In this ancient city, MACRO, which has one gallery in the neighbourhood of Nomentano and a second in Testaccio, brings you all that is modern; with acclaimed international artists and a space that is fast becoming a creative public meeting place, with its restaurant MACRO 138, rooftop, cafe, bookshop and installation art. The Spazio Area has wifi, international art magazines and newspapers and hosts events and workshops with poets, artists and philosophers. MACRO used to be a Peroni beer-producing factory, while MACRO Testaccio is a former slaughterhouse with pavilions built as far back as 1888.
One of the most popular exhibitions currently at MACRO Testaccio is ‘Big Bamboo‘, an installation of thousands of pieces of bamboo connected and interlocked, reaching a height of 25 metres. Until 15 September you can check the contemporary international sculpture exhibition of acclaimed Japanese artist Hidetoshi Nagasawa. You can also view the final part of STUDIO SHOWS, works created by the artists in residence, including Brian Bress, Riccardo Giacconi, Kateřina Šedá and Luca Trevisani. The artists have been working with four spaces of the second floor of the gallery from February to May this year to create customised works inspired by the city.

It’s not all crumbling ruins and ancient history in Rome. Locals and visitors alike have flocked to MAXXI to marvel at the building itself – designed by Zaha Hadid – and to celebrate architecture, modern art and creativity in general. The premises is made up of two parts: MAXXI Arte and MAXXI Architettura. The former delves not just into art but also theatre, dance, music, fashion, graphics, film and advertising. While MAXXI Architettura is a museum, archive, library and mediatheque celebrating all forms of architecture.
Exemplifying the fusion of past and future, this month you’ll find one of the exhibitions displaying designs for three new churches to be built in Ferrara, Olbia and Mormanno, Coscenza. ‘21 Per XXI: Nuove Chiese Italiane‘ presents the results of the sixth series of national competitions organised by the Italian Episcopal Conference, for the realisation of new parish buildings.
This month you can also explore the major anthological exhibition devoted to the Italian master of photography, ‘Luigi Ghirri – Thinking Images‘. You can view over 300 images, as well as mock-ups for catalogues, published books, journals; a selection of photographs and artist’s books documenting his encounters and collaborations with Modena’s conceptual artists during the early 1970s; illustrated postcards and anonymous photographs collected by Ghirri, used to investigate his research into amateur photography and the stereotype of the landscape.
And don’t miss ‘Alighiero Boetti a Roma‘, on show until 6 October, which follows through 30 works “the relationship that bound Boetti to Rome, how the capital’s artistic community was influenced by him and how his contacts with the East were fundamental to the re-emergence of a new colouristic sensibility during the 1980s.” Quotes from Boetti give you a glimpse of his reverence for the city of Rome.
“Here (in Rome) I’m a stranger. I’m somebody visiting, which is why I’m always aware of where I am.” The exhibition also delves into the relationship between Boetti’s works and those of Francesco Clemente and Luigi Ontani, also passionate about the power of Rome over the artist.

Since 2007, Gallery Director Alexandra Mazzanti has devoted a velvet boudoir in central Rome to pop surrealism. This gallery boasts a luxe and edgy feel.

Gallery Director Michele von Büren’s philosophy (click here to read the interview we made with her) refers not just to the gallery’s prices but also to her selection and presentation of artworks. She features award-winning artists from the Venice Biennale, for example, and features painters, sculptors and photographers. RvB is currently exhibiting Re-cycle, sculptures by Alessio Deli, until 14 May 2013.
Emmeotto Living Gallery
A gorgeous contemporary space in a historic palazzo, this gallery invites a multi-sensory experience. From 18 April to 1 June, the Emmeotto Living Gallery presents drawing, painting and sculpture by Italian artist Danilo Bucchi. One of his distinctive aspects is the use of a syringe in place of a paintbrush, which creates graffiti-like accents in monochromatic compositions. Subjects include capricious dolls, a self-portrait and ever-present black circles.
Pio Monti Gallery
Founded in 1974, by a stalwart of the Italian contemporary arts scene and an avant-garde contemporary of Andy Warhol, this gallery is in the beautiful Roman Ghetto. Its small exhibition space consists of two rooms, one of which opens directly onto Piazza Mattei with its exquisite Turtle Fountain (completed in 1588). From 15 May to June, the gallery is exhibiting a personal collection of works from art dealer Massimo Minini celebrating his beloved Aeolian Islands.
Lorcan O’Neill Gallery
Located in a refurbished stable, this hip gallery was set up by a former London art dealer. Just some of the power-packing international artists recently exhibited include British Tracey Emin and Italian Pietro Ruffo. Until 30 May 2013, paintings and sculptures by London-based Prem Sahib are on show offering what he describes as “a sexed-up minimal aesthetic.” In counterpoint, the colourful sculpture and paintings by Rome-based artist Jebilia Wolfe-Okongwu are also on display
Mondo Bizzarro Gallery
This gallery was originally established in Bologna in 1995 and relocated to Rome in 2004. It promotes the ‘subversive arts’ of tattoos, indie music, cult cinema, street art, erotic photography and pop surrealism. The gallery states that it is “not a conventional art gallery but a dynamic place of research, ready to transmit, through art, a specific interpretation of contemporaneity.” From 4 May to 4 June 2013, the gallery exhibits Iron-y, paintings by Italian artist Ania Tomicka.

Located at Palazzo Sforza Cesarini, this gallery exhibits both Italian and international artists. Mystery is a theme that unites the gallery’s curatorial choices. The current exhibition is ‘Set’ by German artist Gerold Miller. It is showing until 21 May. Miller’s striking and minimalist work focuses on the conceptual space of its presentation. His artworks are flat objects rather than pictures per se and create dialogue between frame, framed, boundary and surface.
Nomas Foundation
This is more than just a gallery. It is a socially engaged hub of creativity assisting the development of international artists and the discourse surrounding them. Its program is curated by Cecilia Canziani and Ilaria Gianni and involves exhibitions, seminars, performances, screenings, research and educational activities plus residencies for artists, curators… and even critics! Some of its luminous collaborators include Marina Abramovic and Tracey Moffatt.
Valentina Bonomo Gallery
Representing both established international artists and rising stars, this gallery was set up in its atmospheric home in 2002. Curator Valentina Bonomo is regularly involved in special projects additional to her gallery including, for example, a recent collaboration between Italian artist Mimmo Paladino and Brian Eno. The current exhibition by Italian artist Luca Trevisani is a beautiful multi-modal series exploring the organic through sculpture, video, and photography.
Ashanti Gallery
Nestled in the alternative alleyways of Monti, this exhibition space offers a treasure trove of paintings, jewellery design and various other initiatives. It is run by a young and enterprising group of collaborators overseen by owner Raffaele Cinzio. Exhibitions feature artists’ collectives and this year the gallery is celebrating its 12th birthday. Artists who are currently guests of the gallery include Antonio Tamburro, Sabrina Ortolani, and Stefano Bolcato.
CO2 Gallery
Opened in 2007 by Giorgio Galotti, CO2 is devoted to emerging international artists. It regularly produces a picture-driven magazine based on its exhibits, which is funky and variously distributed. A project entitled ‘Teorema di Gauss’ is on show from 3 May. It focuses on the creative act by putting into play two generations of artists, one established and one emerging. The title refers to scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss and alludes to processes of artistic influence.
