Contemporary art exhibitions in Italy and Canada

Overview

Contemporary art exhibitions in Italy and Canada continue to explore themes of transformation, identity, and modern anxiety.

In Rome, the Galleria Borghese will host Isaac Julien’s film installation, ‘All That Changes You. Metamorphosis (2025)’, from September 15 to October 25, 2026. Part of the ‘Metamorphosis. Ovid and the Arts’ exhibition, the immersive video work is inspired by Giulio Romano’s frescoes and features Sheila Atim and Gwendoline Christie to explore the relationship between humans and the non-human. Additionally, the gres art 671 venue in Bergamo will host ‘Museum Dreams’ until October 4, 2026, presenting a major Italian anthology of Julien’s work focused on nomadism and migration.

In Toronto, the 1313 Gallery is presenting ‘Transumanza’ from September 3 to 13, 2026. This collective exhibition features Italian artists Domenico Mendicino, Antonella Rocca, Andrea Grosso Ciponte, and Bislak, using various media to examine memory and movement.

Italian exhibitions also include Francesco Guadagnuolo’s works, which utilize oil, enamel, and collage to address technological anxiety and global conflict. At Palazzo Marchetti in Malfa, Brazilian artist Marina Perez Simão presents a project examining the relationship between the body and landscape. The Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara will host a retrospective, ‘From Monet to Van Gogh to Kandinsky’, from September 19, 2026, to January 10, 2027, tracing the evolution of European landscape painting from the 19th to the 20th century, covering movements from Impressionism to Futurism.

Newer programming includes the exhibition ‘Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka e il corpo nell’arte contemporanea’ at MUVEC in Mestre, running from September 26, 2026, to February 14, 2027, which examines how Viennese artists used the human body to express desire and the unconscious.
