ANSELM KIEFER | Solo show "SOLARIS" | Nijo Castle, Kyoto

Curated by Fumio Nanjo, former director of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, the exhibition unfolds across the buildings and gardens of Kyoto’s historic Nijo Castle. Featuring new and recent works by Anselm Kiefer, including paintings and sculptures, the project establishes a dialogue between the German artist’s practice and the traditional arts, craftsmanship, and architecture of both the castle and the city of Kyoto. As Kiefer reflects: “The utilitarian use of gold as a source of reflected illumination at Nijo Castle is a revelation to me. The confluence of aesthetics and political power on this site, and the historical cycle of creation, destruction, and rebirth, echoes my own consciousness.”

MICHELANGELO PISTOLETTO | "Rivedersi" | Palazzo Donn’Anna, Naples

Rivedersi continues a dialogue and a friendship of over fifty years between Lia Rumma and Michelangelo Pistoletto, which began in 1968 in Amalfi and was reinforced by the exhibition Vedersi, held in Capri in 1987. On view in the timeless setting of Palazzo Donn’Anna — Lia Rumma’s residence in Naples — Quadri Specchianti (Mirror Paintings) portraying Neapolitan subjects, created from the 1980s to the present, including the portrait of Lia Rumma. These figures, captured on mirrored surfaces, span time and reflect once again, questioning memory, identity, and transformation. Each work becomes a threshold between past and present, drawing the viewer into an experience of presence and reflection. Rivedersi is an intimate journey — a silent encounter between image and reflection — a suspended moment where art holds memory, relationships, and identity. Available to visit by appointment, on Wednesdays, and Thursdays, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM. By contacting napoli@liarumma.it

WILLIAM KENTRIDGE | solo show | MITA – Brescia | 2025

From May 30 to July 13, 2025, MITA – Cultural Center in Brescia presents the exhibition “Geographies of Solitude. The Tapestries of William Kentridge and the Carpets of the Mountains”, curated by Giovanni Valagussa. The exhibition is part of MITA’s ongoing programme dedicated to the dialogue between ancient textile traditions and contemporary artistic languages. Following "The Knots of Paradise Gardens (Brescia Castle, 2023)", the project continues to explore textile as a narrative, poetic and political space. On view the celebrated Porter Series by William Kentridge — one of the leading figures on the international contemporary art scene — features monumental tapestries in which fragmented black silhouettes emerge from geographic maps, creating a dramatic tension between figure and space, presence and displacement. Alongside Kentridge’s works, a selection of  Gabbeh and Sarab carpets from the Zaleski Collection enriches the exhibition. Woven in the mountains of Northern and Western Persia, these artefacts are known for their essential structure and minimalist imagery, offering a poetic counterpoint to the artist’s vision.
