Three Must-See Summer 2025 Exhibitions in Naples
In the summer of 2025, Naples will highlight its dedication to contemporary art through three significant exhibitions. At Fondazione Morra's Palazzo Cassano Ayerbo D'Aragona, "Giovanni Fontana: prospettive epigenetiche" will feature Fontana's verbo-visual and sound creations, along with earlier works from Millenanni and a film series curated by Mario Franco. Born in Frosinone in 1946, Fontana is a prominent figure in Italian experimental poetry. Meanwhile, at Studio Trisorio, Rebecca Horn (1944, Michelstadt – 2024, Bad König) will unveil "Bodylandscape," which includes large-scale drawings. Joseph Kosuth (1945, Toledo, Ohio) will present "The Question" at Galleria Lia Rumma, featuring a new wall clock referencing Gertrude Stein and pieces from the "Existential time" series, reflecting his analytic philosophy.
