys, offering unique perspectives on contemporary China.

Several pieces highlight the fascinating dialogue between Chinese and Western artistic traditions, reflecting the enduring interest Chinese artists have maintained in Rome and its rich cultural heritage.

This exhibition, organized by Azienda Speciale Palaexpo in collaboration with the National Academy of Chinese Painting and the CHINA-EU ART FOUNDATION, represents a remarkable opportunity to witness how artists honor millennial traditions while continuously expanding their themes, content, and artistic language.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Adelisa Selimbašić , Dust Bunny @ z2o Sara Zanin Gallery, Rome. 3/10/2024-15/11/2024

C’era la luna piena, 2024, oil on canvas, cm 100 x 100. Ph. Dario Lasagni

z2o Sara Zanin presents Dust Bunny, the first solo exhibition in Rome by Adelisa Selimbašić, curated by Michele Spinelli. This exhibition, stemming from Selimbašić’s residency at the z2o Project Space, revolves around the idea that dust bunnies—those overlooked clumps of dust often dismissed as waste—are actually traces of human life, containing subtle memories and fragments of our daily existence.

Selimbašić’s vibrant paintings explore the complex relationship between body and space, challenging traditional ideals of beauty and perfection. Her work reinterprets the human body, transforming color and texture into an exploration of presence and memory, while engaging with socio-political reflections on the overlooked aspects of our lives.

TAL R, Boy Looking at the Sun, Tim Van Laere Gallery, Rome.

21 September – 9 November, 2024

Tim Van Laere Gallery proudly presents Boy Looking at the Sun, Tal R’s third solo exhibition with the gallery and his first in their Roman space. This show features new paintings and sculptures that reflect his unique approach to capturing the world.

Known for working across various media, Tal R uses what he calls “artist mathematics” to explore both the physical and abstract realms. His works appear straightforward at first glance, but deeper inspection reveals a sense of discomfort and mystery, as if reality itself is slightly off-balance.

In Boy Looking at the Sun, Tal R draws inspiration from personal life, portraying his family and friends. However, he intentionally distills their representation to the essence, transforming familiar faces into something entirely different within the universe of art. As Tal R explains, his work “takes something precious from one world and translates it into another.”

Tal R’s works have been exhibited in major museums worldwide, including Centre Pompidou, The Art Institute of Chicago, and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.

Post Scriptum. A museum forgotten by heart. MACRO
4 October 2024 – 16 February 2025 

Pippa Garner, Shades of Hollywood, 1982. Ph. Aaron Rapoport  

Curated by Luca Lo Pinto, the group exhibition Forgetting by Heart draws its title from a phrase coined in the 1960s by Vincenzo Agnetti, symbolizing a reflective conclusion to MACRO’s five-year artistic journey. This expansive show sprawls across over 10,000 square meters, weaving through the museum’s architecture and featuring works by over 30 renowned Italian and international artists, including Tolia Astakhishvili, Maurizio Altieri, Pippa Garner, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Issy Wood. The exhibition merges acclaimed figures like Luciano Fabro, Isa Genzken, and Simone Forti with emerging talents like Hamishi Farah and Sandra Mujinga. This culmination cof MACRO’s programming reflects the institution’s deep self-examination, incorporating diverse mediums from art to design and music.

As a nod to its earlier exhibitions, Forgetting by Heart mirrors Editorial, a 2020 show that launched Lo Pinto’s curatorial direction, positioning the museum as a space for “Preventive Imagination.” Allan Kaprow’s 1961 piece Yard is also featured, emphasizing art’s capacity to challenge individualism and engage with social contexts.

Alessia Armeni & Chiara Fantaccione @ Curva Pura

Alessia Armeni, Sunhours, h114x146, oil on canvas, 2019.

From February 29 – March 29, 2024, Curva Pura presents the dual exhibition “Sunset Boulevard” by Alessia Armeni and Chiara Fantaccione, curated by Nicoletta Provenzano.

This exhibition explores how light and shadow define the boundaries of transformation, bridging and dividing realms. Armeni and Fantaccione traverse the spectrum of light across different scenes—from natural landscapes to the vast cosmos—prompting us to consider the spaces that lie between beginnings and endings, and the familiar and the unknown. Here, time is more than a series of moments; it becomes a transformative space filled with light as medium.

Alessia Armeni’s oil paintings capture the essence of light at specific moments, creating layers of depth through projected geometric lines across the canvas. These moments of reflection invite us to pause and consider the expanse of time and space as vibrant colors stretch out, hinting at infinite possibilities. Through her work, Armeni encourages us to reflect on the continuous flow of existence.

Chiara Fantaccione’s installations transform landscapes and objects into representations of the fleeting moments between light and dark, life and death, treating them as complex symbols of our reality. These pieces capture the essence of transitions, like the daily cycle of the sun, challenging our perceptions of permanence and ephemerality. Through the use of vivid colors and natural rhythms, Fantaccione draws attention to the cycle of life and the spaces that frame our experiences.

“Sunset Boulevard” combines these perspectives into an immersive experience of light, material, and rhythm, weaving together the physical and temporal dimensions into a visionary exploration of space and time.

Anselm Kiefer / The Consciousness of Stones / Galleria Lorcan O’Neill

Galleria Lorcan O’Neill hosts “The Consciousness of Stones,” an exhibition showcasing seven new monumental paintings by renowned German artist Anselm Kiefer, from November 10, 2023, to March 16, 2024. These breathtaking pieces, centered around the motif of islands, delve into themes of isolation, exploration, and the innate human yearning for connection, subjects that have captivated Kiefer throughout his career.

Kiefer’s work is a testament to his ability to intertwine a rich tapestry of influences — drawing from mythologies, literature, philosophical musings, and his own life’s journey — to create a deeply resonant body of work. Through his portrayal of islands, Kiefer navigates the complex interplay between physical detachment and the emotional bonds that tie us to places and to each other. The islands stand as metaphors for the solitary nature of human existence, while also serving as sites of discovery and the profound quest for understanding and unity.

Each painting in the exhibition is not just a geographical depiction but a philosophical inquiry, inviting viewers to contemplate the multifaceted layers of human consciousness and our relationship with the natural world. Kiefer’s use of materials and scale further amplifies the intensity of the themes explored, making “The Consciousness of Stones” a powerful reflection on the human condition.

Jannis Kounellis @ MAXXI

The latest exhibition at the gallery pays homage to Jannis Kounellis, an artist renowned for revolutionizing the interaction between artwork and viewer. This showcase delves into Kounellis’ exploration of art, deeply intertwined with theatrical and performative elements, reflecting his innovative approach that blurs the boundaries between different artistic disciplines.

Central to this exhibition, housed within Galleria 5, is the piece “Senza titolo (Notte).” This work draws inspiration from Kounellis’ initial experiments with the alphabet during the 1950s, symbolizing the artist’s move away from conventional visual hierarchies. The installation features letters that seem to dance in mid-air, inviting onlookers to engage in a dual process of deciphering meaning while appreciating the forms as abstract symbols. This interplay embodies the dynamism and fluidity of communication, encouraging a participatory experience of discovery and interpretation.

Another highlight of the show is “Senza titolo (Nabucco),” a piece that fills the gallery space with the haunting melodies of the “Va pensiero” aria, rendered in a slow, dreamlike manner. This auditory experience transforms the gallery into a liminal zone, hovering between being a stage for performance and a space for art exhibition, thus challenging the conventions of how art is consumed and appreciated.

The exhibition culminates in a reimagined version of a work originally conceived for the cloister of San Lazzaro degli Armeni in Venice. This final piece artfully plays with the tension between different materials and serves as a theatrical backdrop, symbolizing a threshold or passage that speaks to the relationship between the interiority of the museum and the external world. Through this thoughtful curation, the exhibition invites viewers to traverse a journey that reflects on the essence of visibility, space, and the transformative power of art, reinforcing Kounellis’ legacy as a pioneer who melded the realms of visual art and performance.

“…E Prini,”at MACRO, Via Nizza, Rome

The MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome is currently hosting a rich tapestry of exhibitions that explore the depths and diversities of contemporary art. Among these, the spotlight shines brightly on “…E Prini,” an exhibition dedicated to the pioneering work of Emilio Prini (1943–2016), an enigmatic figure in Italy’s art scene. This retrospective, open from October 27, 2023, to March 31, 2024, is the most comprehensive survey of Prini’s work to date, showcasing over 250 pieces in collaboration with the Archivio Emilio Prini. The exhibition traces a fifty-year journey from 1966 to 2016, offering a chronological exploration of Prini’s ceaseless experimentation and his challenge to the conventional understanding of art.

Prini’s oeuvre is a testament to a life spent in pursuit of art that defies easy categorization, emphasizing an empirical and aesthetic inquiry into concepts like standardization and the void. The display spans a diverse array of media—works, photographs, invitations, and sculptures—presenting a cohesive yet open-ended narrative that invites viewers to engage with the materiality and metaphysics of Prini’s world.

Significant pieces include his early experiments with space and perception, urban studies, and investigations into the material fatigue of electronic devices, showcasing his interest in the intersection of art, technology, and urbanism. The latter part of the exhibition focuses on Prini’s typewriter drawings from the 1970s, blending mathematical formulas, architectural sketches, and poetic notes, highlighting his innovative approach to art-making.

This exhibition not only celebrates Prini’s legacy but also invites reflection on the contemporary relevance of his questions about art production, historicization, and interpretation. As society grapples with the hyperproduction and consumption of images and objects, Prini’s work remains a critical lens through which to examine our current cultural landscape.

The MACRO Museum’s commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of contemporary art practices is further exemplified by its diverse programming, including the “Retrofuture” exhibition, which gathers works from a myriad of artists exploring themes of past and future. Admission to the museum and its exhibitions, including “…E Prini,” is free, offering an accessible gateway to the rich world of contemporary art.

Gagosian Rome / August / Sabine Moritz / September 22nd-November 11th 2023

Gagosian Rome unveils August, a new exhibit showcasing Sabine Moritz’s impressive array of large-scale paintings and works on paper. This marks Moritz’s debut exhibition with Gagosian and her inaugural showcase in Italy.

Deeply contemplative of time, Moritz’s artwork is a testament to moments frozen in paint and paper. Her works, whether they’re recollections of her surroundings or abstract impressions, all share a core theme: the fleeting nature of moments and memories. With a shift towards abstraction since 2015, her “psychological landscapes” merge recollection and history, blending color and gesture into a visual dialogue that challenges the viewer’s perception.

Moritz’s recent pieces express a rich tapestry of brushstrokes, layers, and vibrant colors. Despite the apparent chaos, a rhythmic harmony remains evident. The exhibition features her four grandest artworks, illustrating the beauty and hope that persist even in daunting situations. These pieces draw inspiration from Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” and diverse art historical references. Themes of human vulnerability, sensuality, and potency come alive, especially in artworks like “Actaeon’s End” (2023) that bridges her current and past exhibitions.

Experience a world where the abstract meets the concrete, where memories intertwine with history, and where every brushstroke tells a story. Dive into Sabine Moritz’s visual narrative at Gagosian Rome and discover a unique interplay of time, memory, and art.

Z20 Sarah Zanin / Alexi Marshall / Taming the Unruly Gods / 5th October-7th December 2023

Opening on October 5th at z2o Project, Via Baccio Pontelli 16, is Taming the Unruly Gods, the inaugural Italian solo showcase of Alexi Marshall (UK, 1995). Dive deep into Marshall’s unique realm where mosaics, linocuts, and embroideries narrate a blend of myths, realities, and personal symbols.

Alexi’s artworks challenge and embrace themes of spirituality, life’s cyclical nature, and the enigma of femininity. One of the standout pieces showcases a woman interacting with tarot cards, channeling the idea: “If life is a game of cards, we are born without knowing the rules.” Marshall’s works introduce us to “undisciplined deities” that influence our journey, touching on primal instincts to esoteric complexities.

The homage to the Cuban artist, Belkis Ayon, reveals a tale of censorship, violence, and inequality, adapting Ayon’s legacy into Marshall’s visionary landscape. Alexi frequently employs the pomegranate as a symbolic thread in their creations, representing the duality of life and death, fertility and decay—drawing connections to ancient Roman beliefs and the eternal human cycle.

Marshall’s pieces are both a mystique and an invitation—urging viewers to delve into the multifaceted representation of the female form, blending human with the supernatural. Their artistry pushes narrative boundaries, offering innovative interpretations that defy the normative and inspire exploration.

Venture into this sanctuary at z2o Project, where Alexi’s reimagined identities and tales merge past and present, real and imagined, in a dance of personal mythology.

FONDAZIONE PASTIFICIO CERERE / THE MIRACLE OF URAKAWA / François Marcadon / 7th October 2023 – 28th October 2023

Step into the evocative realms of The Miracle of Urakawa, an exhibition that promises a vivid blend of François Marcadon’s artistry and personal journeys. Through 30 meticulously crafted watercolors, he brings to life the enigma of Japan, its landscapes, and the depth of human psyche. Each piece is a testament to Marcadon’s ability to weave the intricacies of the mind-body connection, resulting in artworks that shimmer with dreamlike beauty while echoing the stark realities of existence.

Marcadon’s time in Urakawa was not just an artistic retreat. He collaborated closely with Bethel House, a groundbreaking psychiatric institute. Their methods, which prioritize talk therapies and foster a nurturing bond between caregivers and patients, profoundly influenced his works.

But his journey doesn’t end in Japan. This October, Marcadon’s explorations take a fresh turn in Rome. Delving deep into the annals of mental health, he contrasts practices from the historic Santa Maria della Pietà asylum, one of Europe’s age-old psychiatric establishments, with contemporary approaches. It’s an immersive dive into the evolution of mental health understanding.

Additionally, a highlight of this exhibition is Marcadon’s insightful discussions with René Stockman, an esteemed expert in psychiatric care. Together, they aim to shed light on the Vatican’s perspectives on mental health, adding layers of depth to an already intricate tapestry of art, history, and science.

Explore this multi-dimensional experience, where art meets awareness, past confronts the present, and individual stories intertwine with collective histories.

FONDAZIONE GIULIANI / THE RISE AND THE FALL – LIZ MAGOR
27th October 2023 – 27th January 2024

Fondazione Giuliani proudly introduces Liz Magor’s debut solo exhibition in Rome, spotlighting the celebrated Canadian artist’s sculpture work spanning over four decades. Magor’s creations delve deep into our intricate bonds with everyday objects, transforming overlooked items into striking pieces oscillating between still life and the eerily familiar. Elements like worn clothing, blankets, and old toys, under Magor’s touch, transcend their original intent, eliciting deeper emotional connections and significance.

This exhibit showcases a curated collection from Magor’s recent half-decade, focusing on her insight into the ‘agency’ latent in lifeless objects and her exploration of their captivating emotional pull. Her unique perspective on commonplace items aligns with contemporary dialogues surrounding the significance of material objects in our societal, political, and psychological spheres.

The work blurs lines between reality, fantasy, and identity, asking poignant questions about authenticity and performance.

Sin Wai Kin’s multidisciplinary approach incorporates video, installations, and performance, crafting a narrative that oscillates between personal experiences and pop culture references. Alongside the film, Fondazione Memmo will feature evolving characters from the video, represented by busts, wigs, and imprinted makeup wipes, symbolizing the fluidity of identity.

Palazzo Esposizioni / Don McCullin in Rome: A Photographic Odyssey October 10th 2023 – January 28th 2024

Building upon the momentum of his celebrated retrospective at Tate Britain in 2019, the Palazzo Esposizioni introduces an expansive exhibition of Don McCullin’s works. Beyond revisiting the key junctures of his illustrious photography career, the exhibition unveils McCullin’s profound series on the Roman Empire. Initiated in the early 2000s, McCullin himself considers this collection a magnum opus, wherein his salient themes – from the agony captured in snapshots of England’s marginalized, the atrocities of global wars, to the tranquil retreats in Somerset landscapes – seamlessly intertwine.

In this exhibition, viewers are beckoned into a world where anguish and serenity dwell side by side, encapsulated in McCullin’s insightful exploration of the Roman Empire’s remnants in the southern Mediterranean. McCullin’s oeuvre, acclaimed for its unflinching yet emotionally stirring portrayal of subjects from destitution, conflict, to picturesque terrains, consistently echoes with his unique style and fervor.

Spanning over 200 self-printed photographs, the exhibition unfolds across six meticulously curated spaces, each paying homage to specific facets of his work: London and Berlin’s early days, war’s harrowing images, domestic documentations in the UK, international journeys, British landscapes, and the crowning jewel – The Roman Empire’s architectural and historical relics.

Hear Alvin Here offers an eclectic auditory mixtape, capturing Curran’s evolution from the late 1950s to the present. This exhibition is a testament to his ability to interlace diverse musical styles, from popular rhythms to avant-garde improvisations, always anchored by the familiar notes of his beloved piano.

His works during the early 70s, such as Canti E Vedute Del Giardino Magnetico, set the stage for his distinctive sound. With a mission to redefine musical boundaries and take melodies beyond traditional venues, Curran’s impact extends from monumental compositions to academic mentorships.
