Phoebe Collings-James’ solo show “A ROSE, A BRIDGE, A HOUSE” at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, London, on view until June 14, 2026

The works are influenced by cuneiform tablets and Ashanti folklore, as well as multi-disciplinary practices including the artist’s extensive work with sound design.
New sculptures from the ongoing series Infidels (2023) will be on display which use Caribbean coiling techniques. They feature elongated forms and open mouths suggesting a human or animal-like act of screaming, expressing joy, resistance or expulsion. The works continue Collings-James’s investigation of the concept of the infidel as representing the figure of the outsider.

The sculptures seem to constantly oscillate between mechanical presence and anthropomorphic figure, between industrial wreck and fairy-tale character. In many of the works emerge an imaginary world that belongs equally to the history of twentieth-century sculpture and to popular culture, handmade toys, cartoons, and children’s narratives.

Tutti giù per terra, Francesco Simeti.

The exhibition will be open until July 24, 2026
Come visit us! Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday from 11 am to 7 pm.

Runo Lagomarsino is part of YO LO SÉ PORQUE ELLA ME LO DIJO, a group show at Museo Emilio Caraffa, Cordoba, on view until 14 June, 2026

The exhibition brings together five artists from the Latin American diaspora in Sweden who, 50 years after the coup, explore exile, violence and disappearances through personal stories.
It highlights memory as a complex and ever-changing process, which seeks to make sense of absence and the unspeakable beyond words.

Flavio Favelli is part of the group show Vita minore. San Francesco e la santità dell’arte contemporanea,
at Palazzo Collicola, on view until June 2, 2026
Curated by Gianni and Giuseppe Garrera, The exhibition project offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the figure of San Francesco on the occasion of the eighth centenary of the death of the saint, who was deeply connected to the Umbria region and Spoleto.

The exhibition retraces the radical and impractical example of St. Francis—the adventure and parable of the saint—through luminous fragments found in contemporary works of art, created by historicized artists and others from subsequent generations.

The exhibition offers visitors new and evocative interpretations of Franciscan thought, transforming Palazzo Collicola into a space where history dialogues with the contemporary world.

The presented works seem to emerge from a process of reactivating memories connected to the artist’s childhood and visual education in the countryside of Alcamo, Sicily. The first sculptures in the exhibition recall works that Simeti created as a very young artist at his family’s farm: assemblages built from carved stones, metal fragments, and found materials, often positioned near the machinery used for agricultural labor. Objects without a precise purpose, yet somehow preserving the memory of one, as if they simultaneously belonged to the worlds of tools, sculpture, and living creatures.

Tutti giù per terra, Francesco Simeti.

In the heart of Carrara, among marble dust and ancient gestures, Ambra Castagnetti is shaping a new body of sculptures.

Ambra Castagnetti’s research unfolds around a principle of transformation that is both material and symbolic: a true alchemy of matter. The figures that emerge from this process take shape as threshold presences: suspended entities between dimensions and capable of traversing different planes of existence while remaining anchored to the visible world.  This imaginary draws upon references to magical and animist thought, where every form is potentially mutable and every identity shifting. The sculptures thus acquire an iconic and almost sacred quality, evoking an archaic spirituality in which body, matter, and spirit are not separate, but continuously “interconvertible”.

The occasion also marks the opening of Ponte di Ferro’s new headquarters — a new space dedicated to artistic production, experimentation, and dialogue in the heart of Carrara. We invite you to discover the studio, the new works, and the process behind them on: Saturday May 30, from 6pm at Viale XX settembre, 01 bis, Carrara.

✨For further information about Ambra Castagnetti’s new and exclusive marble works, please contact the gallery.

🌟 Francesca Minini is pleased to announce the representation of Swiss artist James Bantone.

James Bantone’s practice moves across photography, sculpture, painting, and video, treating the image as a surface where desire, classification, and projection accumulate. Working with found and self-produced imagery, he is less interested in representation as likeness than in the conditions through which a subject becomes readable: how a surface is charged, misrecognized, circulated, and made available to fantasy, value, and consumption.

🌟 We are also delighted to announce his solo exhibition at the gallery September 16, 2026.

In this exhibition, a distinctly autobiographical dimension of Francesco Simeti’s practice emerges with particular clarity, intertwining personal memory, popular culture, childhood imagery, and reflections on the relationship between humans and the landscape.

🌟 Francesca Minini is pleased to announce the representation of British artist Phoebe Collings-James.

Phoebe Collings-James’ (b.1987 London, UK) works across media function as debris of knowledge, feeling, violence, language, and desire that result from living and surviving within hostile environments. Her work spans across sculpture, sound, performance and installation, and unpacks the object as subject by giving life and tension to ceramic forms. Collings-James’ musical alias, young nettle, creates sound design for original music productions, the artist also runs Mudbelly, a ceramics studio, shop and teaching facility offering free ceramics courses for Black people in London, taught by Black ceramicists.

🌟 Phoebe Collings-James will have her solo exhibition at the gallery in 2027.

We are happy to share some of the installation views of "Tutti giù per terra" by Francesco Simeti

The exhibition develops from research initiated by Simeti on the occasion of the Cheongju Craft Biennale in Korea, where the artist began reflecting on contemporary technologies tied to the intensive extraction of natural resources.
Through the layering of images, materials, and personal memories, Simeti constructs an exhibition in which ecological reflection does not emerge through a direct representation of catastrophe, but rather through ambiguous, seductive, and deeply human forms. An emotional landscape in which the machine takes on the features of a body, sculpture those of a character, and where even violence continues to coexist with the stubborn desire to imagine a possibility of relationship between humans and nature.

The exhibition will be open until July 24, 2026
Come visit us! Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday from 11 am to 7 pm.
