Fondazione D’ARC announces 2025 program with exhibitions and residencies in Rome
In Rome, the Fondazione D’ARC, established by Giovanni and Clara Floridi, has unveiled its program for 2025. Set to launch in autumn 2024 within a repurposed cement factory in Tiburtina, the foundation will showcase 20th- and 21st-century art through a variety of exhibitions, events, residencies, and workshops. Its permanent collection features post-war abstraction, kinetic art, Arte Povera, and contemporary pieces. Under the direction of Giuliana Benassi, the inaugural season will commence on March 15, 2025, with new visiting hours (Thursday to Saturday, 3:30–7:30 PM) and an entry fee of €10. The program kicks off on May 24 with Lulù Nuti's solo exhibition "Tre corpi," followed by residencies from Chiffon Thomas (mid-May to mid-June) and Aneta Grzeszykowska (July), paving the way for upcoming exhibitions.
