April, sweet April… but that doesn’t apply to contemporary art.

Here are the five exhibitions not to be missed this month!

Contemporary art: exhibitions to see in May 2025

#5exhibitionspermonth

#APRIL2025

Here are five exhibitions opening in April in five contemporary art galleries in Italy.

This is not a ranking of the best exhibitions!

These are 5 current proposals that offer different food for thought, together with an overview of contemporary research.

– a journey through transformation, memory, identity and knowledge between the ancient and the present

– an exploration of humanity in nature

– a reflection on the relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence

– an idealised and melancholic representation of nature and the landscape

– the evolution of being through the randomness and fluidity of forms

Keep in art,
Alice

5 EXHIBITIONS IN APRIL 2025: CONTEMPORARY ART IN MILAN, VENICE, NARNI SCALO AND REGGIO EMILIA

Fabrizio Cotognini, Hybridatio Mundi (dettaglio), 2011, microfusione in bronzo, marmo verde del Guatemala, ph. P-38 studio

Transitum
Fabrizio Cotognini

curated by Marina Dacci

The exhibition presents a selection of over 90 works, including microcastings, sculptures, installations and drawings, and explores iconography from the past inspired by epic poetry, mythology and alchemy.

In this macro-narrative, concepts of transformation, memory, identity and knowledge take shape, in which the power of imagines agentes brings our relationship with the ancient world into the present to question our own. Imagines agentes, therefore, whose figurative elements act as temporal condensations capable of activating our memory.

Paul Onditi
Encoded Consciousness: Art in the Age of Tech

The exhibition reflects on the complex relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence. Through his works, Onditi explores how technology influences perception, memory and identity in the digital age, offering food for thought on our experience of the world in an increasingly hybrid dimension between the organic and the digital. The exhibition addresses highly topical issues related to artificial intelligence, sustainability and the future of art.

Chiara Fantaccione
Melancholia

The exhibition explores the idealised representation of Nature and landscape. The artist’s work attributes human characteristics to it, linking the theme of melancholy to the technological dimension and the failures of digital technology through a seductive and aesthetic connotation.

Ivan Lorenzo Frezzini, Diffusione di Eva II, 2024, acrilico liquido su tela, cm 90×90

Dissolvenze. Di volto in volto

curated by Federico Bonioni

The theme of transformation is central to the work of Ivan Lorenzo Frezzini, who creates compositions in which control dances with chance and colour expands freely. His works recount the evolution of being through the randomness and fluidity of forms, starting from figurative subjects declined into new images, charged with positive vibrations.
