Data Dreams explores artificial intelligence and its impact on contemporary life through the work of ten visionary artists. Presented as part of the Sydney International Art Series 2025–26, the exhibition marks a major Australian premiere, bringing together international artists who push the boundaries of art and technology. Their works examine how AI is reshaping the way we live, think, and create. Focusing on urgent contemporary issues, Data Dreams addresses the relationship between technology and power, the influence of algorithms on our perception of reality, and the environmental cost of the data economy.

There is a new landscape within the three arches of the Loggiato Maggiore — and it’s not what you expect. At Palazzo Ducale in Genoa comes Paradossi dell’Abbondanza (2017–2026), a site-specific installation by Marzia Migliora. Ten arches become a single scenario: storm, infestation, hybrid flowers that endure. A landscape suspended between the natural and the artificial, prompting reflection on our responsibilities. A new chapter in the contemporary “re-cladding” of the palace.

William Kentridge, one of the most influential artists of our time, presents a new immersive project of images and sound, with original music by Philip Miller. Moving across drawing, theatre, and animation, his work takes the form of a vast visual and musical collage, shaped by their long-standing collaboration. At the MAXXI, works such as Triumphs and Laments (2016) and The Head and the Load (2018) return as a cine-concert, becoming an immersive experience that reimagines history as a weave of memories, contradictions, and resistance, through moving images and enveloping soundscapes.

At Palazzo Reale, around 400 works — including paintings, sculptures, photographs, and design objects — are presented, on loan from over 150 international institutions and collections. The exhibition spans from key figures of Metaphysical art such as Giorgio de Chirico, Carlo Carrà, and Giorgio Morandi, to its contemporary echoes across art, architecture, cinema, and design. At the Museo del Novecento, the exhibition Milano Metafisica features around 50 works exploring the relationship between the movement and the city, highlighting the activity of de Chirico, Alberto Savinio, and Carrà, alongside drawings by Mimmo Paladino inspired by the novel Ascolto il tuo cuore, città.

Anselm Kiefer dedicates the exhibition Le Alchimiste, conceived for Palazzo Reale, to women who contributed to the birth of modern science yet were excluded from historical narratives. The project brings together 42 large canvases in dialogue with the Sala delle Cariatidi, marked by the 1943 bombings, reinforcing themes of memory, loss, and regeneration. The works, conceived as a single composition, intertwine myth, history, and transformation: from corroded materials, female figures emerge, restoring their voice and presence. The exhibition thus constructs a female “pantheon” of alchemists — including Caterina Sforza and Margaret Cavendish — as symbols of knowledge, care, and the overcoming of prejudice. The installation, with mirrors and reflections, directly engages the viewer in a transformative process, while the materials (lead, ash, gold) become an alchemical metaphor for destruction and rebirth.
