From April 3rd to July 19th, 2025, BUILDING GALLERY presents Transitum, a solo exhibition of artist Fabrizio Cotognini, curated by Marina Dacci.

The exhibition – the artist’s first solo project in the gallery’s spaces – is conceived as an excursus on his artistic research, articulated in several chapters, which are fluidly woven into the exhibition space in a web of connections.

In this structured path, BUILDING GALLERY houses a vast selection of more than 90 works, including microcastings, sculptures, installations and drawings, some of them made on 18th Century engravings, of which Cotognini is a passionate collector.
The exhibition explores and draws heavily from iconographies of the past inspired by epics, mythology, and alchemy.

In this macro-narrative, concepts of transformation, memory, identity, and knowledge take shape: in these the power of the imagines agentes actualize our relationship with the ancient to interrogate our present.
Thus, the figurative elements of the imagines agentes act as temporal condensations capable of activating our memory.

As curator Marina Dacci observes, “The title of the exhibition becomes a metaphor for the artist’s own posture aimed at continuous research. Transitum narrates an infinite potential of both matter and human nature: nature in relation to man overbearingly appears throughout the exhibition, literally in a bird’s eye view.”

The exhibition project will run, from April 3rd to July 5th, 2025, in Gallery Moshe Tabibnia , where the artist proposes a dialogue woven around the figure of the swan, a mythological animal whose iconography crosses the history of art.
