In 2025, GAMeC will bring Maurizio Cattelan to Bergamo, who will be the focus of the exhibition in the historical Palazzo della Ragione, the museum’s summer venue since 2018.
Exceptionally in 2025, as part of Thinking Like a Mountain, the exhibition project of the renowned Italian artist will extend beyond the Palazzo’s walls, thanks to a collaboration with the Municipality of Bergamo. Dates for the summer exhibition will be announced shortly.
After the first two cycles of events for Thinking Like a Mountain held in 2024, in 2025 the biennial programme of GAMeC - Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo will again actively involve the communities of the Bergamo Province territory thanks to the participation of international artists.
With a rich series of artistic projects on the territory of the Province of Bergamo, with a focus on the pre-Alpine areas, on the Bergamo valleys, and urban green areas, GAMeC’s widespread two-year programme Thinking Like a Mountain continues, under the artistic direction of Lorenzo Giusti. The programme takes place in light of the forthcoming opening of the museum’s new venue, scheduled for fall 2026.
In 2025 Maurizio Cattelan will be the main protagonist of the upcoming exhibition in the historical Palazzo della Ragione, GAMeC’s summer venue since 2018. Exceptionally on this occasion, in keeping with the spirit of Thinking Like a Mountain, the project will extend outside the walls of the Palazzo thanks to the collaboration with the Municipality of Bergamo, bringing the most internationally renowned Italian artist—known for his bold and innovative approach—to confront public space.
Beside the site-specific works by Maurizio Cattelan in Bergamo (opening in June 2025), the programme will feature international artists engaged in the development of projects born out of encounters with different local communities. Among them: Atelier dell’Errore, Bianca Bondi, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Asunción Molinos Gordo, Francesco Pedrini, and Julius von Bismarck, joined by film productions by Agnese Galiotto, Giulio Squillacciotti, and Invernomuto and Michela De Mattei.
