Processi 152: Accademia di Spagna's Year-End Show as a New Beginning

The Real Academia de España in Rome presents 'Processi 152', a group exhibition featuring projects developed by its fellows during the past academic year. Curated by Anna Cestelli Guidi and Caterina Borelli, the show unfolds across the Academy's public and private spaces, including the library, and extends outward to engage with Rome's layered cultural, historical, and architectural fabric. The exhibition emphasizes heterogeneity and multidisciplinarity, with works spanning video (super8, 16mm), installations, sculptures, sound pieces, and performances, notably eschewing painting. According to Cestelli Guidi, the show is defined by multidisciplinarity, a strong presence of video and cinematic language, and a dialogue that moves both among artists within the institution and outward toward Rome. The exhibition is conceived not as a conclusion but as a 'process'—a work in progress that will continue in Spain, building on relationships formed during the residency. The Academy celebrates its 152nd year of activity.
