Fabrizio Cotognini. Transitum
From April 3rd to July 19th, 2025, BUILDING GALLERY presents Transitum, a solo exhibition by artist Fabrizio Cotognini, curated by Marina Dacci.
The exhibition, the artist’s first solo project in the gallery spaces, is conceived as an excursus on his artistic research, articulated in several chapters, which are fluidly woven into the exhibition space forming a web of connections.
The exhibition explores and draws heavily on iconographies of the past inspired by epic, mythology, and alchemy. In this macro-narrative, concepts of transformation, memory, identity, and knowledge take shape: in these 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.
The exhibition project runs from June 20 to September 14, 2025, within the spaces of the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum, where 13 works by Cotognini intertwine with the Neo-Renaissance collection of the historic residence, creating a rich dialogue of visual and conceptual references. The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum interprets the language of Transitum, offering a unique perspective that is intimately aligned with the artist’s poetic vision.
